WIWT : Introducing What I Wore Today

By -
 What I Wore Today will be an adhoc feature on FiveTribe for future giggles from my kids....I can just imagine in 20yrs time their "you wore THAT??" exclamations! I promise to keep it random and honest....good days, schlumfy days (tks Shayne!) and everything inbetween.

Today I wore this: long tunic with cowel neck (Mr P) with knitted turquoise V-neck long T (WW) studded leggings (Edgars) and boots (Miladys or some other equally lame shop!) 


I must say I think it has a bit of a 60's vibe going on, not planned but looking at the silhouette....hmmm. I will endeavour to sort my camera out in the near future but I kinda liked the crazy flashy thing :-)

I dont usually dress like this - usually the school run finds me in my gym sweats but this particular morning I was off to coffee with a mate!

Would be great if you guys played along now 'n then.....am sure YOUR kids would appreciate seeing more of YOU in your blogposts too! (not to mention your readers ;-)

Love it!

I never go into Mr P. Perhaps I should start.

I must say i wouldn't wear dotty spangly leggings - but you've got the legs so flaunt 'em doll!

Cool idea :) You are rocking the boots!

Due to my rather expanding belly my kids walk around saying "are you wearing THAT?" or "Pull up your pants" *sigh*

Looking good Mel! I have been thinking of doing a post like this now and then since I started reading Wendy.

Oh those boots are fab so I need to know what the arb shop is. And yes, will join in - in fact, I think I will just now.

Love what you are wearing! Not sure I could do spangling leggings though (I am battling with just getting round the idea of leggings as it is).

Think this is a great idea.

Hello April 2024

By -
We have settled into our new home.  It has taken many twists and turns along the way. In August 2022, Rach moved out and now she is returning home. Which means I am renovating the tiny house to make space for my firstborn.  I can safely say I am very excited to have everyone under the roof again - I was not ready for my eldest to leave so soon. It was never the plan. Life has a way of offering second chances and restoration in way we never can imagine. Although this comes with its own set of challenges - for her and for me - I see it as an absolute win. It may be a revolving door and various permutations in the years ahead but this is almost certainly the last year all 3 kids will be under my roof. This blog was born in 2007 - when Levi was under a year old. I spent the next 8 years sharing my life and theirs right here.  I have battled to figure out what this blog now needs to be ?  Am I going to continue to write for my kids? I am not even sure they need that anymo...

Silent Tears

As I was rushing around putting kids to bed my tween, Honey, beckoned to me. 'Come here Mom, I need to talk to you.' Something in her tone slowed me down and forced me to take a breath and follow her into her bedroom. As I looked at my beautiful daughter, growing up so fast I heard these words tumble out of her mouth: 'Mom, I hate my face. I am ugly'. I cannot tell you how unprepared I was for this statement. And yet, in an instant, I remembered this time in my life; when I looked in the mirror and didnt like what I saw. I listened quietly as she went through each of her stunning features and told me what she saw. I know there is little I can say with objectivity as her mother. She wont believe me just as I didnt believe my mother. I am happy to say when she woke up this morning she was her usual cheerful self. Full of beans, energy and confidence. Not a glimmer of the sad, insecure little person I saw the previous evening. I will have to start anticipatin...

April lockdown life

The weekend went by in a blur.  A blur of eating, lounging, sleeping, netflixing, occasional exercise and general malaise. I did, finally, get around to setting my kids loose to find their Easter eggs...a week later but no one really knows what day of the week or month it is anyways. There was much hilarity as the boyf took his life in his hands and pushed the girlf into the pool to celebrate Easter victory. Usually this would have him sin-binned for hours but she took it unusually well.... I spent some time online searching for ways to pivot the business I work for...in an attempt to keep my income rolling in. Sadly my rental properties are not ticking over as my tenants cannot pay rent...this will be month 2 of zero rental income for me which is terrifying..but I cannot blame them. We are all suffering at the hands of this ridiculous outbreak and can only hope that some sort of revenue generating income finds its way into our economy soon. I have started watching Outlande...
