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 …
Brought to you by Always Fresh. Today I wanted to introduce you to the new ‘Mediterranean Deli’ range by Always Fresh, a collection of authentic antipasto mixes. We've been trialling them at home and I can honestly say these goodies are delicious. This range includes traditional favourite antipasto mixes which have been thoughtfully produced in …
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 …
My big boy turned 13 last week and this year he went off to high school. Things are changing around here. There's been a noticeable shift in the dynamics of our house. The routine is different, his clothes are different, he wears the same size shoe as his Dad... actually everything just feels different around …
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 …
I've always seen words as colours. I thought every one did and I started to google it's meaning but there is only a Wikipedia definition (Grapheme–color synesthesia) and not much else. I am sure this is not so rare. I wouldn't say I have a 'condition' haha! But I do think it's weird it seems …
I went to bed last night tired and drifted off easily. Then a child woke me about 20 minutes later to tell me he couldn't sleep. Thanks for that. So of course then I couldn't get back to sleep and my mind kept wandering... I started to think stupid things... as you do. In the …
A song came on yesterday which took my back to being 19 years old. It's funny how music reminds you of places/times/people/feelings... In that flash back to being 19 years old, for a moment, I wished I was back there. I was at Uni in Canberra living with friends. They were fun days. I had …
Over the long weekend we took off on a little mini-break with 3 other families...We headed to Batemans Bay for some camping/fishing/drinking/beach fun. I didn't get lucky and catch any fish this time, but the boys caught 3 flat-head which we cooked up on the bbq. I jumped out of bed early every morning …
