Newsflash: Another Boring Exclusion Dieter Goes Extreme

April 16, 2013

I’ve seen heaps in my social media feeds about diets, dry months, sugar-as-poison, quitting sugar. The first moment I did, my mind picked a fight with itself; the here-and-now, wanting-but-dreading part said WHO WOULD DO THAT TO THEMSELVES? pushing the uncomfortable thoughts away.

My Night, In Rhyme. Not What I’d planned.

April 9, 2013

  I curse you, blinking cursor, you mock me on the page. Had a stack of inspiration, now I’m naked on the stage. It’s 1am I need my bed… My words have all just left my head!   I had stuff to write- funny, sad or true, I’m not making this up, I promise you! [...]

April 5, 2013

There are times when it all gets a bit much and I just need to pare right back to the simple things. School holidays can be work, as can other stuff I won’t bore you with today. Life is complex, responsibilities can seem too great and social media has its moments. But this week, stepping [...]

Father and Son at the Footy. An Unusual Tradition.

April 2, 2013

March 26, 2013

Last week my mind and life were taken over by DPCON13, the Digital Parents Conference 2013.

Apparently it’s Friday… DPCON13 Pt1

March 22, 2013

Plugged into a wall, posting by phone and rehydrating with sore feet… I’m taking a leaf out of Grace’s #FYBF book and making this a very quick one. It’s been a whirlwind few days and I really had to stop and think about what day it actually is. Last night was the gala and dinner [...]

I Do Not Give Good First Impressions

March 19, 2013

On the eve of the Digital Parents Conference 2013 in Sydney, knowing I am about to meet so many of my dear and yet-to-know lovelies from the blogosphere, I have to tell you something.

Follow Up and More Links on Bullying

March 14, 2013

In case you missed it, my first post was published at The Shake yesterday, on a subject so very close to my heart- bullying. I’ve written on bullying before here on my blog and I wish my son and I weren’t such experts on this. However the latest incident that threw me most of all [...]
