Honestly, this month has been pure torture for my family. We went through a serious bout of RSV, felt okay for a few days and now we’ve been knocked out with gastro. My husband is diabetic, so we’ve had to be incredibly careful with him with gastro and we’ve been to the hospital and bed-ridden… Continue reading NaNoWriMo: When Nothing Goes To Plan

I handed in my last assignment on the 14th of October so I am done and dusted! It's been a whirlwind semester. Starting a Master's with a baby is rough.

"We're on a bloody train." "We're at home," I snapped back. "Calm down." "Open your eyes numbnut! We're on a bloody train!" I groaned… Continue reading Escape From WhiteHaven Line: A Short Story
The sun has set, night comes again,moonlight now floods my room.I'm at peace snuggled in my bed,cosy in my bedroom. Candlelight flickers and dancesoff the walls beside me.I wrap the doona around meslowly sipping my tea. My window slightly cracked ajar,cool air brushes my skin.Cold winter breeze relaxes me,my happy days begin. I breathe a… Continue reading Introverted Comforts: A Poem
I stared up at the glowing board, carefully doing the math in my head. 2pm boarding. Diaper change at 1:45. Get milk ready on plane. When is he supposed to nap? Will he even sleep in the air? My husband glanced over at me, concern etched into his eyebrows. I could feel my leg jigging… Continue reading A Different Trip: A Short Story
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. I stared out my window, unable to pull my eyes from the sight. A candle was burning, there was no mistake about that. My family and I lived within view of the old, abandoned cabin. Despite… Continue reading Return To The Abyss: A Short Story
