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.

B-DAY Today!

July 4 2013 By melbournemamma 3 Comments

Today was B-DAY!

No, not my birthday (that was two weeks ago). It was time for another dose of Botox to treat my migraines.

For the past 21 months, I have been having Botox injected in to my head, neck and shoulder to help control my migraines. Every 12 weeks, I visit my Neurologist and he stabs me approximately 40 times with a syringe full of Botox.

The migraines are the result of an accident I had 11 years ago.

Although the treatment isn’t working as well as I hoped it would, I have gone from having migraines 3-5 days every week (yes, every single week, since 2002) to only 1 or 2 a week. This may not sound that good to you but believe me,  it’s much better than before.

It’s hard being mum to two small children and always being sick. My daughter used to ask what was wrong with me when I didn’t have a migraine (which broke my heart).

Sometimes I feel like my kids miss out on doing things because of my condition, and it makes me feel guilty. They are such great kids and they always TRY to be on their very best behaviour when they know mummy is sick.

I am eternally thankful for the support of my husband, family and friends, who are there for me when I’m struggling.

You can read more about my treatments here.

After 10 weeks out with a pelvic fracture, it was After 10 weeks out with a pelvic fracture, it was amazing to see my boy back on the court last night doing what he loves. Your dedication to rehab and the patience you’ve shown have truly paid off. I’m so proud of you - 16 pts and 13 reb (+ a blood nose 🤧🩸) is an incredible return! Can’t wait to see what the rest of the season brings 💪🏻🖤❤️🏀

The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride follows 100-year-old Murray and 10-year-old Jason, a terminally ill boy, as they form an unlikely friendship and work through Jason’s five wishes. Their bond is so heartwarming and shows how connection can shape and change lives.
