Hello Sunday morning. I’m sitting in bed in my friend Ash’s spare room, surrounded by vintage floral; the sun pouring in and Tom beside me. We have been home for nearly a month and it has completely flown by. A week up at Peregian with my family was well needed. I couldn’t tell you how [...]
I’m an avid journaller. It’s now coming to the point where we need to pack up all our stuff in the next few weeks and start long term travelling again and the thing that I always find hard is what to do with my journals. I accumulate so many and they are so important to [...]
Apprently there is a Japanese word ‘aware’ (ah-wah-reh) which means fleeting moments of fading beauty. According to Frankie it refers to that sad, bittersweet feeling when something is so good that you don’t want it to finish.

Yesterday was the first day of a well needed 3 day weekend for me. Tommy is not as lucky unfortunately and is at the start of an 8 day week, he even had to cycle to work in the cold just after 6 this morning as the metros don’t run that early on a Sunday. [...]

Friendship needs no translation. Sometimes all you need is a night in with a lovely girl, a bit of Heath action and some wine. A bit of nail painting, dream sharing and you have yourself one awesome girls night in. If that wasn’t enough beauty for you, here are a few shots of my beautiful [...]
Sunday afternoon at my favourite French brasserie.
Early in January I started thinking about how we should celebrate Australia Day on the other side of the world. 7 years ago I spent Australia Day in Canada and that was a lot of fun with all our Canadian friends. Looking back at all the celebrations since then I realized that I have spent [...]
Before she jetted off home for a well needed break in the sun, Kirsten and I spent some time with Charlotte eating at cute cafes and riding the streets of Rotterdam. She took us to Hubshop, the very cute little store that she owns with her Swedish boy. Packed full of goodness this place has [...]
Blogging appears to have become a casualty of me going back to work full time. Getting up at 6.30am and getting home at 7pm is taking it’s toll and after a week and a half I am only just getting my groove back. It’s actually really good timing that Tom’s new job doesn’t start until [...]
