Taxes by Kerri Sackville

13 February 2012 by Kerri Sackville

The Cleaning Lady Did It by Kerri Sackville

7 February 2012 by Kerri Sackville

Day One by Kerri Sackville

1 February 2012 by Kerri Sackville

My son started high school yesterday. And it was fine. Just fine. Okay, so I sat in the car afterwards and wept, but that’s not a big deal. I weep all the time these days. Transitions are hard, and … [Read more...]

“Falling In Dior. Okay, Not Dior” by Kerri Sackville

24 January 2012 by Kerri Sackville

(Don’t) Do It Yourself Part 2 by Kerri Sackville

9 January 2012 by Kerri Sackville

The Games We Play by Kerri Sackville

2 January 2012 by Kerri Sackville

"Is P-H-I-J-O-R-N a word?" my son asks. "Yes," I tell him. "P-H-I-J-O-R-N is definitely a word. It means 'to attempt to cheat at Scrabble'". It is the Christmas holidays and there is a faint hint of … [Read more...]

(Don’t) Do It Yourself by Kerri Sackville

19 December 2011 by Kerri Sackville

Here’s some advice for you: Do not attempt to cut your own hair. Unless you are an ambidextrous hairdresser with eyes in the back of your head, do not do it. Nothing good will ever come from it. Of … [Read more...]

Can’t live with ’em, can’t hurl ’em out the window by Kerri Sackville

12 December 2011 by Kerri Sackville

My feelings for my laptop are much like my feelings for my husband. Sometimes I love it madly and want to shower it with affection. And sometimes I hate it with a passion, and want to hurl it against … [Read more...]

The Sleeping Mother Fails Again by Kerri Sackville

5 December 2011 by Kerri Sackville

How to Throw a Party by Kerri Sackville

28 November 2011 by Kerri Sackville

The Stranger by Kerri Sackville

21 November 2011 by Kerri Sackville

Losing My Mind by Kerri Sackville

14 November 2011 by Kerri Sackville

The Deficit by Kerri Sackville

7 November 2011 by Kerri Sackville

Thank You by Kerri Sackville

31 October 2011 by Kerri Sackville

Last week, a close of friend of mine had a rough few days. She’d received some unexpected news, had to make a difficult decision, and was struggling with the best path to take. She didn’t announce her … [Read more...]

What I Don’t Know by Kerri Sackville

25 October 2011 by Kerri Sackville

Forty Three by Kerri Sackville

17 October 2011 by Kerri Sackville

10,000 Hours Isn’t Always Enough by Kerri Sackville

10 October 2011 by Kerri Sackville

According to Malcolm Gladwell, a writer and philosopher, the key to success is 10,000 hours – you become a master at a skill once you’ve practiced it for 10,000 hours. According to that theory, I … [Read more...]

A Room Of My Own by Kerri Sackville

5 October 2011 by Kerri Sackville

Since I moved in with my husband, I have longed to have a Room Of My Own. Other people long for fancy cars, or pieces of jewellery, or a home in Paris; I just yearned for an office space with four … [Read more...]

The Conversation by Kerri Sackville

27 September 2011 by Kerri Sackville

It’s nine pm on a Tuesday evening  and I am absolutely shattered after a long, hard day. I’ve only just got the eldest of my three kids to bed, I still have school lunches to make, and all I can think … [Read more...]

MasterChef Guilt by Kerri Sackville

21 September 2011 by Kerri Sackville

"Mum," says my 12 year old son, "I want something like ice cream, but not ice cream. Using banana as the key ingredient. Surprise me."
