Nap Time, Schnap Time

​Not leaving the house due to the hazardous air quality of the NSW bush fires has been detrimental for my mental health.

My toddler and I do 67.5 crafts per day, on average. We bake, we pretend to bake in her kitchen, we paint, draw, trace our bodies on craft paper, build forts, make book labyrinths, have a bath in the middle of the day, do play dough. The list is endless, my patience is not. 

By the time my husband gets home, around 3pm, I’ve already asked him 21 questions before his bag hits the floor.

“What’s it like out there?

How was your day? 

What did you eat?

Did you have the recycled air on in the car?

Who did you talk to, and did they tell you any jokes?

What was the podcast about that you listened to your quiet drive home?

Do you think that a zombie apocalypse is imminent? 

Should we start building a bunker with food and water since 2019 was the hottest year on record in Australia?

Will Matrix 4 be a total bust, or the best Matrix yet?

Have you seen how clean the house is?

Do these yoga pants give me the illusion of having cakes, or more of a ..... cupcake?”


I’ve witness my slippery slope and came to a resolution this week, quick smart. I went to my local library and got a bunch of snarky, sarcastic non-fiction books.... my favourite genre, don't mind if I do.

I love reading and it's been a while since I've had the luxury of getting lost in a good book! Are there other things I could be doing with my kid-free nap time? 100% !!! But meal prepping or folding laundry doesn't remotely give me the amount of satisfaction as a good book and a little bit of quiet time.
HOT TIP: I'm most excited about Calypso from one of my favourite authors, David Sedaris. If you like memoirs and non-fiction essays, he is your man. 

The last two days my kids have actually napped at the same time, which has allowed me to crawl into bed with my book and read while listening to the hum of the air purifier. It's the best use of my time, far better than mindlessly scrolling Instagram or googling if dogs can communicate telepathically.

It's so good to be back with my nose in a book. Comment bellow with your favourite books of all time, pluuuueasseeee!!!
