Just left a family dinner thing with my girls because my Aussie uncle was being disgustingly racist.
I told him that what he was saying was absolutely unacceptable and I wouldn’t tolerate it.
Got my kids and left and said we are much better than this as a family.

Hey New Zealand tweeters who are thinking of having a whinge and grizzle tomorrow about the teacher strike...can you please just not.
Instead think about these incredible people who look after and teach our kids. Offer support instead of slagging them off.
Love a Mum of two.

Today I was asked to consider my “personal brand” and how I “would like to be perceived” by people.
I said “I stopped caring about what people thought about me years ago and I’m not going to start caring again now.”
Awkward silence set in instantly which was brilliant.

This random little bird joined us today for an hour today.
The bird I think must have been a techno DJ in a previous life as they loved the hammer and just wanted to sit on it.

My kid is having a hard time at school being ignored and issues with ‘friend groups’ voting girls in and out of the groups.
Fuck this sucks. She cries so hard. It reminds me of me at 13 and she’s 11.

have lost my personal locator beacon. And because a new one would be over $250 they won’t set up an insurance claim.
The irony isn’t lost on me. I need to log in and set it off right? It will scream for days until found or the battery goes flat but...it won’t be lost

Dear NZ teachers, if anyone gives you shit today ignore them.
You have my support.
I’ve tried to plan fun learning activities at home all day for my kids and it was a challenge. They are unlikely to be excited by my plan for the day. You do that every day for so many kids. ❤️

Today I’m enjoying three months of single life.
Since I was 18 I’ve bounced between relationships, with usually like a two weeks in between.
I set myself a goal to be single for at least a year. Feels so good that the only commitment I have now, is to myself and the girls.

Today has been total shit. It’s the first time ever I’ve found myself soul searching for my normal resilience and found it just wasn’t there. Just felt empty.
I’ve been reflecting on this and maybe the Covid and lockdown has drained more than I had considered.

My friend is struggling a lot with mental illness at the moment.
Last week I went and sat with her for a few hours. I went again today. She made it the week as she didn’t think she would.
I’m glad there’s a lot of advice available on how to support friends and yourself.

Years ago I got this for $5 from Farmers down from like $60 or something. It’s been my goal to fit in it and wear it to bed.
Just tried it on and now I’m wondering why I didn’t opt for something a lot sexier to try and tone to get into. 🤣 Still challenge completed.

In the Japanese culture there is a tradition called Kintsugi where they put beautiful broken things back together with gold.

Mum and Dad are 45 minutes drive from a supermarket.
Dad is out of smokes and has gone fencing all pissed off.
Mum was supposed to go to town to get Dad smokes. She didn’t.
Instead she found this kitten on the side of the road and picked it up and it’s now waiting for Dad.
