Feel-good fires
I love winter. Footy, hot chocolates, pies, fires, mud, my doona. And I really like the long weekend, y’know, the one that celebrates the Queen’s birthday. I don’t know if it’s actually the Queen’s real birthday… it seems a bit weird that she has her...
My best friend found a new best friend
You might remember that Maggie, who has lived next door to me forever, is my best friend. We learnt how to ride bikes together, we’ve built the most awesome cubbies together, we had a race to see who could lose their teeth first, we walked to school together for the...
Naplan – enough to make me vomit
*Ugh*. It’s NAPLAN time. And I hate tests. I get all weird in my stomach, twitchy in my legs and sweaty under the arms. And then my brain goes all dumb and blank and I can’t think straight. Nerves, I guess. Our teachers tell us NAPLAN is nothing to worry...

It really REALLY hurts when you stand on something sharp in bare feet. I know that sounds obvious, but unless you’ve done it lately, you won’t remember just how painful it is. I was down at the beach with mum on the long weekend and excited that it was a...Doing the dentist dance
Nobody much seems to like dentists. I wonder why anyone wants to become one? I think they go to uni forever too, just to learn how to create torture in people’s mouths…. I know I probably shouldn’t have that attitude towards dentists – that they’re...
Mrs Grouchy wasn’t so grouchy after all
I started back at school this week. Boy. It feels weird after such a long and great summer holiday. I really struggled to get up on Monday morning and Mum kept having to remind me about getting ready: ‘Clean your teeth. Brush your hair. Pack your hat.’ ...
