The Tortoise and the Rising Star
Now my blog is at a lovely level at the moment. I’m in a tier {great wordage Blogopolis roomies, thanks} that suits me down to the ground. I’m not a super star with all the added pressure and accolades. But people read my blog and I get offered opportunities and all that jazz. But mine…

Black and shades of grey {She Wore What}
Most days I wear black. And a little more black. It’s a corporate sort of environment. Real Estate Agents can take themselves very seriously indeed. this outfit I put together for work and added the belt and necklace to take it out to dinner afterwards. A simple transition, so simple I’d forgotten to remove my…

Taking your blogging mobile.
Life happens and sometimes you need to pack up your blog and take it on the road. Luckily on the market there are endless things that will help you get mobile, tablets, apps, mobile devices out the nose. I like to keep it fairly simple and travel light. Especially for the times when I just…

Soooooooo tired.
There is something pretty darn horrendous about 4.30am. Even setting the alarm for 4.35am doesn’t make it any better. Throw in a bad night sleep and it’s about as bad as it gets. You know, first world problems wise. And if like me you’re a sad excuse for a morning person then all you will…

Thai Chicken and Pumpkin Noodle Soup
This one is a family favourite. We make it by the large pot full and freeze it when we just can’t eat any more of it. It’s a simple chicken soap base with lots of Thai flavours added. I do this usually by using the Gourmet Garden Thai herb mix as a base and…

The day my Mother almost ran me over. Otherwise known as today.
Today my Mother and I were on one of our real estate adventures in the rain. We were out taking photos of new listings that just could not wait any longer for a sunny day to have their photos taken. My shoes were wet and there was a squelch to my clothes. Photo-taking in the rain is fun. Not.…

Curse the rain.
The days are cold and wet around here at the moment. So cold that according to the weather outlook it will be warmer to be in Sydney than to stay here in sunny Queensland. Given that I feel like days of sunshine are few and far between you’ll forgive me if I scoff at the…

Madly Packing
I promised last week that I would share with you a little of what I’m packing for my couple of days away at Blogopolis. I called in the troops and we planned out a few outfits. My problem is always that I pack dozens and dozens of options and end up forgetting an item or…

Husband Relations
When my parents told me marriage is a negotiation of sorts, I thought they meant I had to learn to share as I’d never shared before. They kind of did. But I never imagined they suggested I’d have to learn to speak Husband. That strange language of the coupled gent, the shed dweller. The beard…

Just Hanging Out {She Wore What}
Most days of the weekend and well into the weekend you will find me in something like this. Comfortable, cosy {cool if the season permits} and classic. I love a good stripe, as you know. I find that the longer line of this blouse means that even if I have a big lunch, or my…
