Thank you so much Zoe for giving up your pre-planned night to keep me well entertained and laughing all night long. In true birthday weekend tradition you jam packed so many memories into one night, you are the worlds BEST best friend!! Never a dull moment Saturday night bringing in our 25th's. From the possessed candles which had the fire brigade going off to the click of the camera every time I came out of the loo. So glad I said...

Hair, make-up, nails, crowns, jewels.. you name it, it was there!
We were told to come wearing foundation and to bring a night gown.

She's...

Unbelievable. A MUST read!
After my husband left me last year I was overwhelmed with responsibility. Our daughter Nevaeh, three at the time was displaying signs of frustration and was acting out her emotions quite severely. She needed constant supervision and stimulation which at the time I didn't have the energy to do. Jiedyn on the other hand, was angry after being shunned from the only father he had ever known and was bottling his anger until recently speaking...

Teaching my son to be honest.

I contacted Jiedyn's father (real father) to maybe provide some of that fathering and want that was missing from his life. Although he is a drug addict and was undeserving of the hours with Jiedyn, I sat down with this man and layed it out for him. He is his father. I didn't care what he does in his spare time, I dont care who he sees and what drugs he takes as long as for three hours a fortnight he was clean enough to spend some quality...

Bacchus Marsh Naidoc Celebrations 2013

On the 13th of July, indigenous people of Bacchus Marsh and surrounding areas come together to take part in the Naidoc week celebrations in our amazing community. Asked by Cr Tonia Dudzik a few weeks before the national event to raise the Torres Strait Islander flag I was both nervous and excited to do so.

Her first day of Kinder..

Walking out of home with her bag on her back, Nevaeh was extremely excited and a tad bit nervous to be going to check out her new kindergarten.
Waiting for the taxi Nevaeh told me she had pains in her tummy. I could tell she was nervous. It was such a big step for my little miss who has only ever enjoyed my company.
