Life is Cool. Live it. Love it. Share it.
Saturday Bonus Reading… I have been given an extra hour or two today. My mum has the girls, BabyCool is asleep and Mr Cool is pottering about… so I have taken the chance just to sit still and take stock… Of course, I have been thinking about my blog, it seems to occupy a lot of my thinking time lately, which is fine, and it is not. I have been thinking about how my blog has evolved. It began as {Read More}
{Image} When I began blogging a few years ago, I felt like I was driving a 1976 Volvo. Blogger was so new to me and gave me freedom and adventure and needed little maintenance for its upkeep. I used Blogger for a few years and it was great – I was able to do all the things I needed to do with it… But, it didn’t have air conditioning, it didn’t have retractable seatbelts, in fact, the windows didn’t even {Read More}
A few weeks ago, I got cheeky and sent out a tweet to some big bloggers on Twitter. I asked for some tips on what I can do to grow my blog. Here are the things they said… Kelly from Be A Fun Mum said, ”Look back at your previous posts and find one that YOU loved writing the most; think about why.” Well… I really like this post on My Favourite Accessories and I wrote about Converse shoes, I {Read More}
Dear Eloise, Hi there, how are you? I am fine. I have been madly writing like a crazy person, I did a photo challenge in January and am working out some ideas for other projects. I have even moved my blog and am now at my own dot.com – impressed? As well as mustering three poppets and Mr Cool of course. I have been thinking about you a lot lately. It has been a while since you have posted a {Read More}
Where is summer? I can’t believe we have missed ANOTHER Summer! Last year at this time, our town was recovering from flooding. We had so much rain it came in through our roof into our lounge room. The mould took months and months to get rid of and I threw out so much stuff out. It was mad. I was so looking forward to this summer where we could go swimming at the beach and have long lazy afternoons {Read More}
Okay… here goes… I had planned all week to give my fridge a big clean out before today – so that my fridge looked AMAZING. But, school started this week and it has been raining and I had to get my hair done and playgroup started again…. well… I just didn’t get to it. My fridge is certainly not unsanitary – it is very clean. I wipe over the shelves and get rid of old stuff just before I put {Read More}
One of my favourite lights… My oven light! I really like cooking, I really do. I love that it is a hobby but it also benefits my family {not always our waiste lines though!}. I find cooking relaxing and creative and can be really soothing. After a long hard day, I like to be in the kitchen alone to scrub potatoes, chop things and slow down to let things be. One of my favourite times of the day… Doing more {Read More}
So…. Isn’t this exciting!!?? And, isn’t it HEALTHY!!?? Let’s not talk about morning tea shall we, let’s me just keep that to my little old self… I am meant to be in training. I am meant to be running like a crazy person. I am meant to be fit and fantastic. But… I am not. Sigh. I don’t know what is holding me back. I don’t know why I am not doing the things that I know I should be {Read More}
Colour Me Pretty! I am loving that accessories are so ‘in’ at the moment. For a while there, less was more. I have been waiting for more is more to be back, and here it it! I thought I would put together some of my favourite bits and bobs from my dressing table to show how I inject a bit of colour into my everyday. All things aqua, green and blue are some of my favourites. This collection showcases necklaces {Read More}
