The Business Mums Conference is only a few days away now - it’s getting exciting :)  I can’t wait to meet everyone who is coming.

All by myself…

Well, not entirely, the boys are around…

My parents have gone on holiday to Darwin for 3 weeks, leaving the boys and I alone with the pets (2 dogs & 1 cat).  During this time, as well as general day to day tasks, we also need to get organised as we are moving!  Settlement is in 5 weeks time, but I’m not 100% sure when we are moving as the Business Mums Conference is in ...

Mummy Tasks

21 02 2007

Every WAHM knows there are certain "Mummy Tasks" that have to be done.  You know, those tasks you do in between running your business - washing, housework, lunches, changing nappies, etc.  Depending on how much you enjoy it, you could also include spending time with the kids in this.

I try and get certain Mummy Tasks done each day… but it doesn’t alway happen.  However, dinner does get made every day, well almost every day…  and ...



Woo Hoo! I see my ads…

3 02 2007

I know, I’m a sad puppy, getting excited about seeing ads for my own business, but I am.  It may have something to do with the fact I’m avoiding the housework, or simply trying to block out the sounds of my kids whining "I’m hungry".
