Life is Cool. Live it. Love it. Share it.
Today is the last day of April. This means that it is time to pack my bags and say good-bye to my favourite city of the world. It is making me feel a little sad, but, the excitement of the next ‘stop’ is definitely starting to bubble away. I feel sad because I have realised that London has saved me, again. London saved me ten years ago when Mr Cool and I boarded a plane to go and live in {Read More}
So… I am spending this month dreaming of being in New York, with my ‘If Project’… One of the best parts of travelling somewhere new is the different foods that there is to try. IF I went to New York, I would be finding a great bakery/street vendor and buy myself a soft, gooey pretzel to eat while I soaked in the sites and sounds of New York. Yes, I would be. Seeings as I am only dreaming of New {Read More}
Wow – what a week! It has been a good one! Having put all of these pictures in one place I am both amazed that I take so many photos and amazed that I have missed some fabulous photo ops! Darn!

I am into writing lists at the moment… Today’s list is made up of reasons I am thankful for the lovely friends I have… Great friends turn up with good cheese (and beer) Great friends make you geeky spreadsheets Great friends leave flowers and cards for when you arrive at THEIR house to stay when they are not home Great friends swap life stories and their chips Great friends are understanding of me being rubbish at organising things Great friends {Read More}
In the last few months I have been gumming on about op-shoppping {which, after reading ‘A Beach Cottage’ I now wish I had started calling it ‘Thrifting’, sounds so much nicer!}. I thought I might just take some time to tell you why I love op-shopping so much… I love…. the thrill of the chase, you never know what you are going to get. You could get some designer jeans or you could get a new plate for the vintage {Read More}
I am off to Nuffnang’s Blogopolis tomorrow… Oh my giddy aunt – what the heck am I doing!!?? I am equally nervous and excited… I tend to worry about things… everything really. I have been wondering how I could get past this and wondering who I should talk with about it… Then I realised that I have been talking about an opportunity like this for months… I have been waiting for an opportunity. I have been waiting for something to {Read More}
Image Lately, Mr Cool and I have been reading a lot of books. We have had a kind of shift of thinking and we are in a time of working out what we want to be when we grow up. This has been exciting and challenging, but also intimidating and daunting. Afterall, we are in our mid-thirties and now have three children, four chickens, two fish and a whole lotta stuff. I have been reading a book about making decisions. {Read More}

A few years ago I had IPL done on my face. It was great. My ‘Skin Doctor’ was simply amazing and took my oily, spotty, scarred skin and turned it into something a lot more manageable. She has been amazing. The process was slow and I will need to go back again soon, but it has been such a relief to not always think about my skin. My doctor talked to me about skin and health and life. I learnt {Read More}
