My name is Amelia and I live in Melbourne, Australia. As a child, I had very chubby cheeks.

Mother to three, wife to one, hag-ridden gorgon to many. I work full-time and cope part-time and cook, drink, knit and swear in between. Games of Root Shoot Marry are hosted on my blog every Friday night that I don't start drinking too early.

Mother, lover, poet, part-time procrastinater, daughter, sister, auntie, cook, cleaner (ha ha ha), programmer, writer... Aspiring to excel at all, but enjoying the training life is throwing my way!

Wife. Mother. e-columnist. Public Servant (sigh). Canberran.

I once had a great career and a fantastic handbag collection. I gave it up to become a housewife and full-time mother. This blog is my take on life in East Vic Park - a suburb with its fair share of odd people.

It's really just a load of stuff about my family, my life, my city and there's a bit thrown in about things that annoy, amuse or enthrall me, you know, a blog.
