With both DH and I working in the tech industry for many years, and being major tech geeks, it comes as no surprise to anyone that knows us that as a household we are neck deep in tech devices. I’ve lost count of how many computers, laptops, phones, tablets etc we have, and have had, in this house. Despite being born in the 80s, when tech was expensive and not readily available, we both found a love of tech and electronics very very early on in our lives. Fast forward to our 30s, and we now have kids. Whilst we have definitely passed on our love of tech to our…

Unique Father’s Day Gift Ideas
When it comes to dads, I think I’ve been extremely lucky in my life. Not only did I get the best Dad ever, who would move mountains for his 3 kids, but I managed to snag just as great a dad for my 2 kids 😛 Just don’t tell them both that 😛 hehe. As usual though when it gets to any gift giving event, like Father’s Day, they are two of the hardest people to buy for. Not because there’s a lack of things to buy for them, but because there’s sometimes way too much on the market that I would love to get for them 😛 Unfortunately, I…

Fifth Birthday Star Wars Party
It happened. I’m not crazy about the idea but I knew the time would eventually come. The boy who took 4 days to vacate the premises, after induction, has turned 5. FIVE! I know it’s something alot of parents say, but I honestly have no idea where the time went. One minute I’m neck deep in bottles, nappies, the tiniest wee baby clothes and the next I’ve got this lanky, tall, attitude of a 13 year old, 5 year old boy. Whilst I do tear up at the idea (alot), I am looking forward to the new adventures with a school age child. Well that’s what I’m telling myself anyway…

World On Our Plate Review
If you’ve been on my Facebook or Instagram lately, you’ll know something major has happened in the imnotsupermum household in the last few weeks. No I’m not pregnant (hell no! Lol), my big boy has turned 5 and has started school! Waaaa! Like a lot of mums I know, I am not a morning person. So add making lunches and homework to the already long list of things to do before leaving home at 8.15AM, and I’m a blabbering mess at the end of the day. Unfortunately, dinner can’t be magically pulled out of the fridge/freezer (I’ve tried) and takeaways every night just seemed a bit ridiculous and not entirely…

Hot-Seat : Creation Station NZ + Giveaway
As with many mums these days, if I’m not running after the kids or doing household chores, I’m online. Whilst social media can be a great waster of time, it’s also a great way to find out more about what’s happening around me. Cos, let’s face it, these days if it’s not on social media it didn’t happen 😛 I’ve been lucky enough to meet many members from the talented mum & dads club. Some in real life, but most in the online world. In the Business Hot-Seat series, I hope to introduce you to some of these innovative and talented people. P.S If you’d like to be featured in…

Favourite Books for June 2016
Books have always been a big part of my kids lives, so it’s only natural that book reviews become part of the imnotsupermum blog 🙂 Almost every night, both kids get a bedtime book read to them by DH. For the moment, it’s one book for both of them with each picking the book every alternate night (unless they’re being ultra disagreeable then DH or I pick), which means we should get through around 25 books at bedtime a month! It would be 25 different books but as anyone with kids knows it’s usually 1 book 25 times! Sigh. So for the first reviews for our bedtime book series, these…
