Birthdays are completely awesome! (52 Blessings - Week 42)

What an awesome birthday!! I have been completely spoiled by my friends and family and it has been certainly a birthday I will remember fondly. There was no big huge birthday bash, just a small BBQ with friends and family but it was nice to have that time together to catch up and celebrate. I [...]

Pink Me Up! (52 Blessings - Week 40)

So it’s October and the big day for the Pink Ribbon Breakfast is fast approaching. This year’s breakfast will have a little extra meaning for me. I am incredibly grateful that I still have my mum with me and I will continue to hope that the cancer stays gone for good.

Early last week, one of our fish tanks (unfortunately the largest one) fractured down the side and ended up causing a minor flood in that area of our house. Fortunately for the fish, my other half was home at the time and rescued all the fish, promptly finding them a new home in a plastic [...]

The reluctant weekend warrior (52 Blessings - Week 35)

Way back in May, I was doing my best to not look like a tourist on the boardwalk of Sydney Harbour. While I was sauntering along enjoying the dismal overcast weather (note subtle undertone of sarcasm here) that Sunday morning, I stopped to take a snap of the French Connection UK store front.
I’m not a [...]
