For those of you who don't follow/know me on social media, SJ and I got engaged earlier this month! I'd love to say it was a...

This post is likely to sit as a draft post until I feel comfortable to share it. This is the story of my first pregnancy.

This is the first in a series of blog posts about our wedding. A few things made our wedding a little different and I'd love to sh...

I am running out of time. 3 pages...the length of my to-do list. 5 days left at work. 9 days until we leave for Europe. 27 days unt...

Everyone who owns a camera has photographed a sunrise or sunset at least once and it's well known that the 'golden hour' (the ...

I'm back. Again. I actually thought a lot about my blog during the last three months as I struggled for the time and motivation to p...

So it's the big dirty thirty year for SJ and I and most of our friends. We didn't make a big deal out of our 29th birthdays (no real...

Bringing you up to speed with what I've been up to over the last 4 months will be hard work, so to start simply, this week I've been...

Just wanted to make you aware I'm still here for those of you who don't follow me on Twitter/Instagram or have me as a friend on Fac...

I'm a bit behind on my ABCD Series so I'll have to churn out a few posts to catch myself up. Leaving work just after the stor...

First of all, Happy Birthday to me! I'm now only 1 year off 30...how scary. As luck would have it, today's post is on of my favour...

Another boring step before we could start painting was to fill all the dents and scratches and holes in the existing horse hair plaster wall...

Plastering was easily the worst phase of the house renovations, it's dusty, it makes an incredible mess that you can never quite get cl...

The next step in our renovations was to hang the Gyprock, we started in mid-June and it took about two weeks worth of work (nights and weeke...

One of the bigger changes we have made to the living space has been to replace an existing window with a bifold cedar door that opens up ont...

Now the title of this post might be a little deceiving when I mentioned in yesterday's post that this was the 'most disgusting task ...

The first steps in our home renovations were removing all the carpets and curtains, they were old and they smelt. The second step was gettin...

I'm all ready to go!

Just in case you were wondering.

Here is the efforts from my With These Hands project from last week's theme (Garden).

I know I haven't completed a project for Week Two yet, but I didn't want to be late announcing the theme for Week Three...which...

Mum came to visit me for the weekend and I took her on a mini road trip.

Just a quick post to mention that the week two theme for With These Hands is garden .

I've been incredibly bored lately (and have had nothing to blog about) so I've been trying to find ways to amuse myself. Enter my ne...

Don't uncross you fingers for us just yet. First, I'm sorry again for being so slack with blogging lately, it's hard to think ...

Wore this outfit to work earlier in the week. On one of the rare days I didn't ride my bike to work.

I got an email from ' GOOP ' (Gwyneth Paltrow's weekly newsletter thing) on Friday, informing me that the autumn season palett...

Last weekend I had my second attempt at macarons. This time I did it properly and made Salted Milk Chocolate Caramel Zumbarons.

Just a quick post to include some pictures of my sock bun last weekend.

I'll be honest up front...this is pretty much a food post... SJ and I had a day out in the city on Saturday, started the day off with...

 I am getting slack, aren't I? On the upside, I finally got instagram and twitter on my second phone so I have been posting things a l...

First off, thank you all for you kind words on my last post. Let me assure that I'm not keeping any bad secrets, more just that I'm ...
