I must admit when we go camping, lollies, chips and other processed foods sneak their way into our trolley. I take the easy option and provide far too many treats for our family.
Just because we are going away doesn’t mean our eating habits should change. Don’t get me wrong we will still have a few red wines and roast marshmallows around the campfire. We all need a few little indulgences after all!Read More »
I am a yo-yo dieter. Someone who gains 6-8 kilos and then has to work hard to get the weight off only to find it creeps back on again.
I enjoy exercising, the outdoors and being active is part of our lifestyle. Fad diets don’t interest me and I believe that you need to make lifestyle changes. Over the winter the kilos have crept back on and I gave myself a goal to get back into shape. To feel comfortable wearing my bikini at the Busselton Jetty Swim.Read More »
Spring is in the air! The weather has been teasing us with a few warm days and then it cools down again. But finally, sunny days are forecast for Perth.
I am feeling positive with the change of season so let me share with you what I am loving right now!Read More »
We went back to where it all started, where Dixie and I met! Dixie was travelling around
Australia, living out of his Troop Carrier and I was in town supporting a friend doing the Busselton Iron Man. A conversation was struck between us at the Esplanade Hotel and well the rest is history!
Busselton holds a special place in our hearts and we decided to return for a family holiday. Busselton is a small coastal town set on the calm waters of the Geographe Bay south of Perth. It is a great place to enjoy the outdoors with plenty of cycle paths, beaches and the locals are very friendly.Read More »
The best things in life are sweet! Just like the divine cupcakes the children decorated and munched on from Sweet on Cupcakes.
Over at Agent Mystery Case, I shared my local loves, wrote about all my favourite shops in my neighbourhood. It gave me great pleasure to showcase some awesome small businesses.Read More »
I like to look back and reflect on the month. Sometimes a month can fly by and I think that nothing much happened. But when I look back I realise that there were lots of little moments that made it pretty special.Read More »
Growing up in rural Western Australia I was always playing in the bush, building cubby houses and riding my bike down dirt tracks. Now I am a mother living in the city I have noticed that my children don’t have as much freedom or easy access to nature as what I had as a child.
I am not sure if it is because times have changed or this is just the way it has always been growing up in the city. Personally, I need my regular nature fix and I am happiest when I am outdoors.Read More »
My partner Dixie helped me put this post together as he is the one who is always tinkering away and making changes to our Landcruiser.
I like to look back and reflect on the month. Sometimes a month can fly by and I think that nothing much happened. But when I look back I realise that there were lots of little moments that made it pretty special.
June was a rough month with sick children and July was not much better! We are dealing with croup at the moment. The doctor told me that it is normal for children this age to get one virus a month! We are getting two a month but who is counting!Read More »
Around this time last year, I watched a documentary called War on Waste. It opened my eyes and I was shocked to find Australia is one of the most wasteful countries in the developed world.Read More »
