For the second consecutive year, just weeks before Christmas, I’ve found money on the ground! Both times I’ve been so tempted to grab the notes and take off – particularly given things are so tight I’ve had to loan money off my boys – but I’m too honest for that. I picked up a dirty…
Got my silver sparkle on today and it got me thinking about the people who add sparkle in everday life. These precious people – who give of themselves through an encouraging word and a lovely smile; who make you laugh and help you laugh at yourself – these are the ones worth investing in. They…
I considered staying in my sweaty workout gear all day today but I couldn’t bare the idea of hubby coming home to a smelly mess! Call me old fashioned but I think it’s nice for a man to come home after a hectic day to a woman in control of her home and appearance. And…
Oh summer where have you been, after an arctic blast yesterday I can feel you knocking on the doorstep today and it feels so good! I love the bitter-sweet of life; particularly the weather. The sad and sorrowful, unbearable and cold things in our life make the great and sweet things so much sweeter. After…
There’s nothing quite like relaxing by the water; it’s the perfect therapy. Mum and I blew down (thanks to the gusty, strong wind) to a favourite surf beach for a picnic. And wouldn’t you know it – we were almost there when my agent asked if I could work on a new television show being…
Missed out on a speaking role in a major television commercial today and I thought by now I’d be seeking out the chocolate and ice cream. But I’m not! In fact I’m feeling very much at peace about it all. After all, I know God’s in control and he will bring something awesome soon. In…
School holidays are going swimmingly so far. But I don’t know if baring the midriff was a great idea after the indulgent lunch we had today! I would normally steer clear of fried food but the boys are big fans of a beachside restaurant where they enjoy calamari and hot chips. Followed it up with…
Things are definitely looking up, when it’s warm enough to wear a strapless frock! Please excuse the cheesy rhyme; I’ll blame it on my crappy night. Some kind of virus hit us yesterday and hubby went down like a sack of spuds and was in bed by 7pm, which is unheard of. I was wobbly…
A few months ago this may have been considered denim overload, but not now. A lot changes in a week of fashion and mixing two pieces of denim is now on every fashionista’s radar, particularly if it includes a blue denim shirt. If you’re game to try head-to-toe denim the way to go is mix…
Packed a picnic and took off to my happy place to enjoy the glorious warmth and sunshine! But I arrived at one of my favourite beaches to find it shrouded in fog so thick I could barely see the surf, let alone several metres in front of me. But I powered on regardless, enjoying the…
