Trim Healthy Mama as a Framework for Life (not a diet)
THM can be a framework, an educational tool. A template. Not a dietary restriction that one must abide by or ‘else’. Like most women, my life is busy, full, rich, too much of everything to be bound by more rules. Yet, without some sort of framework my health would deteriorate into something that leaves me with no functioning life. I need some sort of template in order to function and work towards health.
Deep S meals with THM
What is a Deep S meal? When should we eat them? Here is a brief rundown of what Deep S is and what it is good for.
THM… Finding Your Own Way
The sisters often encourage us to do THM our way. What does that mean? This is THM your way. And THM, unlike most other eating philosophies, has room for ALL types of people! Your home looks different to mine and they both look different to someone else’s. As they should be.

Low Carb Milk: THM Friendly (S)
I’ve been on my quest. A quest to satisfy my daily habit. I have tried everything – almond, cashew, coconut, sunflower, flax, hemp and blends but none of them have been able to satisfy me. Until now. The inspiration came to me while making the instant cookie dough protein bars which are yummy and hit the spot. Low Carb Milk.
Why I LOVE Trim Healthy Mama
You know why I love this lifestyle more than any other eating plan I’ve done? Because it isn’t just trim. And it isn’t just healthy. And it isn’t just for me but the whole family. It is Trim *AND* Healthy. It is an eating plan for life that is affordable, sustainable and achievable in the long term.
Typical Meals in my Home
I’m a creature of habit and convenience. I’m a Drive Thru Sue with Purist ideals. This is a typical week’s worth of meals in my home. I don’t like shakes or smoothies and I’m quite conservative with my drinks. I’ll try about 3 shakes or smoothies per year and gag every time. It’s just not my thing. Coffee is though. Hmm coffee. Coffee, chamomile tea, green tea and Good Girl Moonshine are regular drinks.
Forgiveness and Reconciliation
Learning to accept the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. Trying to rebuild a relationship when there are two very different beliefs about the world, its Creator and therefore how we should live as well as how we see the current status of our relationship and everything surrounding it.
Homemade Cashew Milk
Regular readers and friends will know about my search for a dairy milk replacement that I can tolerate. I can't stand Almond Milk unless it is combined with coconut milk but even then I don't really like it, I just manage to tolerate it. So I kept experimenting and...
Just an Ordinary Day
Today was one of those days. Of not coping. As much as I love them I am so over The Wiggles. Do the Propeller, Do the propeller around and around, We’re going up and up and up and up”
Stop Susan, have a normal conversation for once!
The Beauty of Grey
From light grey to darker shades of grey, the complements and contrasts speak of my life. Grey is not just grey!
About Susan
It’s a long history – colourful and varied – so read along at your own risk. For this is the musing of a messay mama, who bumbles her way through marriage, motherhood and mess.

Not Allowing Social Media to Change my Agenda
Once I check social media, my agenda changes. All good, noble things but it still takes me away from my domain. Have you found scheduling Internet time to be beneficial? Have you found that being online early changes your daily agenda?
Entering the Workforce
A new season of change as this stay-at-home-&-homeschooling mum enters the workforce.
Keeping In Touch When They've All Left Home
How do you keep up with your adult children? How frequently do you talk to your kids and by what means? Just as my relationship with each child was different when we homeschooled, so it is now that they are adults. And so we have different ways and times with each of them.

Four Things I Want In My Life
I don’t do New Year resolutions and haven’t for quite some time. And yet here I am going to post a list of things that I’d like to either achieve, work on or try. But don’t be fooled into thinking it has anything to do with the New Year. It’s just timing.
