How lazy are we making our kids?
October 29th, 2009, 1 Comment
The debate is heated as to kids weight issues and the growing trend for inactive children, which apparently is stretching down to (or more likely starting from) pre-schoolers.
TV seems to be the number one culprit in creating this trend with an article printed recently in the Herald Sun (Melbourne on 27/10/2009) stating that resent research [...]
Fresh Fruit & Veggie Swap
October 21st, 2009, No Comments
I love the concept of home grown fruit and vegetable, though currently we are not in a situation where was can grown more than a few of our herbs. Developing a veggie garden is definitely on the to-do-list and something that I think would be great. I look forward to going through the experience with [...]
Bookclub – Worthwhile or a Waste?
October 12th, 2009, No Comments
Since I was a little girl I remember nights when Mum would have her head buried in a book that she desperately wanted to finish before ‘Bookclub’. In my mind Bookclub was something for people a lot older than me – for Mums.
But then as time has a habit of doing, it quietly passed. When [...]
Whose Choice Is It? Natural or Caesarean
September 10th, 2009, No Comments
For a first time Mother the thought of pushing out a large baby is terrifying, I know this first hand and early on asked about a Caesarean when it became evident that I had a big baby on board.
With this in mind I was really disappointed this week when reading about a Mum who was [...]
Spring has sprung – the gym is packed
September 9th, 2009, No Comments
In an attempt to get rid of some kilos, get back into shape and feel healthier within myself I joined the gym back in April. Now my attendance generally has been relatively good as the gym has a crèche as part of the membership…which is fantastic and makes attending so much more attractive and achievable. [...]
Fantastic Facial… shame about the attitude
September 8th, 2009, 1 Comment
I recently ‘cashed in’ a gift voucher that I had been given for a facial. A lovely, long, luxurious facial that included a shoulder massage and head massage – pure bliss!! For an hour I was puffed and pampered and I loved every minute of it. A facial or massage is such a lovely present [...]
Bad Hair Day?
May 18th, 2009, 1 Comment
There has been quite a number of times since kids that I have got up in the morning in a haze, dealt with the kids am routines, had a shower and then looked in the mirror to put on some make-up in the 5 secs that I have allowed for my beauty routine and – [...]
Swine Flu
April 30th, 2009, Comments Off
Picture from The Age online
It did send a shiver up my spine on Sunday, when listening to the radio I first heard about the Swine flu in Mexico… transmitted from an animal, no specific vaccine to handle it, mutating fast, effecting the fit and strong… all things to the non-medically educated sounds bad, [...]
Kids with Allergies – Mums Card is helping
March 31st, 2009, No Comments
Parents who have kids who suffer from allergies and illnesses definitely have an added burden of responsibility when it comes to parenting. They need to be even more aware of the environments their children are in and to always ensure that the people involved with their kids are educated not only about their allergy or [...]
Cough Remedy
March 24th, 2009, No Comments
Last week I had the displeasure of 2 small children with colds. Not only was there the standard misery that goes with colds and the inconceivable amount of snot, but there was the cough that went all night.
After the first night of seriously disturbed sleep I complained to a friend who enlightened me of the [...]
