I don't know where this year (in particular) has actually gone. I know I probably say that all the time, but I really do not know how I got to November. I am not ready for the Christmas hype. I am still trying to recover from a looong Winter. I read something the other day about making …
Halfway through last Summer we got a pool put in. We have a very small space to work with and the shape of our yard was on an angle. I wrote about that process of deciding where to the put the pool here. We also had to put a small retaining wall around the pool. …
It's been a wet and cold few months here in Wagga. I have spent too much time inside and on the computer. There's not much else to do! I need a change desperately. So I started to write a list of all the things I can look forward to... This is knowing that the warm …
Never before have we been so familiar and surrounded by "decorating themes/styles". The online world is very visual and Instagram is the go-to place for the keen designer or decorator. I follow a lot of awesome people on Instagram and some homes are amazing! I see a lot of decorating themes which are prominent throughout …
Obviously I am loving a bit of raw timber around my home at the moment. I used to love lots of white furniture but lately I've been sanding it back and switching it for a more natural look. Ask me again in a couple of years what I like because I am always changing my …

I've been feeling the urge for a few weeks now... and the end of the school holidays confirmed it - it's declutter time around here. The change in the weather did it for me yesterday. I pulled every single item of clothing out of my boy's bedrooms and starting culling and passing them down. It …

Recently I was sent 2 x PLAY:1 speakers by Sonos to review. We are huge lovers of music in our home and we've always got something playing. I was THAT excited when these little speakers turned up on my door step. I could not wait to get them up and going. I love my tech …
Hi there! Today I thought I'd catch you up on what's been going on in my world with Crohn's disease... and I'm pleased to say not a lot is happening with it at the moment! You know I have shared a lot about my low moments thanks to this disease but I thought it would …
I picked a word for this year "perseverance". I wrote about it here. I wanted to make 2015 not about trying to re-invent the wheel, but rather work hard at what I already know I can do. I've had a rough January. I did not feel my best emotionally and it wasn't due to any …
Here we are at September! Here's what happened on my blog that month... We tiled our back verandah (and boy it's changed only in a few months... I'll show you that in the New Year!)... I wrote about sitting with your thoughts for a while... I wrote about my friend having breast cancer at 30... …
