No, they’re not characters from a children’s story– although I am Slightly obsessed with Punch the Monkey this week. There’s something about him that is both sweet and sad, vulnerable and hopeful, banal and inspiring. He’s uniquely human, but also a monkey. It’s all very cute and very 2020s internet…

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…

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…

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…

…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…

I don’t know if it’s all the cookies or if time is actually moving faster, but this has been the quickest year ever. It’s November- NOVEMBER!!! I forgot to write last week because despite not working, I’ve actually been SUPER busy. Last week, I made the Gojuchang Cookies again…

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…
