January: This month I’m…
Re-watching Breaking Bad Yeah Bitch! Re-living the misadventures of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman is quite literally giving me life, and getting the kids up to bed in the evening faster than you can say Heisenberg. And although melting bodies in bathtubs isn’t exactly my thing, I just cannot get enough of the drama, the…

Tales from 36,000ft
Recently, I reached out to my former colleagues in the hopes of gaining inspiration for a recent blog post – 10 Things Cabin Crew Hate to be Asked. And, typical of cabin crew – they generously provided me with more than enough information, and then some. But what also happened was that they began sharing…

10 Questions Cabin Crew Hate
Image: Rachel Coyne, Unsplash. Looking back at my time flying, I tend to get rather emotional. I miss the camaraderie between crew, the weekly flights to the States, my yoga class in New York and walk around Central Park afterward. I miss the sales in Macy’s and my morning stroll after brekkie along The…

Super Quick Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce
We’ve all been there. Not at all arsed to drag such arses to Aldi for the weekly torture (shop). Convincing ourselves “Ah, there’s enough in to scrape a dinner together this week” (No need for the valium…) But then inevitibly (because we’re moms, not magicians) we go to the press on a Thursday afternoon in…

Halloween in recent times…

7 Things I’d Rather do than Homeschool again.
We all remember lockdown the first time around. Tiger King. Tik Tok (…and I’m bored in the house bored in the house bored…) , House party. Zoom Quiz nights. No family, or friends, or hugs. Leo Varadkar was the hero du jour and Aldi became the local hotspot. Joe Wicks whipped us all into shape…

10 Crew Members you’ll meet on your layover
Flying all over the world certainly has its’ perks. You have unlimited travel, you can be in a different city every week, get to know a different culture and of course, take advantage of all the sales in the states! But after the novelty wears off, crew members begin to settle into a routine –…

Eating for Energy
Right, That’s it! I’ve ignored it for long enough now and it’s starting to show. I’ve let my healthy eating slip from my tight, controlling grasp. In favour of convenience, I have been reaching for “healthy snacks” rather than proper meals. A slice (or three) of pizza here and there, and (the ultimate sin..!) skipping…

My 10 year old bottle of Champagne
Hubster and I have just celebrated our 10 year Anniversary (Thank you, thank you…) Just to be clear that’s 10 years of marriage, not anything fun… And we did celebrate. Had a lovely night away at a beautiful spa hotel without the kids. Treatments, thermal spa, dinner, drinks, the works. It all went far too…
