Aidan has been in the nude all summer, especially at bedtime so with winter around the corner we headed to the shops to find some funky new PJs. As soon as Aidan saw these brightly coloured dinosaur flannelette PJs at Target he jumped up and down like he’d won the lottery, it was so cute [...]

As I mentioned in my last post about Ellie, I participated in a swap with a few special ladies. We each had to made three little gifts to send out to one another, all relating to Blythe in some way. I’d never participated in a Blythe swap before and it was quite nerve wrecking being [...]

This is Ellie, she’s my very first, one and only, Blythe Doll. There are few people who fall head over heels for a doll, especially one with such odd proportions and creepy colour changing eyes but I did and I fell hard. It started a few years ago as I stumbled around craft blogs, flickr [...]

I watched as my personality seemed to shrink in front of the mirror as I stood there, my eyes grey and bemused by my reflection. I slipped on my favourite SARA swimsuit, I loved how I felt in it, secure yet colourful. My eyes caught a glimpse of my inner upper thighs and I shuddered, [...]

A few people might have noticed the the brass peacock I posted on instagram the other day. I’d just finished up at my massage appointment to de-stress my “blogging shoulder” and on the way back to the car I walked past an op shop (which had closed for the day) and saw this little beauty [...]

I fell in love with a pair of pants on the internet, this happens occasionally and is usually followed by a flood of doubt. Will they fit? If I bend over will they show my gorgeous crack? Will I get camel toe? You know, these are the big questions women ask themselves when they take the risk [...]

… or should I say “Partly Yellow”? I didn’t smoke, I brushed my teeth, I went to the dentist and ate all my vegetables. However in high school I developed a few additional bad habits such as a taste for potato cakes with chicken salt, licorice sherbet bombs and litres upon litres of coca cola. All this [...]

#1 - PENS: Don’t assume that they will be at the event, you will need one to write down product codes you love, names of people you want to google when you get home, notes of what was on the menu and writing down your details for others if you happen to loose or run of business [...]

My parents live in a beautiful place only 3 hours away from our house. Every Thursday night we look at each other, mentally doing our accounts and working out a timeline in our heads. Could we manage to steal away for a few days and give Aidan some downtime with his Grandparents? Could we manage [...]

I’m not sure why I let it affect me so much, this feeling of inadequacy, the mistrust in my own decisions and constant fear of social rejection. I know these feelings have been around much longer than my career in social media, so why is it taking me so long to shift my mindset? Surely [...]
