I am a FIFO wife. Right now I’m living in Brisbane, QLD with my 4-year-old, while my husband lives in Mount Isa for work.
After almost a year of unemployment courtesy of a struggling mining industry, my husband took a residential job in Mount Isa. I made the tough decision to stay in Brisbane.
Our lifestyle is definitely unconventional and not for everyone. But this is our normal and we make it work.
How do we do it? Routine and structure! Google Calendar and Asana are my go to organisation tools. We don’t sweat the small stuff and focus on what’s important. Something in your life ain’t working? Find another way. I hate cooking and it just seems pointless cooking for myself. Riley’s food preferences are also pretty limited to complicate things. So HelloFresh is my new best friend (use this link and get $35 of your first box!).
And there are perks to the lifestyle! Riley and I love having breakfast with Daddy in the Qantas Club Lounge before we see him off.
So what’s your normal and how do you make it work?
