Ladies who lunch

I find it amusing when people assume that I don't work.

You'd be surprised at how often I get asked, 'So, you don't work at all?' Literally more often than not, when I meet new people, they think that I'm a lady of leisure.

I shouldn't be upset. I guess it means that I look well-rested, relaxed, and not at all stressed.


It probably also means that I spend a little too much time sharing my leisure activities on social media. I blame Trainee Mama.

Peta and rarely do anything together without at least one of us sharing a pic or three on Instagram. (But honestly, who's surprised when we've got this little kidlet with us, looking adorable and camera-ready all the time?)

Confession: the kid flew down this slide so fast that I didn't catch him and he bumped his head. We both giggled and he was fine.

Peta and I enjoyed a lovely lunch together on one of our mutual days off (we only have one or two of these a week), and met up with a local friend we'd met through Instagram.




Lunch was at One on La Balsa at Kawana, and it was the perfect place for a coffee, a meal (Peta's salad looked amazing!) and a sit in the sunshine. After a chat with Lara, Peta and I headed across the road to let Ned run some energy out in the park - and we managed to have a bit of a play too.

Playtime and coffee by the lovely Mooloolaba Harbour. I know we say it a lot, but how lucky are we to live in such a beautiful place?! 

Do you ever get the chance to lunch with your girlfriends on a weekday? How decadent does it feel?!

  2. I'm forcing the ladies who lunch agenda on a few friends next month, thanks to a blog series I have coming up. It's really just an excuse for me to get out more but don't tell anyone. ;)

  4. I think everyone I know thinks I have a charmed life also - such is the curse of working from home. I've met Peta, Trainee Mama, at a FMS event last year, she's a genuinely lovely person! And she has GREAT GUNS!

  5. What a great outfit. It's so funny how working from home is perceived, especially after having children.

  6. I love the dress too! I work from home, which affords me wonderful flexibility and the ability to wear whatever the hell I want (read: gym gear) on days when I don't have meetings. This often misleads people into thinking I do nothing all day long. Then they see the bags under my eyes and all becomes clear. :)

  10. You look gorgeous lovely!! And Mr Ned is sooooo cute. I get this question too and it makes me lol so much, I figure I must only bother to 'gram and tweet the fun stuff. Pair that with a 24/7 job that means I just take a moment when I can and bam! Folks think you don't do very much at all!

  11. Looking FANTABULOUS!
    Oh, I'm always answering the question "So, what do you all day?" I hate it. When I'm in a particularly pissed off mood - I just respond with "Oh not much, usually I sit around and drink cocktails"
    My friend and I did do lunch a couple of weeks ago, and it was BLISS. We felt so fancy - a weekday lunch {with a glass of bubbles} - very decadent :)
