I’ve slowly come to accept that I am a runner. A label I never thought would apply to me. It certainly wasn’t an activity or sport I willing did as a child. Besides my younger brother was the “talented” track and field person in the family. However one day Hubby Dearest came home with aContinue reading “Why do I run?”

Comrades or Work Wives….
I know I have spoken in previous blogs about my job. For anyone new, I’m a teacher. I’ve taught instrumental music to classroom music, primary school and for the last 10 plus yearS high school.

Family Dinners
So, question…..who actually enjoys preparing and cooking family dinners? I know there are a wide variety of opinions on this particular meal of the day.

Biddy
I remember when Husband Dear first bought home this tiny red fluff ball of a kelpie puppy. She was about 6 weeks old, maybe 7, and was a gift to our oldest boy as a 2nd birthday present. Yes, we were that family that gifted our son his first ever dog. Now the puppy wasContinue reading “Biddy”

Both boys were so little and timeContinue reading “Growing Up”

If this routine is missed or messed around with, it gives a weird vibe to the rest of the day! My rituals and that of my family give meContinue reading “Rituals”
Gratefulness
It’s been twelve months since Husband Dear became extremely ill. If that wasn’t stressful enough it all had to happen when the pandemic hit and we were in lock down. However, after twelve months I’ve continually reflected on what happened As a family we became a stronger unit. I love that my children are capableContinue reading “Gratefulness”
Connecting to Community
Over the course of my teaching career I have come across many different people and have worked in many different educational areas and towns. I have learnt something from all of it. Sometimes the lessons were learnt long after the fact but, learn and grow from it I did. So I’d like to ask youContinue reading “Connecting to Community”
Photo Op….
So today I thought I would share some of my photos I took recently on a walk around my home town. I have always wanted to learn photography and now I try to make the time for photos. I also can’t thank my good friend who also helps with all the technical stuff around eitherContinue reading “Photo Op….”
