Families R USS

Its Birthday Season at our House again! Its rolled around so quick & we will soon have a 5 & 7 year old!!!! That means firstly i have Children!  Therefore must be somewhat of an adult right!!! and that its 7 years iv been caring for little tippy toes plodding around the house & we have survived thus far! Wow i just first pumped to that one . Now our Loved ones would be able to tell you We/I just love any excuse to have a Party or Celebrate an occasion ! Its what we do! But every year i tell people ohhh next year we wont do Parties we are going to have a year off! Then by the time Birthday's roll around i end up doing yet another Party! Don't get me wrong i enjoy it ! I love planning things and also finding/creating things but the big thing is that gets me every single year and is my selling point = When our Children look back on there Childhood will they remember that awesome Barbie or Lego set we got them? Well maybe! But id like to...

Being Married to a Fifo (Fly in fly out) worker is not for everyone & a lot of people cringe & say they couldn't think of anything worse than being separated from there Partner for Periods of time . Being Married to a Fifo Miner works for us! Unlike most regular jobs working 5/ 6 days a week & just having a Day or two home on Weekends My Husband is fortunate in that he is on a lifestyle Roster & works week on week off! Well i say this but i cant recall the last time he was actually home for his week off. We usually loose most of his first & last day off in travel. Still thats 5days home & helping than your average Sat/Sun in "a lot" of other jobs! So im not complaining! It means Hubby gets to attend some School & Kindy Events, Disco's ,Cross Country's, Interviews, Parent evenings. The Children's Sport commitments which take up 4 days a week & many more important things. It means we cherish the time we hav...

For someone who is a huge believer in Shopping Locally & supporting Handmade i recently realised i have got to pick my game up a bit !!! I also am a big advocate for Clean Eating & Cleaning from the inside out !!! I hugely believe everything stems from the Gut & how critical it is for your Gut health to be good (but il save the rest of that for another day). What I'm saying is that i take so much care into what goes into my body that i need to look more into whats good for the outside = my skin . Now for years i have been buying supermarket Body-wash for our Children . A lot non fragranced but more often than not it ends up in the trolley fragranced & full of goodness knows what rubbish that if i had actually researched i am sure wouldn't serve to much purpose for the benefit of there skin. I have extremely Sensitive Skin like ridiculous its been a continual battle for my Whole life . I am even allergic to Insect Repellant! ...

I would like to think of myself as Fashion Savvy ! I am always aware of whats on Trend & whats HOT & well Whats NOT !!! Im a Budget Mumma who enjoys the Champagne Lifestyle !!! I love anything relating to Fashion & Styling  but the big thing is i am the biggest Budget Shopper !!!!! I always budget for things & always always have something on the cards I'm wanting or wanting to work towards getting for our Family.. Its so easy to rush out buy what you need at the nearest store & be done right ???? Wrong!  Sometimes having a quick check online can save literally Hundreds (Well on big purchase items anyway)by simply shopping around and not rushing out can be huge on savings. Every little bit adds up !! And trust me i LOVE to Shop!!!!! Something i have always done is only ever buy things on Sale !! Always!!! If its not on Sale or reduced unless i desperately require it i will not buy it. I can sit and wait Months for that item to com...

Being a Parent can be the ultimate juggling act!!! I say act because so many people from the outside can look as though they have there "shit" together Its a fabrication we are all struggling in our own way ! Me included.. Don't get me wrong i LOVE my LIFE & my Life's Blessings (My Children) but man it can be so hard juggling & getting the balance right ! Often i don't which in turn is where i end up burnt out! As a Mother i want my Girls to have everything & experience as much as possible so i try my best to cram as much into there lives as humanly possible but its a fine line between to much & just enough. Especially with a FIFO Daddy! The Stints he is on shift can be chaos unless i have my organisation down to a tee. Between Airport Runs,  School Runs & then racing to Kindergarten which both start at exactly the same time 3days a week + the extra Curricular activities - Swimming/Tennis, I am wanting to get the Girl...
