Public service announcement. You will never regret Public service announcement. You will never regret a swim.
There’s a line in ‘Grace’, from her best fri There’s a line in ‘Grace’, from her best friend Petra where she talks about buying the ingredients for a green curry she can safely make after 4 gin and tonics, so she’s confident being able to make it in the badlands of sleep deprivation. That’s kind of how I feel about the Salmon with tandoori lentils from ‘Cut the carbs’ aka dinner tonight. It’s not newborns, but three year olds with croup that’s robbing us over here. Fingers crossed for a few more zzzs tonight. 🤞
Ah, Instagram parenting. Some bits of my days with Ah, Instagram parenting. Some bits of my days with my daughter are like this; squidgy with love and dough sweet. And others start with fury at 3 am, leaving you flint-raw by 10 am. Babies are hard. Toddlers are hard. Three year olds are hard (and they are definitely my parenting kryptonite). It can all be hard - and a lack of sleep makes everything so much grittier. Cutting corners today, firmly believing that childcare is self care. The ability to just work can seem like a holiday 😂😍 Sending so much love to those overseas who no longer have that option available to them.
Hello Saturday mornings. I do not do Saturday morn Hello Saturday mornings. I do not do Saturday morning swimming lessons (the sodden octopus wrangle of parents and children in and out of swimmers very quickly lost its allure). We also don’t do Saturday morning sport (I estimate we have at least another 13 years of standing on the side of soccer and netball fields ahead of us- I feel no urge to leap on that train). Since lockdown I have instituted ‘lazy Saturday mornings’ for me and the kids and it is very, very good for collective morale. I triple-park myself with beverages (smoothie, tea and coffee), they get unfettered access to ‘Bluey’ and I go back to bed and a book or some writing (Bliss? 😍). (I usually end up with one or two of them back in here with me). Hoping your Saturdays are equally as kind.

Here’s the cover, with the most delightful image Here’s the cover, with the most delightful imagery by @common_wild - not seen is the back, with delicious comedic carnage of life in a kitchen with children. And here’s a taste of the first page. www.facebook.com/BeachesMums Because (local) Mums know best. Members: 20, 168 Dear local mums, In the spirit of group therapy; what’s the grimmest thing you’ve done in the swamplands of sleep deprivation? Was it; a) Accidentally deleted nine months of work. b)Tried to brush your teeth with a razor smothered in toothpaste. c) Reversed a car over your child. d) Torched your marriage. e) Lost your mind. f) All of the above. Things might look shiny on social media. But I have just one thing to ask of you. Please, please, don’t be me. Grace Harkness’ I have three free advance reader copies of Grace to give away- if you fancy a literary escape to the northern beaches of Sydney and entertaining the fantasy of starting a commune with some of your best friends, just tag two of them below. Also please feel free to share the most bonkers thing you have done while sleep deprived. (The book is fiction, but the toothpaste razor is all true 😬) ‘Grace Under Pressure’ due with @simonschusterau , March 3, 2021’
Looks fancy for a Monday night for two, but is dec Looks fancy for a Monday night for two, but is deceptively hands off. Five hour lamb shoulder with swede and fennel thrown in for the last two, drained tin of white beans, olives and pickled onion to serve. Some for us, some for leftover salads and some of the less seasoned bits to be made into baby food for one in the village that I cannot wait to squeeze tmrw afternoon after a long year. A week of soaring highs (who hasn’t wept tears of relief and joy watching the Sister Act 2 rendition of ‘oh happy day’ with the provisional ballots subtitles?) Also have been riding a rocky road of a wilful three year old who is DEFINITELY punishing her mum for daring to go away to work/respite for a few days last week. Sorry/not sorry muffin. I love you more than breath and for nearly four years you’ve had so much of me. (Remember all those months when you would only sleep on my face?) But I also love me. One day I know you will understand. Also, if you haven’t picked up a copy of Ceridwen Dovey’s #lifeaftertruth yet, you’re missing out. Hope all is well with you my friends x
Happy publication day #CeridwenDovey ! I can’t t Happy publication day #CeridwenDovey ! I can’t tell you how much I a) love this book - from its sly wisdom, opportunity for Harvard rubber necking, cutting asides, rollicking plot and delicious word choices b) get to have you here as my partner in crime (smuggled red wine and all) for a scorpio’s writing retreat. Hurrah for smart women. May we know them and celebrate them. #lifeaftertruth
Home for the next few days. Happy birthday to me ( Home for the next few days. Happy birthday to me (thanks to the spouse). Ask any mother this year what she wants, and it will probably be; ‘care for me’. As in literally, ‘please do the caring for me’ so she can turn to herself. I’ll be offline for a bit, doing some yoga, sleeping uninterrupted, trying to fix my wayward thyroid and working on this second book. x
