17 Sundays Knit Tunic {She Wore What}
I actually met the brains behind the 17 Sundays brand in Melbourne when I attended Blogopolis in 2011. We chatted as they dressed my roomie Caitlin for the conference. Their brand got my attention with their knits and attention to detail. To be honest, at first, I thought they were just too funky for me.…

Best Laid Plans
You know that old saying, about best laid plans of mice and men, well that is me. I am the mice and I am the {wo}man. Sure, I can set goals and often achieve them. Sometimes I even manage to work towards something resembling a plan and it works. But as soon as I decided…

A little bit grey.
Well, it went and happened. I expected it a little. For a while now I have been noticing that it’s happening. My hair grows out lighter than it was before. At first, I thought that perhaps it just shows up lighter because of the darker shade I’m wearing it now. I was a natural blonde…

7 Year Itchiness…
7 years into our marriage and I still have to fight him off for a normal couple photo. Such is life. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Like Steve Martin’s character says in Cheaper By the Dozen, we’ve still got the heat! HA. Awkward. Sorry to the family members playing along at…

Mission: Get Out More
Today we visited Kin Kin, Pomona, Boreen Point and a few roads in between. The sky was the bluest of blue. The weather was all kinds of fabulous. GOSH. I love living here. Hubby and I loaded ourselves into the CRZ with less than a quarter of a tank of fuel our Hybrid took us all…

Getting Honest. Being Honest.
Sometimes I sit in cafes and write. The noise of the people and the rush of the crowd lull me into a quiet in my head that gets me focused on what is real for me. The bottom of the barrel of me. The reality, the truth. I explore how I really feel and what…
