I don’t believe in new years resolutions. By my thinking, if you want to do something, why not just do it? What difference does it make if it’s the first of January or the 20th of September? Approximately none, that’s how much. The only difference is that you and a million other people will likely … Continue reading
Last weekend I was invited to attend a healthy cooking class hosted by simplyhealth, the end result of which was me coming home and having a heated argument lively debate with the other half about eating breakfast. My request for him to try harder to have the most important meal of the day was somehow … Continue reading
Today’s guest post is from Tanny, an Aussie who just happened to end up in Arctic Greenland. Being in a long-distance international relationship can suck, simple as that. There is one cool benefit though: the chance to travel and meet up in new places! The time difference, the midnight phone calls, not to mention just being … Continue reading
According to the Oxford Dictionary the definition of quit is “to leave a place, usually permanently”. In the real world, we tend to use the term “quit” a little more liberally. You can quit smoking (positive), quit whining (also positive), and quit your job (could go either way). Why is it then, that we so … Continue reading
Until recently, I was more of a “make-up for going out and special occasions” kind of gal. Sure, I’d pop mascara on day to day, but foundation? Way too fussy. Lipstick? Wouldn’t know the first thing about it. Define my eyebrows? Could you define “define” please? I’ll admit, I was lazy. Too lazy to learn … Continue reading
Guess what? I’m 6 weeks pregnant. SURPRISE! But even as I write this, I’m not sure I’m going to push the publish button. Maybe I’m better off saving this post for when I’ve cleared this mystical and sacred 12 week scan and there’s a slightly better chance that things will be ok. The thing is, … Continue reading
Around this time every year, I start feeling a little homesick. Summer is over, the days are getting shorter, the winter coat is already out – although I’m still refusing to unpack my knee high boots in a desperate bid to pretend that it’s not really that cold. And just as I’m mourning the loss … Continue reading
I have a confession. I’m getting a quote from a cleaner. As in, a housekeeper-type-cleaner. For regular cleaning of my home. OH THE SHAME. Yes, as it turns out, I am actually willing to pay someone else to do my dirty work. Literally. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had a cleaner before. But that was in … Continue reading
Ciao! This post is coming at you (thanks to the wonders of automatic scheduling) from Sicily, where the hubby and I are currently celebrating our one year wedding anniversary. Thank you, thank you, it’s been a tough ride, but we’ve made it. KIDDING. The toughest thing our marriage has been through this year is deciding … Continue reading
I have two regrets in high school: that I didn’t participate in the annual musical earlier (trust me, brilliant fun, make your kids get involved even if they can’t sing!) that I didn’t study modern history In fairness, ancient history was great – but having now visited most of the countries with ancient ruins still … Continue reading
Laugh Lots, Travel Often
