Well, after 6,349 days, the summer school holidays in Australia are OVER. It’s been fun but also tiring. I’m so ready for routine. Stay tuned in 3 weeks when I start moaning about early mornings, lunchboxes, homework and the rigidity of routine that I need to break free from. 🤷‍♀️

I’m on day “hiding in the toilet with the door locked and dissociating” of a 10-day solo parenting stint.

It’s totally possible to do The Artist’s Way as a parent. You just have to modify your Artist Dates a teeensy bit…

This week’s Substack is about that time (last week) when I went on a never-ending domestic side-quest. Has this happened to you?

It took me four freaking hours to make chicken parmigiana
Has this ever happened to you?

I’m over a decade late to the party, but I’ve started watching #Veep. Omg the dialogue 🤣👏 Saving this one up for an appropriate moment:

“That’s like trying to use a croissant as a dildo. It doesn’t do that job and it makes a fucking mess.”

After years of shielding them from it, my kids have just discovered the film Yes Day ⚰️ 💀

Happy New Year! 🥳 No resolutions - just a few fewer fucks for 2025.

#newyear
A few fucks I hope to stop giving in 2025
Even one less fuck would be fantastic

New Year's Eve as a parent is mostly telling our kids to dream big while we lie unshowered and bloated on couches we fall asleep on by 9pm.

After years of hosting Christmas lunch, we said FUCK NO this year.
I finally hacked Christmas and you can too!
Join me on a joyful journey of festive outsourcing.
