  • Come on Sydney it's the happiest run in the world today #TeamWhalan excited to exercise and dance our way around the course @thecolorrunaus, baby Evita having special time at home with my mother 💤💤💤💤
  • Ok Woollongong we are coming for you (Evita with her double chin) is even looking in your direction! She will be hosting #Bump,#Birth and #Baby expo with me today up on stage. If there is ever a time to emcee an event in a babybjorn this is it! Excited to engage in all things motherhood, midwives and the incredible stalls that are being set up! Secretly I'm pretty chuffed I get 90min of car time to myself too 👏👌congratulations @cherish_birth you're going to soar in your event today in the stunning @thewoolshed_online venue x
  • Happily dressed for "Breakfast With The Bunch" @thecentennialhomestead with @cycling_executives hosting a morning of knowledge, laughs and business
  • Here's some home real-ness for you. Both hubby and I are in our dressing gowns; I'm prepping to host a cycling breakfast tomorrow morning (nervous about fitting it in between the 7am breastfeed and 9am school drop offs) and @thomaswhalan is prepping for @wpolobythesea which has just been announced in PortoFino next month (👏) ! I'm learning notes, and he is coordinating over the other side of the world a huge event. Just a typical evening at the Whalan's. I pace up and down the hallway learning my lines and last week for another event I practised them on baby Evita who was a very silent communicator 😆 and gave me no feedback at all. When I prep to host for an event I need the house ridiculously clean much to the happiness of our amazing nanny @alexiswhelan. My head is clear and I can talk my lines out loud without a toy or misplaced sock or messy table distracting me. I drink loads of water and my appetite decreases ... but I make up for it on the weekend with my burgers from @victor.churchill. Just a little insight as we all do life in our own ways. Aiming to be the best and brightest light I can be each and everyday !
  • My orange just got taken to a new level 👏👏👏with buses rolled out along Sydney with @bio_island @thequeenhood what a way to celebrate a first year. But secretly regardless that the face is a little rounder (pregnant in this pic) the orange 🍊 is my highlight 😆. Very grateful. @kestymunozmakeup
  • So much fun hosting @aldiaustralia Christmas in July feast in a beautiful home that made the evening intimate, relaxed and real! Such a highlight to meet @jamesvilesbiota and the incredible men and women in the room! What a treat. Thankyou @kestymunozmakeup for always making me on the outside, look glam! X
  • I still remember the "shower" moment i had when @thequeenhood came to me and from there I said goodbye to fear and put my head into gear. We celebrate ONE amazing year next month and what a better way to do it than by bringing together incredible women doing life whether thriving or surviving, enduring or enjoying. Life is to be LIVED, loved , laughed and above all LIFTED. I love to encourage and look forward to another great event. Tickets in Bio and yes there will be cake! 👏 so looking forward to having @MenStylePower @life_style_diaries and @kestymunozmakeup share
  • Grateful for the gorgeous creative, talented and generous women out there blessing others! This just arrived ! My world on my neck hand made @christinebardajian #MrsBeesJewellery THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU what a divine surprise as I start the weekend
  • It's way past her bedtime but tonight I took our eldest daughter along to where I spoke in Canberra. She even said to me "Mum i thought it was going to be boring but actually you weren't, you're really interesting. Only one time i was bored and ready to go home" 😆Children certainly keep you humble. Thankyou @defenceforcearmy @queanbeyan_tigers
