The Mummy & The Minx Book Club!
In the new year we will be kicking off a little Book Club. We were once avid book club members in a past life, but then lots and lots of babies happened, and it all just sort of stopped.
Please do not forget that the world is an amazing and beautiful place
I got home from the park an hour ago to find my newsfeed bombarded with information on the siege that is underway in Sydney. The media is giving it rolling coverage on the TV. There is click bait all over Facebook. What is going on down there at the moment is highly disturbing.

May Family Parenting Adventures: The Sleep Edition
I am quietly convinced that I will never, ever, ever again get a good night’s sleep. This is why.

Reflection funnies
As a part of reflecting this month, I started to think about some of the funny things that have happened over the last little while. I hope they give you a chuckle too.
