Is it just me?
What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? Or, like me, do you feel like you’re asking this question every time you go to the supermarket? Everything is more expensive than it once was, and these days, it’s harder to make a budget meal that’s healthy, interesting (not the… Continue reading

Go with your gut

Right here, right now
Describe one habit that brings you joy. Blogging. I’m all in. I’m on a 30-day streak and finding so much delight in taking a few minutes every day to sit and reflect. Writing. Reading. Liking.

A work in progress
How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you? Beautiful inside and out. A couple of flaws, but I’m a work in progress, so comfortable with where I’m at. Funny. If I’d been asked that a couple of years ago, I wouldn’t have been so quick or confident to respond like that. But… Continue reading

Times, they are a changin’
What traditions have you not kept that your parents had? Remember back in the day when the shops closed at 12 noon on a Saturday. During winter, my parents would buy the large weekend broadsheet newspaper, a couple of pies, and relax in front of the television and heater to watch the football ‘game of… Continue reading

Jam packed…
Was today typical? If exploring new places is typical, then yes. Today was one of those amazing Sundays. Getting in a car with our besties. Heading out and seeing where the day takes us. Hundreds of kilometres to a destination unknown. Catching some rays, soaking in some fresh air, exploring ruins, discovering an unfamiliar conservation… Continue reading
