To My Beautiful Child, I write this one of my Mother’s Love Letters on the Eve of your very first Christmas. It’s your first Christmas. And it’s my first Christmas as a mother. As I reflect on what this time of year means to me, I would like to share my thoughts with you. My darling, it’s a time of year in Australia where children are taking a long break from school. Adults are taking some time off work. Businesses are closed too. For some, Christmas means a lot. For others, it... Read Full Story

Ford Focus Review Warning: This is totally written by a chick. If you’re expecting a high-tech, detailed review of the features, you’re in the wrong place!

For a significant part of my legal career, I have worked in what I believe is the most difficult area of law, hands down – child protection. I had a break from child protection law, but now I’m back doing some casual legal work in that area.

I tell you something. You don’t need to go to... Read Full Story
