Shlumpadinka
The word Oprah Winfrey made up a long time ago to describe slumpy housewives, the types that are wearing the same sweats they wore yesterday and the day before. They usually have more than one child and are running around nonstop and have been totally worn out and given up on how they look.
Spring is officially world Shlumpadinka season for 2011 and the Shlumpadinka Sleepover Party begins here in Western Australia. A world first Shlumpadinka Sleepover Party. This year, 2011, our Moore River Holiday home is available for the first, Sisterhood of the Shlumpadinka’s Sleepover Party. We will measure the success of the Shlumpadinka Sleepover Spring Party from our individual bookings this year, and then open the Shlumpadinka Sleepover Party to greater groups of women next year. My thoughts are creating a full Shlumpadinka season, being winter, as we can get out our UGG boots and really complete the Shlumpadinka look. Australia’s winter is from June till August, but in other parts of the world winter is designated at different times of the year. As we are on 40 acres on the Moore River, just one hour north of Perth, this would make an easy getaway for us busy Shlumpadinka housewives, as the rural setting means you don’t have to bring out your besties, just invite your besties along. I personally need my Shlumpadinka moments just to chill out and I am a proud Shlumpadinka and high roller housewife. A high roller housewife loves to curl with the girls, so bring your hair rollers too. Moore River Holidays is located directly off Indian Oprah Drive, oops, Indian Ocean Drive. i love you Oprah!
Shlumpadinka Sleepover Party: Stay Frumpy Friday till Shlumpadinka Sunday
Shlumpadinka face: little or no make up
Shlumpadinka dress code: PJ’s and tracksuits
Shlumpadinka syndrome: Laugh, Love & Lounge a little. Share stories with girlfriends
Shlumpadinka dance moves: Shlumpadinka Sexy
Shlumpadinka breakfast: Opraisin Toast, tea & coffee
Shlumpadinka lunch: Panini press sandwiches
This Shlumpadinka Sleepover Party blog wording may change, as I am wanting to be respectful on words written, just in case I am infringing on Oprah’s or anyone’s trademarks
Thanks my Shlumpadinkas and High Roller Housewives

To the Gingin Shire,
I’d like to personally thankyou for reading my single letter out loud to your coucillors at the meeting where you were allocating grants and funds for our community. Thank you to the Sun City News for bringing this to our attention.
I appreciate the effort that it takes to run the Gingin Shire and the total land mass your team has to look after. Thank you for acknowledging my letter and granting our Small Business Development Centre an in kind grant of $5000.
What may seem like different areas only recieve small amounts of money and grants, but in actual fact I look at grants with a totally different set of eyes. I see the opportunity of a small grant given, with a greater scope for creativity. By building unique events for our Gingin Shire on a shoestring and committing to networking groups is what comes with working within a limited budget, together we need to think differently. Gingin is the heart of the Moore River region and has really earned its heart medal with a community like this. My wish is for the Gingin Shire to grab tourism with two hands and tell us the direction you see us heading as I am feeling somewhat squashed and stiffled, I wouldn’t hang around if I couldn’t see the potential. But if I decide that I no longer can be a committee member of Gingin Tourism, let me tell you, I will never give in on something that I can see the potential for. If I can see my daughter go through a nut allergy and come out the other with bells and whistles, this is the same strength,courage and commitment I will give to my community and love for tourism. You may only see that a single letter sent was sent to the Gingin Shire, but my community made me do it! They believe in me to make the right choices for the greater community and I will always uphold in that belief.

Just got off the phone to one of the dedicated volunteer ambulance officers and talking to him gave me goosebumps. The reason why he gave me goosebumps is that he was talking to me like a true soldier. A true soldier specialises with military precision that requires different areas of knowledge and skill-sets to help those in need. He says, that there were 2 young men he was speaking with, who were the first on the scene who were so courageous and brave that they overcame their fears and smashed the windows, to free the tourists inside the bus. These two young boys, thought about the fear of an explosion due to fuel, but decided to go forward and put their own lives on the line to help others in need. We had helicopters, paramedics and police at the scene and he believes there would have been in excess of 24-30 volunteers on the ground in Lancelin setting up make set areas for medical attention. The Desert Storm Operation flowed so well, as he believes this may have been our biggest accident in the Moore River region. Not only was the dedication of being a volunteer was driving him, but one the proudest moments he said was that he was standing alongside other fellow volunteer team members of ambulance and fire brigade. Our emergency crew and volunteers came from in our shire and the surrounding shires. He said the volunteers are on call day and night upon demand. He wants to ensure that you know, that our teams of volunteers are providing this service with absolute dedication from their hearts, in an unpaid capacity and they are on call 24/7. Being a volunteer is so good for his soul we wishes he could walk alongside more of you in the community.
Dear our Singapore visitors, I just wanted to share with you a little insight into the locals we have in our community who will do anything to help others in need. The Moore River region is just one hour north of Perth and you feel like you are in the country, as our community is filled with heroes with big hearts and warm smiles. We do hope this will not hinder you to enjoy Western Australia.
Western Australia is the “Outdoor playground of Australia” My warmest regards Singapore, my warmest, Rona Chiera

I always knew of Woollybush Guesthouse, but I’ve never discovered it until now. We had our November tourism meeting here and Annette showcased her treasured home. Woollybush Guesthouse’s website does not show you how magical this place is. If I was distracted by Chloe during our tourism meeting, wait til you spend the weekend there with Chloe. I envy you! Annette and Phil showcased their B&B to our Gingin Tourism group and I do hope we get to have a future breakfast tourism meeting there. Annette and Phil may give five star hospitality, but with Chloe at your side, Woollybush has earned the Moore River regions first 6 star award for the best “Uniquely Australia Bed and Breakfast”. With just one hour from Perth, why would you wait for a long weekend?
Log onto www.woollybushguesthouse.com.au to see who Chloe is?

So what more can I expect from my Propolis from West Coast Honey.
Well, I am publicly documenting my Propolis use on my daughter Isabella. Today is day 20 and I am in love with the results that I see happening with Isabella’s Granuloma annulare episode and my belief in Propolis. I was running low on Propolis and my calculations saw me running out of Propolis, so I went to my local health food shop. I grabbed one more bottle to see me through til I made it up to West Coast Honey. Isabella had an allergic reaction to the new Propolis. I thought Propolis was Propolis but it is not. This Propolis had a peppermint extract in it. She was immediately given antihistermines and had to have the day off school as her face swelled and her lips were as big as Angelina Jolie. I have photographed her allergic reaction, but haven’t learned how to add photos to my blogs. We have missed 3 days of Propolis during our 20 day Propolis intake and the 2 days in a row I missed, I could see the difference. My personal opinion whilst having a highly allergic child is to always try new products during the day, ensure you have anti histimines and in case a reaction does happen, chemists, doctors and hospitals are usually fully staffed during the day and time is of the essence with an allergic or anaphylactic reaction
So what is your story? Tell us what great things have you experienced from Propolis?
Write in or visit West Coast Honey in the Moore River region, Gingin and tell them your story and get your supplies from our honey bees. What more could you want in your medicine cupboard, jarrah honey and Propolis.
Will keep you updated in another blog
