As I was posting yesterday's Two Sentences Tuesday I realised that I had just posted my 30th one since introducing the concept. That's 30 weeks ago! Over half a year ago! Where on earth has this year gone and can someone please stop time from passing by so quickly??? Someone said to me today that it was …

All good things come to an end
Of course, we couldn't stay away forever and so we headed home via Hahndorf so that I could catch up for brunch with one of my oldest friends from Queensland who happened to be in the area for a wedding and extended vacay! We didn't have long but we packed in a heap of conversation into …
It’s been 20 years
Recently, an invite popped up on my facebook feed to join a 20 year high school reunion page by one of my old classmates. 20 years, already! I'm not sure how I feel about that. I loved my high school years and I reflect upon those days now mostly with positive memories. I wasn't one of the …
Taking the time to remember #lestweforget
This sums it up for me today: Although life is crazy and things seem ridiculously chaotic right now, I took the time to reflect today when the clock hit 11.00am. I always do on Remembrance Day. In my opinion, there is always time to stop and acknowledge the fact that unlike some that exist in …
Let the relaxing begin
It took us 10 hours but we made it!! We moseyed our way to Yarrawonga, stopping for a long lunch and to pick strawberries from The Big Strawberry at Koonoomoo. We arrived at around 5ish (much to the worry of our camping buddies), and then spent a few hours to set up. And finally …
Ready, or are we?
Today is the official start to my week of annual leave. With the intention of packing our camper trailer so that we could wake up and simply head off, we woke early and by 8.30am I'd dropped the girls at childcare for the day. That's pretty much where it began to come unstuck. Dear hubby …
Three months left
If you've ever read any of those articles that identify the key things you need to do to be a successful blogger then you may have read that one these things is quality content. Quality content that is relevant, relatable and memorable. Uh-oh! I can't say that I'm ticking that box right now. Thankfully, my plan has never …
Oh, to be 18 again
Tonight was spent celebrating the 18th birthday of one of Mrs Mone's sons. And also of realising that my 18th birthday was 20 years ago!!! Yes, 20 whole years ago. OMG! Where on earth has that time gone? I remember my 18th like it was yesterday. With a birthday in March, I was one of …
Up against a deadline
There is no question the past two months have been rough. Change often is. Even when it's expected and ordinarily embraced, change can be the cause of unexpected outcomes and heartbreakingly painful realisations. The damage to my ego and pride is still very new. It's taken it's toll on my confidence and even on my physical and …
A bright and shining future*
Conferences are exhausting! Not just because of how physically tiring they are, because that's only a part of it, it's also due to how mentally draining they tend to be as well. We've had a huge day today at the RWA Conference with a fabulous few sessions with Angela Ackerman who provided us with tools to create larger …
