A life that I designed
I don’t ask for much. Not really. Just a life of my own making, filled with opportunities like yesterday afternoon sunbathing; I sit and watch the trees in my backyard shake their leaves gently in the wind. Green and gold, brown and yellow. Imagining what it would be like to see those trees drop their…

The Vegas Re-Wedding
This year Hubby and I have been married for 9 years. Our anniversary in August is creeping up on us and will be here before we know it. Instead of talking love and sharing and relationships again today I’m sharing something else… Something that we have been cooking up for a while now. It is…

When you can’t see the forest for the trees.
I was chatting on Skype {thank you reasonable internet, I love you} to Lisa and Sam in Italy. Sam was heading off to collect the kids from school for lunch, Lisa was brimming with good health and excitement over her recent enrollment in B-School. We waved Sam off and started to talk about it. She…

Thirty-One today!
Today is my birthday. You might have heard. I’m hardly low-key about the whole thing. I like to celebrate, what can I say. And celebrating myself and getting another year older, well heck yes I am in for THAT especially. I don’t fear getting older. The opposite in fact, my fear is that my time…

Parallel Universe Us
You wrecked ’em, I squealed as hubby kisses my face rubbing his nose on the glass of my sunglasses leaving smudges. I realise that actually that sounds a lot like you rectum and I laugh. And that’s about how my day at the beach with hubby went. We laughed a lot. Lazed around. I drank…

Okay. So the title may have been a wee bit misleading. Haha. This is NOT a Christmas story. This is a story about a boy who loves Hungry Jack’s frozen blue flavoured Fanta thingies and his wife. Thankfully. It’s a tale of a blogger who was loved very much. And the man she loved. Me…

Beautiful Lengths Pop-up Salon
I’ve always been really interested in the shave for a cure and beautiful lengths ideas. What it would take for a woman to hand over her hair for another is something a bit special indeed. I’ve known women who have shaved their head in response to disease and trauma. There isn’t one of them who…

How to incorporate exercise into your life.
Over the weekend, when I was once again neglecting my blog for other life and laziness type things I asked for post ideas. Kasia W suggested I write about how to incorporate exercise into your daily life. I was like, heck YES, I can do that. I have LOTS to say on that. There are…

Are muscles the new hipbones?
In the nineties it was all about being the thinnest version of yourself. Collar bones, hip bones, ribs. the more bone on display the better. Addict chic and all that. Bit by bit over the past decade we have rallied against it. Rallied against the unrealistic expectation that is the ability of all woman to…

Suit of Armour.
I was reading a biography years ago about a successful business woman in the late eighties working in the music industry. The name of the woman and the book both elude me now. The heroine of the book, in a way I’m sure was common then {now?}, donned a suit of armour to face her predominantly hostile…
