With two school-aged boys, a husband, a part-time job and a partially-completed degree, this Canadian/Australian knows how busy life can be. She doesn't always get it right, but she's trying and sometimes the failures make for a good story and a laugh. She tweets funny things the kids say, amusing stuff she finds on the net, and she's not a robot; mention her handle and you will get a response, not spam. Follow her to receive the latest updates from her blog, Tropical Mum. Sometimes funny, sometimes thoughtful, always real and always in thongs...the shoes, not the underwear.
