Can I tell you something about my marriage?
We are not perfect. We aren’t even perfect for each other if you get right down to it. But we work. We argue sometimes and laugh a lot. We are committed to open communication and refuse to play games around that. We aren’t experts, there are people who have been together successfully for much longer…

Little Black Peplum Dress {She Wore What}
When I picked up this little black peplum dress at Best and Less the other day, I spent my last $35 on it. That’s how badly I wanted it. Since then I’ve worn it at least three times. Not too bad for just over two weeks of ownership! You know me and the love of…

When the dark closes in…
Lately, it gets dark and my anxiety levels start to rise. I watch the sun set below the the tree-line, casting beautiful pink and orange light and instead of joy, I feel my heart rate pick up. The list of things I din’t manage to get done throughout the day mounts and I start to…

Show Him Some Sugar.
I’ve decided that in February I am going to do one thing every single day that will demonstrate to my husband how much I looooooove him. It’s a sort of tight ass Valentine’s gift. A big gesture to make up for the lean and mean savings period we are in at the moment. But mostly…

Aussie Curves: Purple {She Wore What}
Well, well, so I’m squeezing in with my Aussie Curves post this week. It’s PURPLE week. Fun. Too bad I went and used just about every item of purple clothing I owned for that post the other week. Sheesh, I really need to look ahead in the challenges a little more. But that aside there…

Suger Review {January 2013}
This post contains items that were gifted for content creation purposes. It’s back! No, really, check it out. We’re BACK! I don’t know what it is, but I really didn’t buy anything new in January. Nothing that wasn’t boxes of baby spinach and copious amounts of green vegetable related stuff. That makes for one…

Numpty Baby Shopping.
Last week, before the madness of the weekend arrived, my sister asked me to go with her to the Target Baby Sale to put on a lay-by for the stuff they would need for their impending bubby. Of course, I said yes! She’s my sister and no amount of wanting a baby would keep me from this…

Australia Day Weekend {Pre-Flood}
It was a dreary start to the Australia Day weekend when most of the plans we had were cancelled. Inskip Point was being evacuated, people we were hoping to see weren’t coming any more and there was no sunshine to speak of. Thankfully my brother and sister-in-law went ahead with their party, wet weather and all. Though…

From Zero to Major Flood in One Week.
It seems ridiculous to once again be in my home, confined to my side of the river. I am safe, so are my family and friends; we are well. Family north of here in Bundaberg and Mundubbera are safe and well too. Yesterday, when the notification came through that they expected a major flood event…

Just Like My Mother.
I feel like my mother more than ever as I sit at the kitchen table, books and folios spread out around me everywhere, calculator at my side. She had notebooks for recording, and I had spreadsheets. Not much else has changed. The tennis is on tv; the night is hot despite the lightness of a…
