Easter this year marks one year since Granny passed away. Peacefully slipping away in her sleep with her family surrounding her. She was my Mother’s Mother. Granny was very different to my Grandma. Both wonderful women who had special gifts that they each offered to their grandchildren. I have been so lucky and grateful thatContinue reading “Remembrance”

My Home
I love my home. I love where I live. Every morning is the same. Wake to the sound of bird song, dappled sunlight through all our trees and our morning cuppa over looking the river. Life seriously can’t get much better than this. Some mornings I run. I have a wonderful run buddy who hasContinue reading “My Home”
Early Retirement?
So the last two weeks Hubby has proposed a bit of spit ball plan. I love his half planned plans when he shares them with me. Now I know it sounds like I’m about to block his idea, but frankly it’s brilliant his plan. Now it’s me taking the idea and running it through myContinue reading “Early Retirement?”
Dance like a Kid
A few months ago my brother had his birthday. He decided he would attend River Feast. It’s our towns’ weekly open area markets that combines live music (think mini music festival) every Friday. Food stalls, local handcrafted drinks and always live music oh, and over looking our river. This night for his birthday they wereContinue reading “Dance like a Kid”
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. I can not say this loudly enough, my best teaching experiences have come when I’ve had the best people toContinue reading “Comrades or Work Wives….”

One only needs to look on Facebook for large swaths of people who have created groups just to this one meal. Everything from fussy eaters to budget dinners to help,Continue reading “Family Dinners”
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”
Growing Up
Sunday marked the birthday of my youngest son. He turned the big 13. Two months ago our eldest son turned 15. I remember giving birth and people saying to me “cherish every moment as they grow up quick”. At the time I was pretty blasé about that comment. Both boys were so little and timeContinue reading “Growing Up”
Pass Words…..
You’ve entered the incorrect password or log on details. Have you forgotten? This message is the bane of my existence. Especially when it’s popping up on my youngest sons electrical device. And it’s always his device followed by a close second with Darling Husband and First Born Son. I even have a black book (andContinue reading “Pass Words…..”
Stop! Reflect and Balance
I recently wrote about being busy. Well I unfortunately fell down that rabbit hole. My only saving grace was that I knew it and did not try to out do anyone in how busy I’d been. My work life balance had tipped to far into work. The last few weeks has seen me jump hardContinue reading “Stop! Reflect and Balance”
