We are living in a crazy reality currently. People in self-isolation and enforced to work from home, canceling events, no international travel, and the closing of businesses to ensure that the public stays safe from COVID-19 or otherwise known as coronavirus.

COVID-19 (Coronavirus) has made its way to our home town, and this is very concerning. We are doing everything in our power to stay safe and healthy, but you never know what will happen. The local high school is closed as they have had a positive case of the virus and other events have been cancelled. I hope that we stay well and so do our friends and family.

Today is a leap day and one that many can finally celebrate their birthdays, anniversaries and women can propose to men AND the men have to accept! Read on to find out more at the Leap Year and Leap Day.

Welcome to the first post of my three-post series about motherhood, breastfeeding, being a new mum and loads more! In this post, I interview Australia’s leading breastfeeding expert, Pinky McKay. Stay tuned for the next posts in the BigW Bub & Me Series.

I am shocked to learn that the twins are visiting high school next week for the day and also soon I need to enroll the twins into the local high school! They have only started term 1 and now we need to focus on high school.

We’ve had non-stop torrential rain and it is now causing flooding. Trees have fallen blocking roads, flooding over roads have meant more roads are closed and other issues due to heavy rain and winds. Stay safe everyone!

The twins seem happy with grade 6 so far, they got great teachers and are pleased that they are finally the big kids at the school. Let’s hope that this happiness stays this way throughout the year.

My girls start grade 6 tomorrow. Yep, the last year of primary school is upon us and also attitude from grunty preteens. Wish us luck and I hope the kids get the teachers and the classes they want.

It hasn’t felt like a very joyful start to the new year, we’ve had fires, evacuations and people have lost houses and loved ones. Due to all the dangers and fires across Australia, it has made me think how grateful I am that we are safe and well. So currently “grateful” is my word for 2020 so far.

Merry Christmas everyone! Have a happy and safe holiday. I hope you are safe if you have evacuated due to fires and you are all well.

The girls and I saw the premiere of The Biggest Little Farm and loved it. It is an amazing 8-year journey of how John and Molly Chester take a drought-ridden farm and turn it into a magical oasis of life. In cinemas Jan 16th, 2020.
