In Limbo

Ever had a cancelled flight? A long layover? A 20+ hour journey home? As you sit on the hard bench with the “ding-dong” sound of flight numbers being announced and passengers who are MIA, you watch the clock tick. The hands move slowly, too slowly. You might wander aimlessly though the shops, picking… [Continue Reading]
Oh Twoodles!

I can’t believe that you are no longer my baby. Although I’ve known it for a while, it’s now staring me in the face as you clock over to 2! So much has happened since that Wednesday morning two years ago. We had spent the weekend before wondering whether you’d make an appearance,… [Continue Reading]
Refining in the Fire

If you’re anything like me, I love a good “heartstring-tugging” story. It’s a good one if it taps into my emotions and maybe makes me cry a little. Why? Because it’s how life goes. I can relate. I can engage. I can empathise. When I write, I get more feedback on posts… [Continue Reading]
Family Valentine’s Ideas

I am a sucker for fun things to do with my family! I love having a plan. I love spoiling people. I love gifting people with surprises, experiences and gifts. So, naturally, a day to spoil is right up my alley! It may be commercialised. Yes, I should show my family love everyday. But… [Continue Reading]
Free Valentine’s Dates

I love any excuse to celebrate! I love birthdays. I love Christmas. I love gifts. It’s consistently been one of my top two love languages. Valentine’s Day, although never celebrated by my family, has been something I’ve loved celebrating. I love all things flowers, roses, chocolates and hearts. I loved Valentine’s civvies days (who… [Continue Reading]
Diary of a Parent

Feeling all the feels this week! Monday Two more sleeps until Older goes to school. Like every parent, I can’t believe that this day is upon us so quickly. I have mixed emotions. For a long time I’ve wanted to be the parent. I stood at my classroom door watching parents bring their… [Continue Reading]
From a Teacher to Parents

The first day of school is exciting but can also be hard for everyone. Parents have to swallow the fact that their kiddies are growing up. Teachers have to teach all the rules again and get to know a new set of kids and, believe it or not, we’re not all extroverts, so meeting… [Continue Reading]
Tips for Blog Planning

Isn’t it wonderful that anyone can write these days? No aspiring writer has to hope that their thoughts will be considered worthwhile enough to be published. Anyone can create a WordPress account and tap out their musings in their little space on the Internet for others to read. I have always wanted to… [Continue Reading]
The Truth: Where I Am

2020. The year many of us are glad to see the back of. The year that no one alive will ever forget. The year that, if you had told us in 2019, we wouldn’t see anyone smile in public again or that we wouldn’t be allowed to gather together, we would’ve thought you were… [Continue Reading]
Be The Light, Mommy

It’s one thing to talk the talk. It’s another to walk the walk. Every mother has good intentions to be the best mother to her children that she possibly can be. But when the cereal hits the ceiling, it reveals our hearts and who we truly are, not just as a mother, but as… [Continue Reading]

The Face Under the Hats

Glad you’re here! I’m Kate. I am not super woman (although I'd like to be!) nor am I a Pinterest-perfect queen with a creative eye, who has cute printables and an immaculate home! I’m just a regular woman nearing 30 who loves to write. You'll find my messy and honest thoughts on the expectations that drown us as women to multi-task - be a wife, mom, friend, mentor, and house keeper! And, aiming to do it all well and not just fall over the finish line in pure exhaustion at the end of the day is enough to put anyone in a mad house! So this is just a bit of how I try (and fail regularly!) to wear all the hats!
