That Awkward Stage

By -
Some might remember my flirtation with hair extensions in October last year? They were a surprise for my man ... Who has been asking me to grown my hair for 10years!

To be honest I simply wasn't sure it could still look good so I decided to I forgo the mission of growing it and surprise him ... With extensions !


I lasted about a week before nearly tearing my (fake) hair out with my bare hands. I just never could get used to the feel of it however I did love the look of it and resolved to grow my own.


I am now in that heinous awkward stage with inbetween hair.. And it's just not fun (or attractive)  but I shall persevere !

Heavy fringe growing out...at home I clip it back...not pretty but practical!

I hate having to grow my hair out - which I seem to have to do on a regular basis. I grow it, get frustrated or hot and then cut it. Regret it a few months later and repeat the whole process.

Rather you than me ... the reason why I don't have long hair.
It looks good so far.

I'm the same 'Ordinarylife'! Forever growing, cutting, growing, cutting! I've just had a proper fringe cut in and now I don't like it :( I was so busy yapping to the hairdresser I forgot to tell him not to cut it too short. My husband's raised eyebrows when he saw it spoke volumes...

Hmm, my comment went in as 'anonymous'. I must have clicked the wrong button again. Sorry!

I am trying and struggling to grow my fringe out at the moment...some days I feel like cutting it myself.

I am also growing my hair and to be honest, it's harder than I expected. The current length is the longest it's ever been. I'm giving myself until December 2013. Then it is being CHOPPED OFF. The in-between stage is the worst.

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...
