Things I am totally awesome at.


Whenever I'm feeling a bit down in the dumps, I like to do what the life coaches tell you, and run through a mental list of all the things I am TOTALLY AWESOME AT just to give myself a little boost.

- I'm really fantastic at devising arts and crafts activities for kids and I've even written a book about it called "Keep calm and carry on glitter glueing!"

P indulging in a bit of hardcore arts and crafts.  Actually this wasn't at my house.  Damn.

- I'm also rather an expert at coming up with awesomely creative ideas for kids meals, and it just so happens I've written a book on this topic too, called " Shut up and eat your chicken nuggets!"
B tasting some of my home made delights.  See the joy in his face? Warms the cockles of your heart...

- I've got a real natural talent for home organisation and interior design, and am regularly asked for advice from television show Better Homes and Gardens, and Martha Stewart even follows me on Twitter. I was the one who came up with those wedding pompom crepe paper bizzos everyone makes! I know, she totally owes me.

Martha is totally interested in collaborating with me on the above interior concept. I like to call it "All of the crap covering all of the bench".

- I have really superior willpower when it comes to junkfood. I've actually never eaten sugar in my life, generally preferring to snack on spirulina smoothies made with spinach, cacao, coconut water, wheat germ and other healthy shit.


As you can see my diet is hardcore vegan.


- I am really calm and relaxed all the time and have a positive approach to life. I meditate regularly and am often asked to talk to school groups about techniques for stress management , including crying, panicking, yelling, crying some more and rocking backwards and forwards in the foetal position. Works for me.

Me behaving maturely and calmly.


Looking on the bright side.


Coping with stress and extreme heat in a totally relaxed and positive way.


Going to my happy place.  Not at all sleep deprived and mental.

- I have finely tuned financial management skills. I invested the very first dollar I ever earned and the compound interest has really paid off. Now I have enough money to buy a small island of my own!

Me freestyling it real estate investment wise.

- I am very fit and passionate about sport of every description. This summer I am planning to participate in a triathalon, continue with my coaching at Little Athletics and will also be appearing at my very first body building meet! In preparation I will be eating nothing but tinned tuna and protein shakes with the occasional bowl of boiled rice. I've even designed my very own string bikini for the event, and had my tracksuit stencilled with my motto
"Go hard or go home and have a Gin and Tonic".

Just doing some training wearing highly appropriate exercise gear and shorts that are not too revealing of chubby white legs at all.


Just going hardcore off-road cross country style wearing similar appropriate attire.  I'm a slave to fitness I tell you.

- Last but not least, I am always being invited to glamorous social events where I'm inevitably the life and soul of the party and always dressed to the nines in the latest fashions.


Don't ask.

So much to live for! If I didn't have such a large entourage already vying for my attention, I'd totally want to be my own best friend too!

Linking up with Grace for FYBF!!
