An open letter to my son about International Women’s Day

March 5, 2021 By Tracey Leave a Comment

The other day I told you that it was soon going to be International Women’s Day. I should not have been surprised that your immediate response to this information was to ask when it was going to be International Kid’s Day, to which I hastily replied, ‘that would be every day.’ Pretty sure I saw…

My seven year old called me an idiot and I feel like I’m failing as a parent

February 16, 2021 By Tracey 1 Comment

Last week my sweet, kind, spirited and funny little boy called me an idiot. And I felt my heart crack. As he has grown from toddlerhood to boyhood we’ve had our standard supply of tantrums and meltdowns.  Typical and normal, a manifestation of big emotions, tiredness, hanger and expected patterns of behaviour for his age…

I turned 50 on the weekend. When I was young, 50 sounded old, an inconceivable time far into the future. Yet here I am, at a milestone because so far so good that I’ve made it to this point. #halfacentury I hadn’t really thought too much about it, age being just a number and there…

“I smell hand sanitiser”

June 24, 2020 By Tracey Leave a Comment

Walking through a national park, surrounded by nature and not the confines and walls of our own home, I sensed a shift and began to think that maybe we were nearing the end of the corona time warp.  Nothing like a pandemic to mess with ones sparkle. I’m not very good at being at one…

Lounge pants and other good things we need right now

April 17, 2020 By Tracey Leave a Comment

I wish I could be the type of person who had something truly profound to say. To be knowledgeable enough to speak with insight and wise enough to speak with reason. Amidst an ocean of content, information, graphs and curves there is already so much being said and much of it is not something I…
