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…

Declutter time!
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…

Love music? Check out these speakers by SONOS!
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…
I still have him… just for a little bit longer
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…

That 2015 word – perseverance
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…

New ideas, a new notebook
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……
I just want to be…
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…
When a change of scenery is needed
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…
