The State of Origin is a bit of a contentious issue at our house, with half of our family born in Qld and half born in NSW. It always makes for interesting discussions in the weeks leading up to State of Origin. But I must say I was delighted last night that the Mighty Blues won the 100th game of Origin. Very excited.

And down on the farm, it always is a bit of a joke at this time of year about the Qld Blue Couch. I think that there must have been a “Funny” NSW person who decided to name Qld Blue Couch, and I think it was after the State of Origin. I think that NSW either lost that year and to stick it to the Qlders they called the softest fluffiest darkest green coloured lawn Qld Blue Couch. Now forever more Qld has its own lawn named after it, but with the BLUE’s tag formly entrenched. hehehehe

Funny how life is sometimes.

This last couple of weeks there has been a huge focus on Women in sport. Not only their oles in playing sport, and my hat off to all of you amazing women with the talent and skill to play sport, but also their roles in getting kids, partners and family and friends to games and training so they can play sport. It is very nice that it coincides with Mothers Day. A Great way to say thanks to women and respect all that they do. And my kids are right up there as well.

I am not unfortunately one of those amazing skilled women who play sport with finesse and grace. More flapping, falling and laughing. So I am one of those mums that drive my kids to games, pick up my more skilled husband, cheer my brother on, and provide all those handy things, like grass to play all these fine games to play on.

Most recently I drove to Murwillumbah High School to watch my much more talented daughter than I, run her regional cross country. It was amazing and inspiring. Yes I am one of those tearing up mums too.

I am proud to be the mum however who puts down the playing fields for everyone to play on. Most recently Coastal Turf supplied the Tweed Shire Council with Gorgeous Green Wintergreen Couch for the Arkinstall Park sporting complex. I cannot wait for my kids to play there.

But until then, I will be super proud of my feilds and especially my kids!

Play on all you amazing people and KUDOS to all those in the background making it all possible.
