Where did I put my Happy? Thanks to Kids Business for giving me the opportunity to contribute to their Happiness inspires Happiness blogs.

Little People have BIG Feelings

Little People have BIG Feelings If I had a dollar for every person in the past couple of months who has said to me “Kids are resilient … they adapt easily … don’t worry about it” I could probably retire. In mid-November we moved “home” to Sydney after a 16 month stint in Melbourne.

I Want to Run Away! Do you ever want to Run Away?

I Want to Runaway There are days that I just want to runaway. I want to runaway from the voice in my head. I want to run from the mess in my house. I want to run and just be on my own.

What Fear are you afraid of unconsciously teaching your child?

I can still remember an occasion when I would have been about eight years old or so and my mother was very sick in bed so I was watching TV in the lounge room by myself, when a hand sized huntsman crawled out from behind the … [Read more...]

“Next Time, There Won’t Be A Next Time” Eminem speaks to Easy Peasy Kids on Christsmas Eve.

"Next Time, There Won't Be A Next Time" Time, where does it go? This time last year I said I'd be organised, I would have everything  bought and wrapped by September, it didn't happen - it never does.
