Hello! It’s me, typing on my laptop, using my phone data because the power is going to be out for a few hours due to the replacement of a power pole. We are just going with the strategy of hot spotting on devices until they die and trying not to open the fridge too much (although luckily the weather is quite cool). I am a bit bummed that I can’t do laundry on the one fine day we have forecast for the next week! But by the same token, I do have a legit excuse not to do laundry haha. I’ve been feeling the SAD lately (Seasonal Affective Disorder/Depression) and…

5 shows I’ve binge watched #4
I don’t know about you guys, but I am always thinking about what I am going to watch next on TV or on a streaming app. I mean, I do think about other things, but this is my lovely relaxation moment, you know? My favourite part of the evening is when the kids are in bed and I can snuggle up with Mr Unprepared and watch something in the quiet together. I know. Wild, right? I love so much that in 2019 we can CHOOSE what we want to watch at any given time. Remember the days when we had to try our luck with what was on like 5…

The last 6 shows/movies I’ve watched #3
My life is not very exciting at the moment. I mean, not by social butterfly standards. Like, I get excited if the builders next door take a day off. Or if the baby poops (she can sometimes go a few days between and that can make me nervous haha). Or if I get to fit in 15 minutes on the treadmill. I am at that point where an exciting weekend night means staying up past 9pm to finish off watching a movie! Notice that I said ‘finish off’. As in, the movie is still going to get started early, because I am not a wild animal, OK? Netflix and all…

The secret life of Jimmy Giggle?
pic Since having the Little Mister in my life, I have been exposed to the crazy world of children’s television programming. Never have I been haunted by so many catchy theme songs (read: annoying/earwormy) and high pitched character voices. I now know far more about these shows than I would even care to admit. You know that everything’s taking a downhill slide when you know more about the songs on Play School than what’s playing on the radio for the grown ups (if you’re me at least). If you’re an anti-TV parent, please look away now (after noting that the Little Mister’s TV diet is set at reasonable limits and…

Being alone. What does that mean to you?
Pic OK, so I know I’m getting old (oooh 29 this year – anyone reading this who is older than me may roll their eyes right *now*) when I start to watch shows on any of the (Australian) ABC channels that nobody has probably ever heard of. If they involve nature and British ‘celebrities’ (who I know nothing about), then I get bonus old person points. I don’t know why I think of it like that. I guess I figure if it’s something my parents would watch, I feel old because only a little while ago, these are the types of shows I would mock them for liking. What goes…

Bear Grylls – Hot or Not?
Look. At some point while hanging out with your girlfriends, the topic of Bear Grylls‘ levels of attractiveness is going to come up. Or is that just me and my friends? …Anyhow, the question is: Does he turn you on red hot *bow chicka wow wow*, or leave you cold *brrrr*? I personally can see both sides of the argument. Let me dissect this issue further for you: Bear Grylls is Hot Because: He has that Caveman Appeal. He takes us back to the days when the most important characteristics of a man were his survival instincts and his ability to hunt and gather. And nothing says hunter gatherer like…
