Oh the ups and downs of life right? I’m not an expert, but wanted to share my experiences and hope it’s helpful for you. Kristy (the founder of The Imperfect Mum) has put some good boundaries in place over the years to protect us while serving on The Imperfect Mum. For those who have been with us for a long time, you may have noticed these. We no longer post questions late in the night, we have...

When I told people I was travelling overseas, some people actually asked ‘How?’ We’ve been a family with one wage and 6 mouths to feed and a clanking washing machine that really needs replacing for much longer than the neighbours would like…. How can Kelly afford to go anywhere?? More importantly - How can I do the same?? And so, here’s how you too can go across the world! Step one: Create an...

Sporty mums. Tech head mums. CEO mums. Designer mums. We met A LOT of people when the Vibe Israel Mommies toured in September – but I totally love mums and how they seem to run the world with the next generation watching. I wish I could include all the mums we met, but to save you time, here are my top 10! (not including the 4 international bloggers I met there! Love you guys!) I’ve included...

Since the Vibe Israel Mommies tour - I've dreamed of returning with my family to Israel and the places we would visit. If that happens - these 5 places would be on our to do list for sure! Which ones would you take your family to? 1. A Kibbutz Israel have these amazing little communities, called a Kibbutz, who make their own produce and live off the land - and often sell the products they make...

It’s been 4 months since my trip to Israel – so here are the commonly asked questions when I told people that I’m going / I went. Thanks again to Vibe Israel for having me! Much apprecaited! What you're doing for your country is amazing! Is it safe? I felt safe the entire 2 weeks I was in Israel. Honestly! Even with my adventurist nature which found me walking past gravesites at 9pm or having to...

I feel a tad guilty in writing on this subject instead of sharing about Israel – but the truth is I couldn’t have done Israel if it were not for this subject! Israel has taught me SO much about myself though – one of those being is that it is ok to blog! For so long, I’ve had a fear of wasting your time. But perhaps, if I have something valuable to offer and you walk away from reading this making...

This has been one of my favourite lines recently, and although seems bitter at first, I think when properly used, is a key to freedom. When I first became a SAHM and my hubby returned home from work and expected a clean house, he was often disappointed. This then would put me ‘in the negative’ before we’d even had a chance to greet each other. I do this with my children too. When I expect 100%...

Sometimes we mums are our own worst enemy… I’m beating myself up at the moment, without any help from anyone else! (So talented right?) *rolls eyes* I was catching up with a couple of beautiful mums this morning – we had a bunch of kids between us all who were happily playing in the playground while we spoke. One of the children came up to her mum, with the usual “I’m hungry” complaint, and the...

So, as most of you would of seen from my status last week – Kristy gave me the absolute privilege to have a ‘make over’ Firstly, thank you SO much Kristy for choosing me! I still laugh as I recall your phone-call about how I’m the perfect candidate, but not cause I need it, but because I spend so much time on the kids, but not that it shows, but I’m always putting others first, but…but… ha ha...

It’s been an emotional rollercoaster of a week for me – coming to a real climax today… Last weekend, I was blessed to be in Melbourne for a book release. It was my first time flying to Melbourne and the time spent with family was precious. The book that was released is titled ‘Heartbreakingly Beautiful’ which is the perfect description! It is ’52 week devotional journey of hope, inspired by the...
