Recently, I had my family over for a dinner party. My Mum, Dad, Aunty, Sister, Brother in law and their 2 Rug Rats were all attending. It was my first dinner party in my new home and I’ll be honest- I think it’s the first dinner party I've hosted for my family...ever! The build up was… Continue reading A cup of tea on the porch…

That smile…
It’s happened before, many times actually. When I would watch the sun come up or go down over Fisherman’s beach in Mornington. When I approached a large mountain I had to walk up in the middle of the Spanish hills on my Camino. It happened frequently when I held my precious nieces and nephews in… Continue reading That smile…
Keep it Real… Estate
What are the filters you select when researching a new property? Whether renting, buying or simply stalking nice properties in your desired location- what are your filters? How many bathrooms? How many bedrooms? Dishwasher? A bath, is that a must? A backyard? Maybe a low maintenance garden with mostly pebbles not grass? A red front… Continue reading Keep it Real… Estate
Cart in front of the horse
I remember reading in one of the many ‘self help’ books I bought in my first few years of being a social worker, ‘that sometimes we need to put the cart in front of the horse’! Is your face doing what mine did? A screw your nose up, eye roll, puzzled and confused WTF look?… Continue reading Cart in front of the horse

Always look at the GREY side of life
I bought this colourful cardigan not too long ago, and even as I was swiping my ING splurge bank card I was unsure if I liked it or not?! It’s full of vibrant colours- burnt orange and baby blue go together so nicely don't you think? It stood out to me cause it was different… Continue reading Always look at the GREY side of life
More than just a Night Club!
Let me take you down the road from my house, about 250 meters on the right, to a place called Beaches! If you walk past this venue during the day, it will be locked up with the bar stools sitting on top of the long wooden tables, and scattered signs on the window saying things… Continue reading More than just a Night Club!
Flirting with the RED Line
I have been writing this piece in my head for almost 2 weeks. It just hasn’t felt baked. I tried to just forget about it, but the idea of ‘Flirting with the red line’ has not left me alone, so here goes... It was week 4 of my 12-week transformation boot camp and at around… Continue reading Flirting with the RED Line
Grumpy Pants!
She looks about 2.5 years old. She’s got her hair in 2 piggy tails with purple bobbles, a stripped dress on and a frown that could turn a smile 🙂 upside down 😦 It’s Saturday morning and this little Miss cutey woke up with her grumpy pants/dress ON!! As she stomps down the Main street… Continue reading Grumpy Pants!
Permission Granted
8 years ago on the 11th Feb… I left for South East Asia with one of me besties Kate. Kate had a return flight and a lovely boyfriend (now husband) waiting for her back home, and I had a one-way ticket, and a teddy bear from my mum- symbolic of all those at home who… Continue reading Permission Granted
