Well I’ve finished my 52 Blessings challenge from last year but I’ve kind of gotten used to blogging on a Sunday, or at least having a regular weekly reason to blog. I was thinking of continuing on with the 52 Blessings thing but the well was running pretty dry by Week 52. Against my better [...]
At work, we often talk about getting our “miracle a week”, or at least that’s our aim. Being the last week of the year, I was dubious that I would be able to take a photo of this particular miracle in time for it to be one of my 52 Blessings. At the end of [...]
I decided that because I can’t cook cakes or cupcakes and any form of icing turns out to be a sloppy goopy mess resembling dessert sauce, I would try my hand at cookies. I love cookies and I figured that it would probably be cheaper if I made my own when I felt like them. [...]
I have a confession to make. I have an addiction that I feed almost daily….and it’s all Barbara’s fault! She came to the Pink Ribbon Breakfast a month ago and introduced me to mixing sour cream with Tang and using it as a fruit dip. Like some others I’ve since tried to introduce it to, [...]
I’ve started my new job this week and so far, so good! I’m enjoying the regular daylight hours and the return to some kind of routine in my life. One of the benefits of having regular work hours is that I’m now home every single night of the week to have dinner with my other [...]

Remember the great fish tank flood from a few weeks ago? For those coming late in the game, our tropical fish tank suddenly cracked and we ended up having to house our fish in a plastic storage tub for a few weeks until our new tank was ready to be picked up from the aquarium [...]
So it’s October and the big day for the Pink Ribbon Breakfast is fast approaching. This year’s breakfast will have a little extra meaning for me. I am incredibly grateful that I still have my mum with me and I will continue to hope that the cancer stays gone for good. Considering I have not [...]
I think I have contracted a nasty virus – it’s called biting off more than you can chew! When I first moved here six years ago, the block was in appalling shape. My other half had already bought the land and had a house built, put in retaining walls and a driveway but that was [...]
Early last week, one of our fish tanks (unfortunately the largest one) fractured down the side and ended up causing a minor flood in that area of our house. Fortunately for the fish, my other half was home at the time and rescued all the fish, promptly finding them a new home in a plastic [...]
