We sometimes seem to live in a world where everything has a label and has to mean something for everyone. I think it's really important to work out what something means TO YOU more than what label society gives it. 'Family' is one of those labels. Caught up with so many connotations, life experiences, and human behaviour, everything stems from where we begin. In a family. These days the definition of family extends past mother, father, child. It is so much… Read more »
Last week I mentioned how things have been lately. To be honest, not much has changed in the past week and the lack of posting has been because these two lovely ladies came to visit me: It was amazing spending three days with my mum and sister. We talked a lot, ate a lot, and just spent good, quality time together. I don't know if this is a 'most families' thing or a 'my family' thing (we're a bit strange)… Read more »
It's inevitable, upon returning from a trip home or when family and friends visit me in Sydney, that I then spend the next few days (weeks, etc) with the Back From Brisbane Blues. I can't help it, my chest aches with recent memories of the special people in my life who live there that I get the chance to see when I go home. It's as if no time has passed and distance means nothing, a true testament to the… Read more »
I can't even begin to explain what kind of week this has been! I will say it has involved talking to a stripper and a dwarf, being abused over the phone by the worst person in customer service ever, sweet talking my way through pretty much everything, a bit too much BS for my general liking, lots of coffee and chocolate, these lifesaving cookies, and general wedding drama (not mine, don't panic). I'm glad it's Friday, isn't that an understatement…. Read more »
So May is over and it's nearly time for a new month and season. Here's what I got up to this month: I watched: I listened to: The weather got cold in Sydney: I drank: I got to spend some time with some lovely ladies: I tried to get motivated: I read (and fell in love with) Saved By Cake by Marian Keyes – there's still time to enter my super cake-tastic giveaway: … Read more »
I'm running a bit behind this week, but never fear, that's just how I roll sometimes! My favourite things for this week are: Getting to spend time with my mum and grandma all week! I love this post on VIv's blog, Oh Shoot, about facing your photography fears. This image is incredible: Source: rimelneffati.com via Katherine on Pinterest My favourite song for the week is Lisa Mitchell's Spiritus. It makes me feel cheery! Everyone is talking about and posting,… Read more »
I hope you had a great weekend! This is going to be short and sweet but I wanted to tell you about two exciting things are taking place this week in my world. Firstly, my mum and grandma have come to visit for the week. Outside of Skype, I don't get to see them very often and we're having a great time just spending time together and touring some of my favourite Sydney spots. (This is one that we just… Read more »
I've never really thought about it before, but death is the only thing in life that is certain and yet it still is the one thing that, inevitably, will shake even the toughest to their core and weaken even the strongest resolve. I hate to bring up such morbid subject so early in the new year but, to be honest, it is something I have been thinking about a lot lately. In November, I mentioned that I had rushed home… Read more »
Firstly, Happy New Year! It feels nice to say goodbye to 2011 and I have my heart set on big things for 2012! I love a new year, it feels so fresh and full of hope. Being the sentimental fool I tend to be, I wanted to reflect a bit on 2011 before I start on the new year. Here are some of the happy moments because there have been some not so amazing times this year, but these are… Read more »
