My Biggest Critic Is……
Written by commonchaoschronicle
I have been doing a hell of a lot of soul searching lately.
Depression has kicked in hardcore on top of my anxiety.
While I still have some good days, there have been many bad ones.
I find it so hard to be enthusiastic about anything.
Well I get excited but soon after comes that voice in my head that has to ruin it for me.
You know, the one that always brings up the negatives, the ‘what if’s’ and so on.
That’s right, I now [...]

Have I Finally Found My Voice???
Written by commonchaoschronicle
So it’s Friday afternoon.
Normally I am tossing up whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Good because it means no lunchboxes and no uniforms, and if I am lucky, no freakin’ alarm clock either.
Bad because it means that I have to catch up on all the things I haven’t done, while entertaining 6 MonsterSquad members and dodging cats under my feet.
So you can see, I usually have mixed feelings about the weekend especially when it’s going to be [...]

Did I Tell You About The Time…..?
Written by commonchaoschronicle
So you guys want to know more about me huh?
Well I have put together a list of things that I may or may not have told you all before, so I hope it fills in some gaps for you all in amongst the chaos of my MonsterSquad and the review and sponsored posts I also like to write.
Here goes…..
1. I grew up in Melbourne with my Mum, Dad and Brother. I’d say I had a fairly ‘normal’ upbringing for a [...]

The Invisible Blogger!
Written by commonchaoschronicle
It’s been 3months since my last confession…..
No wait!
It’s been several weeks since my last blog post though, and I am finally here sitting at my very own desk in my room in what appears to be a state of silence…..
WHOA!
That never happens anymore.
I feel to some extent I owe you some kind of explanation.
Well here it is…..
The school holidays were busy. I assumed I would have a whole heap of down time and I was seriously mistaken.
I did not have [...]

I Am Learning To {Heart} My Body… One Day At A Time!
Written by commonchaoschronicle
When I saw this linky come up in my news feed the other day, I wasn’t real sure that I would participate in it. I mean if there is a person out there that has major, major body image issues, the finger would be pointed directly at me.
There’s no denying that.
So why am I here, even contemplating a blog post on this matter? Well because I made a promise to someone.
I had a Common Chaos [...]

A Relationship ‘Wake-Up’ Call.
Written by commonchaoschronicle
I was talking with a lovely lady the other day about all things ‘relationships’ and the conversation sidetracked and we got onto yacking about giving compliments out.
She asked, when was the last time you said something nice or appreciative to Monstersquad Dad? (Well she said his name, but you guys know him as MSD)
And I had to stop and think for a second.
I mean don’t get me wrong, I tell the man I love him every single day, but I [...]

The Great Big Empty…
Written by commonchaoschronicle
There’s something that has been playing on my mind for ages and I haven’t been able to put it down into blog form simply because it’s emotional and I don’t like writing emotional posts when other people are around me.
There will be tears…. for sure.
Now I know this is going to sound a little odd, but ever since I had Elijah on the 2nd of July, I have had an overwhelming feeling of emptiness inside of me.
It’s not something I [...]

Raising Independent Children- The Pros & Cons At Choas HQ.
Written by commonchaoschronicle
As a parent I have always had it in my mindset that I want to raise independent children.
Inspired by my own brother’s upbringing, I am adamant that no child of mine is going to leave the nest incapable of looking after themselves.
Don’t get me wrong, my brother is more than capable of looking after himself now, but there was a time in his late teens where cooking could’ve become an issue.
We look back and giggle now, but the prize meal [...]

What Would It Take For You To Disown Your Own Child?
Written by commonchaoschronicle
I have been thinking about this a lot lately. And not because I am thinking of doing a midnight drop off at the local orphanage….
Google Image
Yes I joke about selling the monsters on eBay. They’ve even seen me open up a listing and start typing, but even they know I’m joking and could never part with them. I get the cheeky grins and the “you will not mum, you love us too much”….. Hmmmm
So what would it take for me [...]

When A Sniffle Isn’t Just A Sniffle- A Post For Jordan O’Riley
Written by commonchaoschronicle
Today I want to share a story with you, it’s about a young boy that goes to school with my children.
His name is Jordan O’Riley and he is only 10. He hasn’t been to school since term 2.
I like to think as a parent, you know when your child is unwell.
I mean sometimes they like to pull our legs a little, try and twist our arms for that extra day off school, but on a whole we know [...]
