When your adventure-making friend invites you on a hike, the answer should always be YES!

Look what I would have missed… 🧡

In under 20 hours away from home, I got to experience all this…

• Moonlight hike
• Overnight camp
• Warmth (thanks to a fellow camper lighting the fire) and shelter at Bluff Spur Memorial Hut
• Moonlight setting behind Buller, moments before the sunrise at the summit of Stirling.

…plus a grateful heart, refreshed mind and renewed spirit 💫

There are always a million reasons to say no, but I highly recommend saying yes 💚

Thank you Fränzi Weiss for asking me ‘to play outside’ 😄. I am ready for the next adventure anytime xx

I have a treasured ritual of reading in bed with a coffee on a Sunday morning.

No alarm clock.
No place to be.
No lunchboxes or calls for socks.

Sadly Sundays do not come around very often.

I was recently reading ‘The Let Them Theory’ by when my 8 year old climbed onto the bed. We had a lovely chat and then I was keen to keep reading. Together we shared a few precious chapters of alternating reading out loud.

That night, my daughter asked if she could take the book to her bed? She added her own bookmark and off she went.

A few weeks later she was disappointed when I told her it was due back at the library for someone else. Soon after the girls were visiting the library. Whilst there she hunted down and retuned victorious with her own copy.

When asked by an older cousin, ‘What’s that book about?’, my daughter answered, ‘It’s ‘The Let Them Theory’. It’s about you can’t control what other people do. You can only control yourself.’

This simple message has already come in handy multiple times when parenting her. The content is relatable and easy to digest.

In fact one night at the dinner table, an older sister had a meltdown. 8 year old commented to me discreetly, ‘I could say something but she is already mad enough.’

Good thing it wasn’t Fourth Wing or ACOTAR 🤭

Wishing you all a week of Sundays 💚

I am embarrassed to admit that I have never watched an AFLW game.

In my defense, I typically only watch the AFL on Anzac Day and the Grand Final. Not because I don’t enjoy it, just because life is so full and I forget to put it on.

I am a committed Matildas supporter and as the mother of four daughters, I should have set a better example in supporting women’s sport.

Everything changed last week.

The AFL and Collingwood AFLW team came to visit. And boy did they put on a show. Fully immersing themselves in the community through the local schools, leading girls’ clinics, workshops, hosting Auskick, signings, plus training with the local women’s football and netball clubs.

What struck me during a Q&A session with local Grade 3 - Grade 6 students, was how humble they were.

They shared a consistent journey… Growing up they had to play footy with the boys or had to find other sports. In many cases it was the support and encouragement of their teachers and families that helped get them there. They were now doing what they loved and were grateful for the opportunity to ride the wins and losses as part of a team.

Big thank you to the AFL and Collingwood for activating such fantastic programs across our community. You have inspired on many levels. Whilst we already had a few magpies fans in the house, the love has grown deeper
🖤🤍

They also ride bikes! 🥰

Fixture has been saved… See you soon!

Mother’s Day couldn’t have come at a better time.

I have been at loggerheads with one of my daughters and could see no way out.

I realise I am the parent and need to rise above these things, but I am raising fiercely capable and independent young women. I know, I know… I created this.

Traditionally on special occasions, the girls wander down to our room with their handmade cards and gifts. This morning I was not sure how things would unfold…

It turned out to be one of my most precious parenting moments.

Despite my recent poor parenting (and her poor ‘childing’), I received a handmade card.

‘Don’t read it out loud.’

Heartfelt. Reflective. Honest. Compassionate. Brave.
She owned it too.
From ‘probably your least favourite daughter’.

I was in tears. My heart was swelling.

Equally as beautiful, another card from a different daughter saying that I was kind, ‘most of the time’ and that ‘there’s no way to be perfect but a million ways to be the best.’

If I can instil anything in my daughters it is definitely to show up as a real and authentic version of yourself. I am constantly reminding them that I am doing my best. Making mistakes is part of life, it’s what you do next that matters.

We climbed a mountain 💚
