I recently spent the weekend in Perth. My best friend is pregnant and one of her friends organised a baby shower. It was beautifully set up. Anyway, I’m getting rather ahead of myself as this post is about the whole weekend away, not just the baby shower. Although that was a definite highlight. Warning Picture Heavy Post!!! First things first - my flight was delayed. But only by half an hour, so not so bad. Read more

Scrivener. What is it? Why am I writing a post about it? Well, here’s the thing. I was getting myself ready for Nanowrimo. Doing a bunch of research and naturally just happened upon this pretty piece of software. I was able to download a Nanowrimo specific trial version and I am in love. I feel organised (enough) and motivated. So my post is a little list of the things I love and how I have used Scrivener to set up my Nano novel. Read more

So I feel like a really bad person as it’s been almost 2 months since I’ve written a post. I wanted to discuss Nanowrimo with you today. Nanowrimo stands for - National Novel Writing Month. I first heard of it about 6 years ago and brushed it off casually. Since then I’ve started a few novel projects, get 20-30,000 words in and then hit a block and stop. Basically in the month of November you aim to write 50,000 words of a novel. Read more

So for those that follow my instagram, you have already seen these outfits. And for those that follow my facebook page you’ve seen a sneak preview of outfit 1. One of my most recent posts was about my capsule wardrobe. In this post I will show you 10 different outfits using my new capsule wardrobe. Only a fraction of my clothes were worn and I had a mix of work days, casual days, and temperatures in the last week and a half. Read more

So my 10 year high school reunion is coming up and that makes you look back at all of your achievements and judge your own life. I’m super happy with where I am now and a lot of what I have done over the last 10 years so I thought I would post my top 10 achievements. These are listed in no particular order as I think they are all wonderful and fun achievements. Read more

So I started looking into capsule wardrobes when I started researching Hong Kong. Sam and I are planning on travelling there later next year and knowing me, I started making lists and doing research. Whilst doing my research and looking up travel clothing lists I came across capsule wardrobes. I thought it was wonderful and simple and just like the bullet journals I realised it is how Sam organises his wardrobe already. Read more

So for my birthday I received an amazing kitchenaid mixer in fire engine red and I love it! I was pretty eager to use it and stumbled across this recipe here. It is amazing. I wasn’t sure at first about the quantity of peanut butter but it was perfect. Obviously with us being in Australia I changed it from 350f to 175c and I didn’t have an ice-cream scoop so I just used two soup spoons and shaped the dough into rounds then pressed down on it lightly.

I’ve been meaning to write this one up for ages. I’ve had the project finished and hanging in Poppy’s bedroom since before she was born. I had honestly forgotten I had the photos until I went through and cleaned up my phone recently. This is something that is really easy, fun and versatile. I have a Disney puzzle as I am a huge Disney fan. But any puzzle can be saved and displayed this way. Read more

The future of Dungeons and Dragons… literally. Many years have passed, and you now role play in a futuristic galaxy with aliens, monsters, starships and a variety of planets. The things that haven’t changed is your dungeon crawling, looting and battles. Our group have recently changed to starfinder after almost a year of playing the same characters from my last D&D blog post. We still love them but it was time for a change. Read more

So when I first started this blog one of my first posts was about my bucket list. I thought I would revisit this and see what I’ve done in the last two years. The list was as follows and the things I’ve completed are crossed out. Some things aren’t relevant anymore either and won’t make the new list. Visit every single Disneyland See Japan Sky Dive Get matching tattoos with my mum Adopt a pet See the northern lights Experience New Year’s Eve in a different country Create a Reading Nook Make a difference Laugh Start a Family Starting a family is the thing I wanted most and something I didn’t expect as soon but couldn’t be happier.
