{Kodoka} Challenge Accepted
To say I was unprepared for what I would face as part of the support crew for my brother Dean’s attempt at completing the Kokoda Challenge on the Gold Coast this weekend would be an understatement. I sit here, laptop open and ready to report back on the whole thing, and that’s the thought that…

Thermomix Pumpkin and Spinach Risotto
Oh yeah, you read that right. Thermomix Pumpkin and Spinach Risotto. Be still my carb-loving heart. Pumpkin and spinach are my favourite combination of all time, and together in this Thermomix recipe for risotto, it’s a no-brainer. Cheesy and delicious, this is a must have family meal this winter. I made this size batch, and…

Kitted and Knitted Workstyle Outfit
My work style is pretty predictable. Dress, ankle boots. Top, skirt, ankle boots. Top, pants, ankle boots… You get the idea. There’s a lot of ankle boot action, something I credit to the sometimes desk job, sometimes work site nature of my current position. But let’s face it, I need steel caps on site anyway…

We woke before dawn…
We woke before dawn; I could hear them outside my home. The morning air was crisp, and it assisted to carry their voices across the lawn to where I lay attempting to rouse myself enough to stand. “Whos idea was this?” I asked Mr Suger sleepily “we need to have better ideas”. He agreed. Pre-dawn,…

Layered Layers
I’m currently obsessed with Australian Margaret Zhang. You follow her blog or Instagram right? Well heck, if not, get your butt over there. Her images and the way she layers clothing in such unique, fresh ways is something I can’t get enough of. I’m a stalker of her feed, short version, and it’s starting to…

Weekend Textured Monochrome
Mr Suger leaned in, moving forward to run the scratchy palm of his hand along the sleeve of my top (dress). There’s so many different things to touch, he said grinning like a goof-ball. And that my friends is when I knew this post was to be about texture, mixing textures and how monochrome needn’t…

How to coerce, bribe & force your partner to help with your blog
Welcome bloggers to a must read post. How to coerce, bribe and force your partner to help with your blog. Lovingly, of course. I mean lovingly, really I do. We love our partners, friends and family. We love our blogs. So sometimes it’s essential for the two to meet, to interconnect and intertwine. So how…

How to make your own luck in life
How to make your own luck in life is going to be a title that for some people will push their buttons. If you feel a little trampled by luck at the moment, it’s probably annoying to hear that you can make your own. Especially when this post is written by someone like me who for various reasons…

Farmer & Sun Marketplace Cafe
There’s a place not far from our new house that sells fruit and vegetables like you woke up at dawn and visited a farmer’s market as the sun peaks over the horizon. But you know, all day long. That goodness, we all know I’m not a morning person. And that store, Farmer and Sun recently…
