Welcome

G'day! This is where I share my thoughts, stories, and a bit of everything in between. Join me on this journey as I explore life, one blog post at a time. I hope you find something that resonates with you!

Baby Brain?

Mums always talk about "Baby Brain". Usually as an excuse for doing something dumb. But how long can you get away with that excuse? Asking for a friend....

FOCA

Well, I came here thinking I needed to vent about how I've been a gym member for about a week and haven't yet gone. Turns out, I did my last post on joining the gym only 3 days ago so now I don't feel so bad. I've been in and collected my all access 24/7 tag, but as for actually exercising, NOPE! And will I? Likely, NOPE!

Grounding

I think it was my Aunty Carol who first told me about "grounding". It's where you go bare feet on the lawn or in nature and get back in touch with the Earth. Or something like that. I think it's also called "earthing" actually.

Shower in the dark!

Sometimes, let's face it most of the time, I'm burnt out. I work full time. I mum part time physically, full time mentally. At the moment, the mumming is full time everything as Elsie is home getting ready for prep. I really should have booked her in for vacation care, but nope, I can do it! I had thought.

Family

I'm depressed. I've just said goodbye to my Sister and her kids after a wonderful Christmas and New Year together. They live about a 14 hour drive away, or a 2 hour flight, if you can be stuffed doing the 2 hour drive to Brisbane and then fluffing about at the airport with small kids. Anyways, we catch up when we can, and it's great. And then it's sad.

Disclaimer about AI

Don't you just hate it how now when you see a video, you think, oh hang on, is this real or is it AI? Anyways, I said I won't be using AI to write any of my posts, and that's the absolute truth. I will, however, use AI to help me with this website and the general setup of things. For example, AI has helped me write my 'about' page, 'contact me' page etc. and I might use it to help with that sort of thing. As for the posts in the blog, they are all me, 100% of the time. Like I said earlier, I'm a pretty good typist, and have been tested at 99% accuracy at 80wpm speeds. I will try to include a few errors now and then so you know there's no AI here. Although spell/grammar check these days is pretty darn good!

Kicking things off

I've had a desire to write for as long as I can remember. I've started numerous blogs, numerous word docs saved in obscure places never to be found again, not to mention the possible thousand notebooks I've bought over the years.
