This is a long one today! If you have a chronic illness then you know you just can’t escape it. It’s with you forever, and it will show up day after day. It’s like a job you hate, but you are stuck with it. I have a 16 year old…
Browsing CategoryA day in my life
How much time do I spend on my blog each day?
If you’re a blogger, I bet you get asked all the time how long do you spend on that blog every day? Yep, that’s a question I feel myself answering lots! I am pretty consistent and have found a routine that works. I try not to waiver from that too…
The end of term 3
I don’t know what it is, but this past school term has been a big battle. Over the last 6 months there’s been a huge shift in the balance and flow in my house because my boys are changing and growing. If you think little kids are hard work, then…
Around here lately
Hi there! Thanks for popping in today. Here’s my usual photo dump and catch up on what’s been happening around here lately… I found this mirror above for $80 on a buy swap sell page and painted it black. I thought this was a great bargain! My husband put blue…
When you feel like things aren’t going fast enough
I couldn’t put my finger on this feeling I’ve had for the past 2 weeks. I’ve felt a bit anxious, nauseous even, and my heart has been racing a few times. I just feel like I’m always in a rush – to nowhere actually. I feel like I need things…
Debunking myths and common thoughts on essential oils
If you’ve smelt flowers, an orange skin, a pine tree, then at some point you’ve already been exposed to an essential oil. Essential in terms of “essence” – the smell – not meaning “necessary”. I find myself being drawn to the benefits of nature’s medicine after many years of chronic…
Around here lately
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today. July was a month of birthday’s, confirmation and a lot of sitting in the car watching the boys play sport (freezing!). When your baby catches a lobster! How is this one going to be in high school next year too??? 2 faces I…
Around here lately
This is a HUGE photo dump today! I realise it’s been weeks and weeks since I did an ‘Around here lately’ post! So today I am loading up all the photos. I do love to keep a record of what’s been happening. I take so many photos everyday and can’t…
Around here lately
G’day! How has your week been? I’ve been doing some social media work for a couple of companies, plus interior design consults and writing on my blog this week. It’s been filled with lost of different daily activities and I’ve enjoyed the challenges. Mixing it all up has been good…
Around here lately
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! I’ve been a busy little bee. SOOOO much activity but it’s all good. The last couple of months has been good to me, and I am truly bloody grateful. Lots of opportunities have come my way. Next week I’m starting a social media gig…
Quotes to embrace change
Usually I am not in to quotes (unless they are funny or sarcastic!). I can generally take them or leave them. But every now and I then I see a few and lock them away in my memory. I might see one I really resonate with and read it a…
Around here lately
Hi there! I must get back to my weekly photo dump because after a few weeks away from it I have tonnes of photos to share as usual. I send all my photos to the cloud from my phone otherwise I’d run out of storage. But there are now thousands…
Don’t burst my bubble
I’m rambling today and it may not make sense but here we go with my thoughts in bullet point (because I wrote as they just landed on the page)… There’s no pity party required, but I think I’ve been doing it pretty tough the past couple of years. If…
What are you doing for YOU?
If you come here often you’ll be sick of me banging on about myself and my dreary health struggles… but I promise I am not being a downer today. No more of that happening here in my little house in Wagga Wagga. I am waking up every day feeling happier…
Around here lately
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today. Last time I did a catch up was about 2 weeks ago and I’d not long had my surgery. I thought I’d pop in and catch you up on how I’m going one month on with my new colostomy bag and share some…
