I was lazily flicking through blog posts this morning before crawling out of bed when I came across this post by one of my favourite bloggers, Jenny Lawson aka The Bloggess. A lot of people were discussing how it helps to have a go-to page to help them through depression, to see if they can […]

Twitter Chats & Growing Your Readership
Have I told you how much I love twitter chats about blogging? It’s a lot. My favourite one to participate in is the weekly Blog Trends chat. It’s on Monday nights (9pm EST), US time, which is about midday Tuesday here in Australia (depending on where you are in Australia). The Blog Trends chat kicks […]
How To Reorganise Your Pinterest Boards
Reorganising (or reorganizing if you’re visiting my site from America!) your Pinterest boards is a huge task. But it’s well worth it and you can get a lot of value out of it. Reorganising your boards is a task that can take a long time – you can set aside an entire day for […]
Incompetence and Survival Preparation
As the first storms fro 2014 flew in over Brisbane the other week, I came to a realisation about how general incompetence actually goes well with survival preparation. I know. You’re sitting there thinking more along the lines of Darwin Awards rather than survival when you read the word incompetence. But, it does work, and […]
The Spark Has Gone
I spend too much time watching the few TV shows I like. I watch and rewatch the DVDs. I fall asleep to them. But the upside of this is that I know the shows very well. Then things change. A new writer is brought in, perhaps. The show is still funny, still has […]
Feet. Walls. Yoga.
I’ve always put my feet on the walls, fallen backwards off couches and generally liked sitting any way that’s not straight up. (And I have an office based job, sheesh! It’s a wonder I’m as sane as I am.) A few days ago I was flopping around on the bed, uncomfortable & waiting to […]
The Photos We Take
I was messing around taking photos on my iPhone earlier and I got a storage warning. So I figured it was time to go through them and delete some (at least until the new computer is completely up & running with my photo set up). And then I thought I’d share some of the […]
Why I Believe in Education
Traditional education seems to be a touchy topic these days. I know a lot of people are “going alternative” now when it comes to education. I don’t believe this is a bad thing. Homeschooling, unschooling, learning by doing – these are all valuable educational tools. I didn’t come from an impoverished background. We weren’t poor […]
Blogging Goals for 2014
I’ve shied away from talking about New Years Resolutions, word for the year…basically all goals! 2014 will be an interesting year for me, because there is very little in the way of stability around for me this year. That kind of puts me off of making goals because I don’t know how my priorities will […]
Strip Taco
Yep, I invented a game. I’m not really sure how. I wasn’t stripping or eating tacos when I thought it up. It just sort of popped in up there. Strip Taco has been planned and designed* with those people in mind who really love cooking shows. *lies, all lies, this wasn’t planned […]
