How Swimming Lessons Helped Me to Create a Laundry Routine

Kathleen2020-04-30T19:57:49+10:00

That’s right. My daughter’s swimming lesson helped me create a laundry routine. And to be honest, I never really had a habit of doing washing every day or with any regularity, let alone on a particular day of the week. I should also start this off by saying that I love doing the washing. I know, I know. Call me a freak, but it’s my favourite household chore. And I love it because it’s almost as simple as set-and-forget. I put everything in the washing machine, turn it on and do something else for about an hour. When the washing [...]

My IVF Regrets

Kathleen2020-04-13T15:03:18+10:00

IVF comes with a lot of things. And for me one of those is regret. While IVF can be amazing, it certainly is life-changing, regardless of the result. But, as I said, I have a few IVF regrets. Here's hoping you don't have the same regrets. I regret being ashamed of my infertility I’m sure I’m not alone in this. But I kind of took it personally when the infertility label was first slapped on me in 2015. And even more so when it changed to unexplained infertility. It’s just that. Unexplained. There is no reason for it. Mine and [...]

Why the time of day you exercise matters

If you are anything like me at the moment, you are (stuck) at home. And I am currently at home my husband, my 3-year-old and my mother in law. Between trying to work at home, entertain my daughter and keeping the house running as close to normal as possible, something was starting to give. My gym was closed. And it didn't have any online classes. But I knew I still needed to keep active. After all, the main reason I joined the gym was for my mental health. I've been going to yoga classes at my gym since I signed [...]

I love them so much I have them everywhere. Having multiple to-do lists means that I can keep my ideas in different places for different things. Important tasks, not so important but still need to be done and plans for the future. Why do lists work? Lists work because it helps tremendously to get the ideas out of your head. Once the items are out of your [...]

My 2020 Word of the Year

Kathleen2020-04-13T15:32:27+10:00

I did it in 2018 with great success. I did it again in 2019 with average success. And I'm doing it again in 2020. I've picked a word of the year. My 2020 word of the year is... Environment This year I want to focus on environment. And I've taken that to mean the physical environment of my house and the actual environment. I already know of a few ways I can improve this but I'd love to hear your suggestions. So far I have switched to more ethical and environmentally friendly versions of a few products. Ideally, I'd like to [...]
