Defining My Lifestyle
I posted a few days ago about my conundrum about combining my blogs. I have a few ideas mulling wildly around in my head and I would like to thank everyone who replied – you all gave such thoughtful & considerate responses. I love the blogging community! Of course, once you start thinking about […]
Laugh Link: Opinions
If you publicly state your employer on twitter, it seems that it’s policy to have a disclaimer saying “opinions are my own”. Which always makes me wonder how incredibly lame the employer is. I know, I know. It’s a disclaimer. It’s someone covering their ass. And we all have to do that these […]
WIN – Brisbane Good Food & Wine Show 2014
Happy Saturday afternoon!! I have some great news to share today for any Brisbane foodies – the Good Food and Wine Show is on next weekend. I went along last year and did a cooking class where I learned some great tips. You can read the post here. This year I’ve been […]
To Combine Or Not To Combine?

Look outside & see the world through something that’s not an Instagram filter. Take a day per week “off”. While I don’t disagree that being attached to your phone makes […]
Scary Daylight Savings
I live in Queensland. Which is great for the fact that I live by the beach and get some fantastic storms with light shows throughout the summer. The bad part is that the sun comes up very, very early. And we don’t have daylight savings. And all the reasons we don’t have it are strange. […]
How to Keep a Hobby As A Hobby
Kelly’s post on “wasting time” with a creative hobby reminded me of my failed crafting attempts. It probably all started as I really started to get into Pinterest a year or so ago, and saw ALL THE THINGS I could make or do. The problem (for lack of a better word) is that I […]
Busyness Competitions
Inspired by this post on Raising Master Max As Cherie mentioned, there seems to be this need to one-up people or compete about how busy you are. To me, there are two main aspects to busyness: Venting Look, we all need to vent & brain dump every now & again. It’s healthy. […]
