Is there really such a things as a work/life balance???

The short answer I fear is: no.

The slightly longer answer: well maybe, kinda but no not really...

Well that's how it feels around here at the moment. Honestly, I have to take my hat off to all of those other Mums and Dad out there working and raising a family, especially those who appear to be keeping it together way better than I am currently.

And single parents - woza you guys rock.

My household is really no different to that of so many others here where I live. Many of the people here are commuters - lots of families have both parents doing the big trip in and out of town everyday, thankfully there is only one of us doing that here but still its a massive drain.

I read somewhere the other day something like 40,000 people from our area commute an hour or more each way each day for work. Yes 40,000!

That's 40,000 people spending an extra 2 - 3 hours a day travelling for work. Amazing.

How on earth do you get a balance when that is standard in your house?

When is a wet bag not just a wet bag?


When its a Hatchlings Cloth Nappies Deluxe wet bag that's when!

Before I go on... so sorry that its been quiet on the blog front - we have had the worst run of illness in our household, the joys of toddlers germs. Anyway its made getting on here impossible* so I apologise. Anyway, back to wet bags...

A few weeks ago (ok probably months ago now, as I said LOTS of illness..) I posted this photo on my Matilda's Mum facebook page...

This package brings much excitement and just a little trepidation -
my first product review! What could it be??
So what was in the package you may ask? Well it was a gorgeous wet bag from Hatchlings Cloth Nappies.
