"Mum, my nose wont stop sniffing"  Quoted by my 3 year old. sigh..  its the weekend and as a Mumma this is when you can feel helpless. I remember being up at 1am with my eldest son, (hes nearly 10 now) with a really bad sniffle. I was in the bathroom with the hot water running to steam the room up. I sat on the bathroom floor with him in my arms and crying my eyes out. I was helpless. What more could I do for him.  Not to mention sleep deprivation.  I make the call to the doctors the next day, only to be told by doctors that you need to just wait it out!! Sometimes a mothers worst nightmare. I mean seriously, you just piled all the kids into car, waited for an eternity in the waiting room, handed over your credit card only to be told that.  Frustrating!!  What if I told you, that you had the tools in your home to help that ickness, that you didnt need to all pile in the car and hear those words  "wait it out"....

I sit with hot cuppa beside me and behind me is a tidy house. Oh boi, my eyes are on soft focus, just taking it all in. When you tidy up, do you actual sit and enjoy it? if not, I suggest you start to. Its very rewarding. Pop puirfy  or lemongrass in the diffuser as well. It may only last 10 minutes, but at least I know it has the potential to be tidy. Let me ask you something, when you say the words, "My house is such a pigsty" or "dont need to worry about anyone breaking in, it looks like it is robbed anyway! " What do you really mean? Pick up that cuppa, have a mouthful and ponder that statement. What do you really mean by a 'pigsty ' and ' robbed'. As Mummas you can get so mixed up on what it means to have things tidy and in order, compared to the house being unclean. Now we all aren't clean freaks and we all have little obsessions in the home. For me, the floor in the kitchen and dining must be swept before we walk out the do...

Some days you wake up and you just dont feel yourself. I woke up feeling a little woozy, a little off, a little moody.  Something wasn’t right. I figured maybe a piece of dry toast with some Vegemite would help settle 'whatever is going on" but that didn’t seem to be doing the trick, either. Crap! I have a list  mile thing to do, emails to send and phone calls to make.   I picked up the phone “Please, oh please, help me get through this conversation.” Well, I got through the conversation. Another happy customer!!  Minutes later I ended on the lounge room floor. Seriously, why cant I snap out of this. Noni laid beside me and we chatted all things polly pockets! Who remembers those from their childhood and the cupcake dolls.. why oh why, didnt I keep mine!!  I stayed horizontal for a solid a hour. I laid there just thinking. why was I feeling this way. What is happening! I felt like I was being wiped out or getting struck by some nasty virus.  ...
