I don’t know about you but I love a good chat. And I feel like we have a lot of chat about.
So pull up a chair and get yourself comfy. Let’s catch up on all the things!
Woogsworld turns 10
Fun Fact – Mrs Woog was the first big blogger I met. And by met, I mean hardcore stalked, obviously.
Her blog, Woogsworld was one of the first blogs I ever read. Mrs Woog’s daily blog posts were – and still are – laugh out loud funny, relatable and real.
Back in the day, blogs were like online diaries. A glimpse into someone else’s life that was kind of like yours.
I remember reading one of Mrs Woog’s stories – the one where she was feeling a bit sad but then ate a bread roll and instantly felt better – and I was hooked.
I mean my life motto consists of two things – shopping is my cardio and everybody knows carbs are good in a crisis.
When I read that bread roll story I felt like I’d basically found my carb soul sister. If only there was a way to actually meet her…
Fast forward a couple of years and I find myself at the Kidspot Voices of 2014 cocktail party. In the same room as Mrs Woog.
I introduce myself. Mrs Woog asks what I blog about.
I reply, “The Real Housewives of Melbourne and cake.”
Mrs Woog laughs.
I AM BESIDE MYSELF.
Naturally I play it cool by ASKING FOR A PHOTO….
Flashback to 2014 – when imperfect, grainy photos on Instagram were a thing. Also, I may or may not have this photo printed on a t-shirt.
Surprisingly, Mrs Woog continues to chat with me throughout the evening.
A few weeks later I up the stalking ante by emailing Mrs Woog and asking if she would consider mentoring me. She replies with a “hell yeah” and today, four years later, we are great friends.
You can read the extended version of how we met here, along with the *ahem* expert blogging advice Mrs Woog gave me that night.
Let’s just say, Guns definitely approved of that advice and whenever I mention Mrs Woog’s name, he trots out the line, “I’ve always liked Mrs Woog. You should listen to her more often.”
This month Mrs Woog celebrates her 10th year of blogging and there’s an epic giveaway happening.

Uber Mum at your service
Meanwhile, back at Team Smith HQ, my Uber Mum services are in overdrive.
Earlier this week I did the school run six times. In one day.
That’s six forty minute round trips. I mean, I don’t even know why I bothered getting out of the car.
This weekend we’re back at school for something. To be honest I don’t know what, but I’m hoping there will be wine.
Adrift x Styling Curvy Lifestyle Basics Collab
Most days I snap an outfit photo at home and share it on Instagram and Facebook.
But last month things stepped up a notch when I was asked to be part of a photo shoot for the

Team Blush Pink
It’s no secret that I’m crushing hard on all the blush pink things at the moment.
The blog’s been given a bit of a blush pink freshen up, along with my office and pretty much most of my wardrobe.
I’ll have a full office reveal for you soon, but in the meantime, here’s a sneak peek.
Doesn’t usually look that tidy.
Bought anything lately?
Why yes, I have. Thank you for asking.
Just this morning my beautiful friend Nikki from Styling You launched her latest ‘Nikki’s Faves’ edit in her online store.
Naturally I took full advantage of the shop in your pjs situation and promptly purchased a Glindawand Cosmetica cheek colour and Adorne Clear Pouch.
If you feel like you could do with some of Nikki’s Faves in your life too, you can check the entire range out here.
Can honestly say this isn’t really a problem for me. Commit to the cart people. Commit to the cart!
But enough about me. Let’s chat about you.
