Have you ever been mountain climbing? Unless you count the steep street I walk up every weekday to get the kids from school then it’s a “no” from me but just an hours drive from my home are the beautiful Glass House Mountains, that’s where the real mountain climbers go for a bit of action. [...]
Last night my husband and I had a cyber date. He sat on the bed with his laptop and I sat at the computer desk right next to the bed, we both logged into our Facebook accounts and the evenings entertainment began. He bought me cyber peanuts and I bought him cyber beer and [...]
Now follow me on this one, I got a phone call from my sister telling me that she had heard from Pat (my ex step fathers sister) that Eric (yep…he’s my ex step father) was in hospital with a perforated bowl and he was going into surgery. Not the best way to spend the Queens [...]

I have to say that my husband is a great father. When the girls were small he changed nappies, fed them, woke up during the night to care for them even if he started work early the next day. He plays with them, helps them with homework and currently he is staying in a job [...]
Don’t you hate it when your husband or wife forgets your wedding anniversary? Well what do you do if you BOTH forget? This happened to my husband and I just the other day. We were talking over dinner and somehow the subject of our wedding anniversary came up. We both agreed it’s in June but [...]
