I’ve been thinking about this post for a few weeks now… which is my problem, you see, I am really bad at sticking my scheduled time to write for Finding Joy. Sure, I’ve spent time writing for a bunch of other blogs or publications (the ones that *cough* pay me), but I am constantly breaking the cardinal rule of blogging by not posting regularly enough. Sorry guys. So, uh, as

The curse of the working mum
Hi there. Just thought I’d pop in and write something, lest you think I’d fallen off the face of the earth. This blog always seems like the first ball I drop once life starts getting a bit busy… and well… I’ve been juggling a lot. Serves me right for writing a post about how to stay organised. The Universe read that post about bullet journaling and laughed and laughed. Today, I’m not laughing.
A sneak peak at this mum’s journal | Free Bullet Journal Printables
Before you get too excited, I just want to clarify this isn’t a sneak peak into the private thoughts and ramblings in my journal. Trust me, you don’t want to get lost inside my head like that. 😜 No, this post is about how I started bullet journaling this year and has some handy, free printables for you to download in case you want to give it a shot too. What is
Juggling when you don’t know how to juggle
I’m having one of those weeks where my to-do list is growing at a rate that I can’t keep up, and right now I’m feeling completely under-accomplished and the voices of doubt keep telling me that I’ve bitten off way more than I can chew. I am juggling so many things at the moment, and fear that I’ll drop them all any second. I called hubby on the way home
3 simple, iron-rich baby food recipes you can cook and freeze in bulk
Preparing nutritious food for the whole family every day is no easy task, especially when the newest member is just starting their journey into the wonderful (and messy!) world of solids. Introducing solids is a big adjustment for everyone involved; often it means tweaking the menu and culling salt from recipes, that baby food equipment overtakes a significant part of the kitchen, and that suddenly there’s a lot more cleanup to contend with
Easy Peasy Pizza | Recipe
Here’s a super simple pizza recipe that you can knock up as dinner for the whole family in less than 15 minutes. That’s the same time it takes to prep a frozen pizza, but this doesn’t contain any of the nasty preservatives and random ingredients most frozen, boxed foods contain. For this reason, wholegrain or wholemeal pita bread is a staple on my grocery shopping list, and there always tomato paste in our pantry. I
Brush Lettering Art | Words that uplift and inspire
As many of you know, I started brush lettering several months ago, and have quickly fallen in love with it. It’s been my creative outlet during the short bursts of free time that being a mother of two small boys has afforded me. When I’m in the car or on the train and Mr Z is fast asleep, I’ll whip out some paper and a Tombow or Pentelle brush pen and start doing drills
How to manage multiple Google accounts on one computer
Most people I know have a personal Google account and the vast majority of clients I’ve worked with use Google for Business. This means throughout any given day, I need to manage multiple Google accounts and access inboxes, calendars, analytics, YouTube channels and Drives using different logins. I also use a different set of bookmarks and Chrome extensions depending on the job I’m doing. So how does someone manage all these different Google accounts without
The “Big School” Hustle
Mr 4 started school last week. I’m still in denial about the whole thing. As it turns out, so was he, because he hated saying goodbye in the morning and burst into tears during several drop-offs last week. I know that it takes time for kids to get used to the whole idea of “big school” and I absolutely expected there to be tears. But knowing this didn’t make tearing
Hello 2017
Welcome to 2017! We’re 4 days in and I’m already exhausted. We’re 4 days in and my four year old has already surpassed his screen-time quota for the whole month of January. What can I say? When your toddler has a high temperature, snuggling in bed and watching reruns of Paw Patrol and Voltron is the best cure (and possibly the only way to stay sane while also caring for

I can literally walk in the door at 7pm and have this plated and ready to go by 7:30, while still having time get changed out of my work clothes and get Mr 4’s hands washed.
