Living better, but with less
Grief does strange things to us. It is incredible how great sadness causes normal life and living to go completely out the window. Sadly I experienced a death in the family earlier this year and it wasn’t until now that I feel ready to share and highlight some of the things I experienced from a…

I can’t believe it’s already February in 2023! Time is going by so quickly and that being said, now is the best time to try and get organised for the year. One of the things I always do at the start of every year is make my list of gifts. That is, a list of…

I’m ashamed. I let life get on top of me a little bit, I’ve updated my wardrobe and I haven’t cleared anything out. I’m now struggling to close drawers and find things in my heaving wardrobe.

Having completed our bathroom renovation recently, we have now turned our minds towards the kitchen. Our laminate cupboards are peeling, the self lighting gas stove no longer self lights and the oven is falling out of the wall (legit). It’s time. But, it’s also going to take some time too. When we went through the…

A few days ago, I decided to finally get rid of a book I’d been holding onto for about six months (probably more if I’m honest but time goes so quickly it’s hard to keep track). I tried a number of times to sit and read this particular book, but couldn’t seem to get into…

Apparently in Australia, the average bathroom renovation costs upwards of $10,000. I’m talking the entire gut job, replace everything, the works. And that’s a small bathroom. My husband and I live in an older home (30 plus years to be more exact) and the bathroom has for some time needed to be completely redone. Everything…
