  • Our baby isn’t a baby anymore

    I realised how long I’ve been writing this blog when I saw my pregnancy announcement. How have 10 years passed in the blink of an eye. The literal blink of an eye. The baby who we bought tiny Converse for nearly 10 years ago, now has feet that are nearly as big as mine. The…

  • Happy Lunar New Year!

    Gong xi fa cai. It’s the Year of the Fire Horse which is meant to be amazing and life changing and all sorts of other things!  A year of transformation, fire, speed, inspiration, breakthroughs and travel. I say BRING IT ON!  Maybe I’m being overly optimistic, or maybe I’ve just been watching too many instagram…

  • Tres Leches What???

    So this week was The Runner’s birthday, and of course I made a cake.  Now, one of The Runner’s favourite things to do is to come up with extremely random ideas for dinner, cakes, or basically anything else that he doesn’t have to cook himself- which is 99.9% of what we eat at home.  About…

  • Back to school, back to reality….

    Summer holidays are officially over- for some at least!  Last week, The Child started Year 4.  Year 4 seems like a big deal- I mean it didn’t at first but now it suddenly does.  It feels like the last year of being a kid, and the first step towards becoming a tween.  He’s no longer…

  • It’s the MOST wonderful time of the year….

    …nope not Christmas.  Thanksgiving.   Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday of all time of the whole year.  It’s not typically celebrated in Australia, but I love celebrating it.  This year is no different.  We (I) am hosting a Thanksgiving Potluck for a few American friends.  I’m doing the turkey and corn casserole (and mash potatoes)everyone is…

  • They’re spicy…I like it.

    I’m in week 2 of my spring break and I’m leaning into it a bit.  It’s a bit of a weird break but it’s good. I’m enjoying the downtime and getting a bit done too.  The best thing about having time off is Monday morning pole classes.  I’m feeling really fit, healthy, and a bit…
