And the Husband got to choose... There are three humans in our household and, as majority rules, the husband is usually outnumbered when it comes to decisions regarding where we eat. (Actually, me and the kid pretty much call rank on everything ha ha). Last weekend we let him choose our Saturday lunch destination and... Continue Reading →
January, it's pretty much done... right? How many of you had good intentions, resolutions and goals? How many of you have blinked through the longest yet shortest of Januarys and started none of it? Let's high five shall we! And let's forgive ourselves. February is a much more entertaining month to kick off our self... Continue Reading →
October, so far, has whizzed by in a flash of academic starts and questionable politics. It has been a month that I feel has gone on without me, has appreciated how busy I am and continued on its merry way of passing days. But now the days are getting shorter, darker and colder, I need... Continue Reading →

I've been trapped indoors, finding a new distaste for coffee and wishing I could make it all better for my wobbling child.

Sorry, not sorry. I was not going to let a... Continue Reading →

Last weekend is a spark of inspiration we decided to cook our own lunch. Get in us! That lunch... Continue Reading →
My last post detailed how I would be looking forward in 2022, my intentions to be grateful and gracious. January has been a wrecking ball, scathing all who lived it and all who had hoped for a better year. I have witnessed weakness and strength so far this year, both brave and both important to...

The first week of every year always starts with the same theme, and for me that theme is reflection. I spend hours procrastinating, considering all the plans I didn't achieve and the goals I failed to meet. I look back at the previous year with a sense of disappointment rather than taking the time to... Continue Reading →
I like to have a go at most things, especially arty inspired tasks. Christmas 2020 brought me a wonderful Glass Ink pen set with a whole range of striking colours. Glass and Ink A glass pen is a new way of working for me. When I usually add ink to a project it is done... Continue Reading →
