About

The purple notepad is a collection of thoughts, musings and observations of a thirty something woman, happily married and mum to a beautiful baby girl who has turned my world upside down in the best way possible. And I can't forget our special little puppy dog either!

I'm Katie, married to the love of my life, living close to Sydney and working in the heart of it for a few days a week. I’m a country girl at heart who loves the opportunity and wide array of choices in the city, but looks forward to the day when a more peaceful and slower lifestyle becomes a reality.

With a background as a journalist, media adviser and communications specialist, I'm always keen to learn more about myself and the world around me. I hope to share some of my thoughts and observations on everyday life, news and a bit of politics together with shopping, beauty, family, friendship and the many crazy moments that make up my life as a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend.
Welcome to the purple notepad. Comments are very much welcome and gratefully received. I look forward to many conversations.
