Tanya’s Blessingway

Today we had a blessingway (which is similar to a baby shower but is designed to honour the mother rather than bringing gifts for the baby) for Tanya at Sophies house (a place which I think is heaven on earth!). We had a morning tea, painted Tanyas belly with henna and made her a beaded [...]

Wifeypoo Syndrome

This morning I looked long and hard at myself in the mirror and thought, “Shereen, if your twenty-year-old self could look at your thirty-year-old self, I think she would be quite impressed!  You are university qualified, co-owner of two businesses, happily married to a fantastic guy, three wonderful kids, with an exciting freelance career poised [...]

Happy Birthday Mum!

Happy Birthday Mum- I am thinking about you today.  I have great memories of special birthday dinners wearing silly hats, with streamers, cake and party poppers.  I know I might have rolled my eyes and complained that I was 29 for gods sake!  But I loved it.  Thanks for always making things fun.  I really miss you. xxx

Introducing Shereen Bradshaw

Last night, whilst Roger and I were tidying up the house after dinner, we got into a discussion about how one day I would really love to write a book.  Now, at this stage, I don’t have any particular topic in mind, preferring a more spontaneous approach to writing, currently writing for my own amusement- [...]

I am officially old.

I have always considered myself a pretty hip and happenin’ chick.  One defining factor is that I love love love heavier music.  System of a Down, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Metallica…… no pop rubbish for me.  Pfffft. 
If I was ever lucky enough to hear one of my faves played on the radio, my heart would skip, I [...]

Class of 94 Dinner at the Como

A couple of weeks ago a group of us from John Wollaston Class of 94 got together.  Thanks to the wonders of Facebook, we all managed to catch up at The Como- it was a blast from the past, and I can’t believe that some of us haven’t seen each other for fifteen years!  It really doesn’t [...]

Jonathan and Lucas

Jonathan got together with his friend Lucas the other day for a play. It was so nice to see the two boys enjoy each others company so much. Lucas, who is the sweetest, most gentle little boy I have ever met really came out of his shell, and Jonathan who is a little more…er….boisterous/spirited…. was [...]
