2017 Reading Challenge

January 1 2017 By melbournemamma 5 Comments

2017 reading challenge

 

Calling all book lovers!

 

I’m setting myself a reading challenge for 2017 and I’d love for you to join me.

 

I know what it’s like to be a busy mum (ie not have much time for reading), so I’ll only include 12 books in the challenge. However, I’ll include an additional six books for those of you who will have no problem smashing through 12 books in one year. …

Today I am Thankful

Today I am Thankful.

Thankful for having a wonderful husband.
Thankful for having two incredible children (my miracles).
Thankful for having amazing family and friends.
Thankful for living in the greatest city in the world.
Thankful for doing something I love.
Thankful for being alive.

 

Never, ever, take anything in life for granted. Be thankful for what you have and enjoy life every day.

 

12 years ago today, I was almost killed in an accident. Since then, not a day goes by that I don’t think about how different things could have been.

52-Week Money Saving Challenge

January 3 2014 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

There’s no hiding it – I am hopeless at saving money!

 

I think it’s part of being a shopaholic – I save a little, I spend alot.

 

money

When I set myself a long-term saving goal, something else ALWAYS comes along that I NEED the money for.

 

So, this year I am setting myself a challenge!

 

I am going to save almost $1,400 this year with a simple 52-week money saving plan. …

Happy New Year!

January 1 2014 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

Happy New Year everyone!

 

I can’t believe 2014 is already here. I feel like 2013 came and went in a flash.

 

One day I was wiping away the tears as my daughter started her first day at school and the next I was wiping away her tears (& some of my own) as she said goodbye to her prep teacher and began her transition for Grade 1 this year.

 

There’s lots of exciting things planned for Melbourne Mamma this year, including some changes here on the blog and two more FANTASTIC Melbourne Mamma’s Markets. The first is on Sunday, 2 March in East Malvern and I can’t wait to share the details with you.

 

Thanks to everyone who supported Melbourne Mamma during 2013 and an extra thank you to everyone who has been supporting my “Shop Local” campaign. Stay tuned for some more initiatives during the year.

11 days down, Influenza A still lingering… but com 11 days down, Influenza A still lingering… but comfort food is doing its thing 😊

Crispy tofu bánh mì + a raspberry cordial = the small joys getting me through recovery.

Not fancy. Just comforting. And honestly, exactly what I needed 🥖❤️

Just finished Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConag Just finished Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy and… Wow!!!
What. A. Ride. 📚

From the very first chapter, I was hooked. And the twists? I did not see them coming.

Charlotte McConaghy proves once again why Australian authors are absolutely unmatched when it comes to vivid storytelling and emotional punch 🇦🇺📚

It’s beautifully written, deeply moving, and completely unputdownable.
Highly, highly recommend! 

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Have you read it yet? Let’s chat 👇

“Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world’s largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers. But with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants, packing up the seeds before they are transported to safer ground.

Despite the wild beauty of life here, isolation has taken its toll on the Salts. Raff, 18 and suffering his first heartbreak, can only find relief at his punching bag; Fen, 17, has started spending her nights on the beach among the seals; 9-year-old Orly, obsessed with botany, fears the loss of his beloved natural world; and Dominic can’t stop turning back towards the past, and the loss that drove the family to Shearwater in the first place.

Then, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman washes up on shore. As the Salts nurse the woman, Rowan, back to life, their suspicion gives way to affection, and they finally begin to feel like a family again. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting her heart, begins to fall for the Salts, too. But Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers the sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realises Dominic is keeping his own dark secrets.”
