I am very humbled to have received an award from Anna @annaeddins. It’s my first one and it’s pretty exciting. The Leibster Award is an award given to new bloggers for encouragement on a job well done so far……It’s an interesting …
Our New Best Friend
We bought a new coffee machine! Seriously, it was time….. the old one was killing us slowly. We had a system to limp our way to coffee in the mornings but man….. we worked for our morning coffee. Some days I just gave up and went to Starbucks!
The 10 Best Things About Autumn
Autumn… or Fall , why is it called Fall? What was wrong with Autumn? I know leaves fall in Autumn but why? We don’t call winter Snow or Summer Sweat do we… I don’t understand 🙂 Anyway Autumn is a beautiful time of year.
Save Me from the Junk Food and Other Crazy Hormonal Ramblings
I’m out of control, that’s it–I need an intervention. Someone needs to come and save me. I can’t stop eating junk! Up until now I have been going really well with paleo eating, avoiding all the bad things, cooking well, eating well. I have the occasional nibble at something naughty.

The Art of the Simple Birthday Party
We had a birthday party to attend today, it was early, it was Saturday. It was my nightmare. The venue was right in the neighbourhood. The original plan of mini golf…… buses and trains away, was changed seeing as the weather was turing nasty later on. I was secretly pleased. Is that mean? Was I being a grouch?
The Aging Face and the Youthful Heart
It’s my birthday today and although I’m happy to grow another year older and I’m not really concerned with my onward march through middle age, I do see the years catching up in the mirror. I see my mum and my grandmother looking back at me in different parts of my face. It’s funny how that works. One day it’s …
