Ten years younger in 4 weeks? Sounds great to me! I heard about the #OlayRegenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream by @olayau on TV the other night (morning?!) and had to try it. One week in and I'm already seeing results. My skin looks less fatigued and much more fresh. #OlayAU #DNAorOLAY #Collab

That feeling when you just know in your heart of hearts you’re done having babies. I mean, I wouldn’t actually know personally but..... I suspect it’s when you see a squish newborn and have no clucks to give. Don’t panic. I still get clucky but now I’m saving all my clucks for my future grandchildren. They better come through. 💕 Do you know you’re done? 🙅‍♀️ #zeroclucksgiven #howdidyouknow #youjustknow #contentment #largefamilies #bigfamily #heapsofkids #fourtoadore

This, friends, is the face of a well-rested toddler! Bit of a foreign sight, to me, in all honesty. He’s got that chesty cough that they seem to get every three weeks at daycare that keeps everyone up all night. Can I get an “mmm-hmmm”? 🙄 because you know the one. Anyway, at 12.30 AM I called for a “shift change” (made the husband get up), and decided to move my @dyson #dysonhotandcool #link into the bedroom. I woke up at 6.30!!!! This child has NEVER slept through the night, guys!!! Coincidence? Miracle? I’m not sure, but you can bet I’ll be keeping it in the room tonight! #dysonlink #mumcentral #dyson #technology #airpurifier #queensland #airquality

Nothing makes me happier as a mum than to enjoy a meal with these ones. Family time is so precious and often in our busy days of school, soccer, ballet and work, dinner is the one moment we pause, touch base and connect. One of our favourite meals to share is gluten-free lasagne with @sanremopasta and fresh salad. Comfort food 🥘 and quality time 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 are what it’s really all about. #wearefamily #sanremopasta #pasta #internationaldayoffamilies #ad #foodie #food #eat #familytime

Mother’s Day lunch with my special four. I always wanted four kids, from when I was about 12. I found a letter in my grade 7 keepsake folder last month when mum was moving. It was addressed to myself, and was an assignment. I said I wanted to be a runway model, then a mum of four kids, and a teacher. Didn’t mention a cute husband but I got him anyway #bonus So much to be grateful in this life, truly #livingthedream . I didn’t use my grade seven baby names though- I wanted two boys, James and Tyler, and two girls, Bonnie and Britney (😂😂😂). #goals #lifegoals #grade7goals #tick #smashit #babynames #mum #mothersday #rainbowbabies #fertility #blessings #milkandlovemum

You can’t win ‘em all? You can’t win AT all, some days. Let me preface this by saying I LOVE my job. It’s the best. But some days being a working parent is a lose/lose situation. I had decided to go to after work drinks at the local pub. I hardly ever do work socials but this one was different, important. I even wore earrings and actually did my hair today. #getoutoftown #effort Dropping my younger two off at daycare this morning, I noticed a sign had been placed on the door since Tuesday, when I last worked. Mother’s Day afternoon tea. Friday 2.30. Ah, k. I I can make this work, I thought. LOL! 😂😂😂😂 Good one. I obvs got to daycare after 3pm because I’m a teacher and despite misled public sentiment I’ve read on Facebook of late, we don’t get to take off whenever. Leaving on the bell is practically unheard of. Made it there at 3.05, two older sons in tow. Handful of mothers standing in the playground, beside table of half-eaten fly-garnished cupcakes and fairy bread. “You’ve missed the songs and gifts” said a carer I’ve never seen before in my life. Le sigh. Baby was happy to see me, anyway. He misses me/my boobs when I’m at work. Four year old runs over “ALL the other mudders were here, mum”. Gawd. There were seriously five or six mums. “I’m here now, bub, we will celebrate on Sunday, ok? I had students with me at school.” Apology accepted. Husband was due to meet me to swap cars and kids so I could go on to drinks. My patience grew thin as the in-vehicle snack supply dwindled and the Friday whine-fest kicked off. Thirty minutes later, the toddler was probably due for a breastfeed soon so I decided to forfeit the whole exercise and drive home. Husband had been caught up at work because #teacherlife , we don’t work 9-3. Some days I kick butt at career and kids. Some days I’m a hot mess, who lets down everyone in her path and can only be 50% of the mum and 50% of the colleague/friend/wife/daughter/everything else I want to be. Super excited for Mother’s Day afternoon tea 2019, I’m making myself a save the date. Have a beautiful weekend, mums. Go easy on yourselves. I’m trying to as well. 💕💕 #loselose #teacher #mum
