For two years, six months and six looonng days, I have waited to share the news I have for you on this podcast. And today, my friend, I am happy and proud to announce that my FIRST-EVER BOOK: The Travel Bog Diaries is available to buy!! WOO HOO!!!! Because it would be rude (and very boring) to celebrate alone, me and Bri thought what better way to thank you for supporting Liz than to invite you over to ours for a few drinks and a chat... So.

Five years ago, Brian and I left everything behind (including a full-time job with a regular wage) to take our family (two teenage kids), travelling around the world for a year. We visited almost thirty countries, including Japan, India, Sri Lanka, America, Vietnam, Thailand, Hong Kong and many countries in Europe. Our budget was 100 NZD (approx $70) a day. Because we were visiting places we had never been to before, we made sure to do plenty of research beforehand. Sadly, lots (most) of the

Book cover FEAR! Behind the scenes

It"s a Drama Podcast ·

2023/05/15

After almost two and a half years, I am almost ready to publish my first book. That book is called The Travel Bog Diaries. It is made up of hilarious short stories of what it was REALLY like to travel the world with two phone-addicted teenagers and a husband with an acid reflux problem…That book is my baby. Real. Raw. Honest. Funny and tender. The biggest fear that I had to overcome when going ahead with this book (I self-published) was the book cover. I knew what I wanted, and let's just say... my

Fess up. Hot, sweaty MESS. Time to confess. When does it happen? When do you turn into a dithering, hot, sweaty, prickly fuss-bag who shakes and quivers because she has misplaced her sunglasses? Even though it's pitch black outside. And freezing cold. And winter. In this week's hilarious episode, Liz shares about her recent disastrous trip to the capital of New Zealand to see her daughter, Brian talks dirty jeans, and they both let you in on a couple of secret confessions...

Replacing Brian

Last week it happened. I finally met someone who knows more than Bri, is more patient than Bri, is quicker than Bri...and to make things even weirder, they both have an 'i" in their name... Sit back, and enjoy the show. This week, other than talking about Brian's replacement, we discuss the dog peeing on the carpet (and what we are going to do about it), Liz lets go of a few facts about a country that Brian had NO idea about.

You'd think after practicing for almost twenty-two years, me and Bri would have this parenting lark off to a tee by now. But no. Once again, here we are asking if anyone else finds this tremendously-rewarding-but-hardy-pardy-pig-in-a-pokie-head-buttingly-difficult thing hard to navigate. Blub, slurp, burp. Well? Do you? We've had a right old weekend, me and Bri. What should have been a celebration ended up being a bit of a three-way counseling session. The only positive was there was lots of

In this weeks show, we talk about Brian's inherited hindrance, rearing cattle and putting yourself out on social media when it terrifies the heebie-jeebies out of you... Enjoy! PS: Don't forget!

We need your help. Or at least one of us does. As you may remember, Liz's book is currently with the editor. The nice one with the blonde hair. Last week the editor sent back the first two chapters. Full of edits. These edits were accompanied by an email that said, "these edits are suggestions. This is your book. You get to say what stays or goes". I told you she was nice. The trouble is, there's a problem. A big problem. Something that Liz never anticipated when she so cockily employed a

Tessa is our daughter. She is 18. In two days' time, she will leave me, Brian and her older brother (and the home where she grew up) to start a new life in Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. Alone. Brian and I will officially be empty nesters. Regular listeners to our podcast will know the effect this huge transition has had on us. Especially me. These past few months have been tough.

What a Bummer

Bummer: Noun. 1. An unpleasant situation. 2. A Traveler. 3. A motherless calf. 4. A fouler. We make lots of bloopers on this podcast. Say embarrassing things that make the other person's jaw drop. Sometimes we edit these blunders out, but most of the time, we leave them in. I'd like to tell you that this is because we are transparent and real. Authentic and vulnerable. But the truth is, we're lazy. Editing takes ages. Hours, sometimes. There's no WAY Bri can spend that much time fine-tuning our

Every year is the same. October rolls around, and, without fail, the same futile conversation takes place. "Let's make a pact!" Me and Bri say cheerfully as we slurp on our pumpkin soup, "This Christmas, we will... Not go overboard on presents. After all, the holiday season is about being together, not scanning the presents like scavvy vultures to see who's spent the most. Hurray! Keep the meal nice and simple. No foo-fah for us.

The Ghost of Brian's Past...

For years, Brian and I have disagreed over what Christmas morning should look like. What traditions we should pass down to our young children. Presents wrapped or unwrapped? Gifts given or hidden? Tree artificial or real? Mummy sloshed or sober? Decisions, decisions... In this week's Christmas special, we let three ghosts out of the bag...Take a skeleton out of the closet and treat you to a third reading of Liz's book.

I'm still trying to figure out if telling someone that they'll never amount to anything makes them stronger and more determined, like a lioness on rollerskates or defeated and beaten. Like a tired old bow-wow. This week Liz was picked to pieces by someone she respected. And it hurt. This post may contain affiliate links. They cost you nothing, but we make a small commission.
