Tick Tick Tick…. Where does time go? By Vicky Dal Molin


So it’s been quite a while since I last wrote and for that I feel extremely slack and take full responsibility for. I just cannot believe how much time has passed by without me realizing. I kept putting off and putting off finishing my blog each week and now we ...

Flea Market Fun and Making Memories by Melissa Swedoski


When I became at first-time mom at 40, I wondered if I had the stamina to keep up with a little one. Even though there were (and still are) many sleep deprived days, I think we've done a good job keeping up with our girls. And the best part, we're ...

Political Correctness to the Nth Degree by Vicky Dal Molin


Easter weekend just passed us by and it made me so much more aware than usual of the differences between life here in the USA and back home in Australia. While I was listening to family and friends recount how they were spending their extra long weekend (4 days off ...

GUEST BLOG POST: Working from Home: Struggling and Juggling Your Way to Success — or at Least Acceptance by Andrea Crisp


In a perfect world, I would light a lavender-scented candle, pour a steaming cup of cream-dolloped coffee, get comfy in my ergonomically-correct chair, and attain a perfect Zen state of mind as the words flow from my mind and through my fingers, making magic happen on my Word document. But ...

When did it become ok to bully others? – By Vicky Dal Molin


I’m coming off a weekend where I had to watch my usually healthy and happy son be completely miserable…. And it was all as a result of my decision to agree to my son having his 18 month immunisations. From the minute I was pregnant it became apparent that the vaccine ...
