“Oh hello, sorry, didn’t see you there!

I love [...]

When I was 17 I had a pap smear. I felt it was the right thing to do as it had been 2 years since I’d first had sex. I was being responsible. None of my friends had had one but I went ahead and saw my doctor to show them it would be fine, [...]

Thumbnail image for I Kicked My Husband Out

Most days I like to consider myself an organised person but in an overall sense I’m pretty lax, I don’t feel the need to line things up in straight lines or colour code everything, I just don’t have the energy. The same goes for my wardrobe, everything has it’s place, it’s very own super crowded, [...]

I’m a chase that feeling

There is so much you guys aren’t seeing, so much behind the scenes that I can’t even begin to tell you. It’s all happening in a big way and I can’t seem to find the words so show you how supremely proud and humbled I am that things are going so well. This isn’t found [...]

The ever lovely Kylie from Capricorn Link (an Australian distributor of awesome wholesale books) sent me a beautiful book on Terrariums called Terrarium Craft (RRP: $24.99) and it’s been sitting on my bookshelf staring back at me, begging me to go to Bunnings and splash some cash on everything I’d need for a teeny tiny [...]

Aidan’s bestest buddy in the whole world “Brock” turned 2 last week. They’re exactly 20 days apart in age.

I need a hug

This felt like the longest week of my life. I took on too much. This is me, waving my hands in the air saying I over did it. I’m just one person. It wasn’t as bad as my time back in March but it was pretty damn close. There was a lot of pressure. There [...]

A few months ago Sharnee and I made some cosmetic changes to Danimezza.com and I love them… but as always being pretty it isn’t enough. There is a lot of stuff behind the scenes that needs to be cleaned up. I want clearer categories and tags. I want easier navigation. I want clearer information and [...]
