24.01.2022 My latest blog post - sorry its been so long!! Feel free to share this with someone who needs to know that things will get better xx
22.01.2022 Now ladies and gents, try not to swoon too hard. Id like to introduce you to my new man... I know right! God Im a lucky girl Too good to be true? So I might be new to the world of online dating and possibly not the brightest crayon in the box but seriously if the pictures are too perfect or he/she sounds amazing and is giving you the most amazing speel, you really should take it all with a pinch of salt. A wee bit of reversal google image soon proved that this was not t...he guy I was speaking to. Plus would a military spy for the Australian Air Force really be telling you that, ha ha whatever mate Seriously the world of online dating is full of weirdos with a smattering of normal women and guys - so if like me you find yourself in this crazy world, please be careful and remember that all that glitters is not gold! P.S. Sorry to Nicholas Harjo for sharing his picture!

20.01.2022 I just shared this to my business page but because its such a fab podcast I had to share it here. If you want to listen to other women talking about all the subjects we are probably to embarrassed to talk about, then this is the perfect podcast for you!. https://www.loulouandmo.com//what-to-listen-to-next-ladies

It doesnt have to be anything massive, just something that is purely for you - Ive just had a coffee with a girlfriend and that was the perfect way to fill up my cup after a stressful morning with the kids. If you missed the post here it is xx https://goodbyewife.com/f/refill-your-cup---self-care-ideas

19.01.2022 Time for another wise blog ....
18.01.2022 While I was working in my office yesterday I was listening to this podcast and it was all about how emotional labour makes women feel exhausted so I just had to share it. It resonated with me so much especially when I think back to my marriage. It made me realise that I wasn’t alone in feeling like I was the person responsible for all the emotional needs for every person in the household and that it can be so overwhelming at times. It hit a chord when the author behind the p...odcast described how many women feel like their role as the caregiver, social planner, shopper, cleaner, cook etc isn’t valued by their partner because they don’t actually see how much time and effort goes in to making sure everyone’s needs whether it be emotional or physical are met. It can be absolutely exhausting and often feels like it’s never ending. So this podcast is one for all the ladies out there who are feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or just feel like they have run out of energy after caring for everyone else. Grab yourself a cuppa, take a bit of time out and listen to this amazing podcast. https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/no-filter/id995159486

14.01.2022 I love this. My self care this weekend involved a cooking a big pot of immune boosting beef goulash and binge watching the first season of Game of Thrones. Whatever you have done this weekend, I hope it was a good one :)
14.01.2022 I saw this today and I just had to share as its so true.
12.01.2022 Just a little something to brighten your day...
11.01.2022 My newest blog post - for all the mums who feel guilty! https://goodbyewife.com/f/mothers-guilt-and-dating
11.01.2022 Dont you just love those days when you are rocking at life I was so smug this morning... got up early, house is sparkling, realised Im way more organised for my Market tomorrow than I thought, did the food shopping - geez I am on fire!! Then this lovely lady comes up to me in the third shop Ive been into to tell me Ive got my top on inside it!! Brilliant Alli ... EDIT - forgot to mention that this meant I had to try and subtley strip in the carpark to turn top inside out
08.01.2022 My self care for the day. All Ive wanted to do was get to the beach this week so this morning I prioritised my needs before anything else. We really do have the most amazing beaches in Perth. What are you doing for you today?
08.01.2022 I didn't realise until I started blogging, just how therepeutic it can be to write down your feelings and stories but boy does it help. So when one of my followers contacted me to ask if I would share her blog, how could I say no!. This one is for all of us who feel like we have lost part of ourselves along our journey - I hope it gives you all a bit of hope that you will find yourself again and thank you so much to anonymous for opening up to us.......... A Blog from an ano...nymous follower........ My mother and I were discussing knitting. Its something (one of the many things) she's great at. Me? Not so much. I can sew if I have to but, give me knitting needles and I've already lost. It's never been of interest to me. But my mum? Knitting, sewing, calligraphy, art work, gardening... her list of skills is endless. And it got me thinking... I haven't done much of anything in the last 20 years and now, with new found freedom and a love again for life, my bucket list runneth over. I was artsy; and crafty; and a little bit jammy, but a negative energy (and the constant reminder of the expense) stopped me proceeding and (eventually) enjoying. I was mother. That was my role. Anything that involved creativity, or time away from the house, or furthering myself was met with negativity. Met with 'child neglect' and 'selfishness'. The kids' father used to tell them I was the smartest person he knew... but, away from their ears, I was stupid; and lazy; and selfish. And wrong. So many times wrong. And now I'm in a relationship where I'm valued; I'm encouraged; I'm confidence-boosted; I'm listened to and, most importantly, I'm respected! Holy wow, that feeling beats any high! He makes me feel safe... Old habits die hard of course- Whenever I make a suggestion it's like I've thrown a grenade, and I brace myself for the impact; and you can bet your life I've rehearsed it in my head til I'm word perfect, so I know I'm being clear and concise and not sounding 'stupid'. Which btw, is a word that's now banned from this relationship. I used it one time too many to describe myself, and my boyfriend threw it out! So yes, I may never learn to knit but I can do anything else I damn well please... and I've got someone in my life now, who will actually allow me to (and probably join in! Lol) I might learn to paint, go back to college, ride a motorbike, travel abroad, write a book, or get all artsy and crafty again... The world is my lobster and it's no longer boiling me to death!

01.01.2022 Day 3 of my 4 week challenge #goditshot
01.01.2022 I just had to share this. So me and Miss L have decided to try and embrace the keto lifestyle for its Heath benefits. Day 1, I thought I would go and get my weight and BMI checked so I can keep track. Thought there might be something wrong when it said I was underweight. Oh Im also a 0.4m midget with a BMI of 4418!! Who says the scales dont lie!
01.01.2022 Saw this on Instagram this morning and had to pinch it. Im slowly learning to trust my instincts.
