Introduction I'm Odette and I'm a busy stay-at-home mum of three littlies (Arley 6, Sage 4 and Bastian 2) and freelance writer when the house is finally quiet. In my former life (Before Children), I worked as an editor and writer in the busy offices of Australia's top teen and tween magazines (Girlfriend, TV Hits, Total Girl and KZone) and also did stints in the PR and newsreading worlds. Between school runs, playdough sessions and cooking endless batches of blueberry muffins, I still indulge in my love of writing by slowly chipping away at my Masters degree, writing freelance articles and scribbling down children's stories whenever I get the chance. But right now, my husband Luke and I are breaking the routine and taking our kids on a three month road trip (we've done it all before solo www.twotonkinsinakombi.blogspot.com) towing our caravan to far north Queensland and across to the Northern Territory. We want our children to discover the beauty of Australia, to really appreciate nature and each other and to create memories that will last a life time - that's the plan anyway!
