Paleo eating has come up in discussions a lot lately due to my ever diminishing self. I have been eating that way for about 6 weeks. I have previously written about it. I feel great and can see the changes in myself daily. I am sleeping better, feel more rested , less stressed, have clearer skin and am continuing to …
Coming to America
Moving countries is not an easy thing to do. Don’t let anyone tell you any different. It never entered my head that I would live anywhere else in the world than Australia. I didn’t even know I would move to another town from where I spent my whole life!
Simple Paleo snack
Looking for snack food today I discovered vegie chips. When I say I discovered, I’ve known about them but the Princesses facebook status was a reminder. Simple to do, delicious and super low calories. Get some vegies, zucchini, carrots, beets or sweet potatoes, slice them thinly, spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
Grrrrrrr………….The Sunday night homework cram.
We’ve had this conversation over and over. I thought we were done with it. The deal was get your homework done Friday night or early Saturday morning so it’s finished and not hanging around to interfere with our weekend. Things were going quite well.
Single parenting, if only for the weekend
We’re on our own for the next 5 days. The King is in Spain on business. It is interesting how the family dynamic changes when someone is absent. For us, it’s a bit of fun, a change in the routine.We eat easy meals. I get to choose the viewing AND hold the tv remote but for many it’s an everyday …

Tantrum? What tantrum?
When was the last time your kids had a full on tantrum? Can’t remember or was it this morning. Are you one of the lucky ones whose kids don’t do that? If you are, well done you, pat yourself on the back because it’s not luck, you’re doing something right. I don’t subscribe to them, don’t allow them and …
Fly away
In November last year the Princess moved back to Sydney, she had been living in New York with us since December 2007. She came just before her 18th birthday, which is Australia is the legal drinking age. So imagine her chagrin when she comes of age a month later only to have 3 more years to wait! However
Natural depression fighters
This article is probably going to be a little more personal than I would have hoped but I want to share the information I’ve learned and how it’s helped me. If I can help even one person, it’s worth it. I have come to the realisation that I have suffered for many years with mild depression. I had postpartum after …
Boys to Men
Grand Master D is in 6th grade and has started want to walk home with his friends after school. This is great. They are a good bunch of boys and they all live in a small block radius. He has an iPhone so I can check in with him if he’s getting a bit late.
