Hello everyone! And a very extremely belated happy new year to you all! I had all these lovely blog posts in my head to do for new year, but I wasn’t quick enough to write them prior to going away for three weeks – and well, it’s just too late for all that now! However, [...]
A Christmas Tale for the Young ‘Uns
Some of you may know that in a previous life time I was a primary school teacher. I spent a fair bit of my time teaching in the bush, and mostly with Aboriginal students. I’ve taught in Halls Creek, Broome and Katherine in the Territory. Long before I was married or started having children, [...]
On Being Grateful.
Yesterday I went out into the back yard to hang up some washing and water the veggie garden, and look what I noticed… Now, I am out in my back yard every day, so I find it unusual that I haven’t noticed this before. Perhaps it sprung up over night? It’s a [...]
These Guys…
This is Toby, Me, Millie and Jubilee. These guys make me laugh. They make me smile on the outside, and in. They love to snuggle, and cuddle and tell silly knock knock jokes. You want to hear the latest one? Them: knock knock, Me: Who’s there? Them: Interrupting Cow, Me: Inter.. Them: Mooooo… See what [...]

Around Here Lately, a week in photos…
I’ve been feeling very guilty this year about the lack of regular posts here on my blog. I could tell you that I’ve been so busy preparing for my first solo exhibition that my mind hasn’t had any room for thinking about blogging and it would be true. I could also say that being a [...]
Dear 16 Year Old Me
Some years ago now, my dear dad had skin cancer removed from his lip, ear and hands. In his day, there was no such a thing as sunscreen. Put some oil on your skin (coconut most likely) and lay out on the deck to get brown as a cooked chook. I don’t want to go down that track, [...]
A Week in Photos
I haven’t got much to say tonight, but thought i’d share a few happy snaps from the week that was. Things that have made me smile. Things that have made me laugh and things that have made me ever so grateful to be a mumma. A little peep into life with us three… Mr T was [...]
It’s Beginning to Look alot like Christmas…
OK ok… I LOVE Christmas. I love the whole month of December and all the festivities. I severely dislike the commercialism, the spending, the rediculous amounts of waste from packaging and wrapping, but I do so love the spirit of Christmas. I love the traditions, the songs, but mostly the call to focus on what [...]
