Life is Cool. Live it. Love it. Share it.
I have been looking for ways to show my creativity, I decided that my HOUSE was the perfect canvas to work on. We had a clock on a small wall in our dining room, the clock (which was a wedding gift) was no longer fixable, so we decided to get rid of it. I wanted to something cute and functional and a bit off beat to fill the space. I saw some coat hangers while doing the groceries. I loved {Read More}

I have been busy getting my house into an organised state. I am a bit of a clean freak, but not so organised. I have always balked at the thought of getting myself organised as it is just… so… boring… and there are a million things I would rather do than to go through piles of paper and file things and sort and store and… are you all still awake? I signed up to do the The Organised Housewife’s 20 Day {Read More}
It would seem that at the moment housewives around the globe are clambering to get their hands on a Kitchen Aid Mixer in a lovely shade of something or the magically mysterious Thermomix… I, am not on this band wagon. I am a bit old school in the kitchen. I love chopping and mixing and I don’t mind if things take time. Which is why I am very excited about my most recent Op Shop Find. When I moved out {Read More}

We have been renovating between having babies and we are almost finished, if there is such a thing! Our lounge room is very light and airy, I love our couches and I love sitting here with Mr Cool {Read More}
I am on a quest to add coolness to my house. But, I am no so much into catalogue/magazine copycat cool. I like things that have a story and things that just ‘fit’ with my 1960s chamfer on brick house. This is what our house looks like from our front gate… Cute and neat. The gardens are coming along slowly, we have terrible soil which is such a bummer given the amazing soil in our region. At the front of {Read More}
I have been feeling SOOOO much better over the past few weeks. Oh my, I was really run down. I am now all sparkly eyed, {almost} full of energy and excited about getting back into shape and back into life. One thing I noticed most about being run down, and what has motivated me the most, has been our family life. I have been a right mare to live with for the last few months. I have been cranky and {Read More}
Here is some bonus reading for the weekend. I am ‘not posting’ on the weekends, but I thought Saturdays might be a good day to share some things I have found on the net that might inspire you….plus some other bits and pieces I have collected along the way… Fashion Over at ‘Styling You‘ Nikki posted about the Oscars and she wrote a piece about Michelle Williams’ dress. It was truly my favourite too… I am loving these {Read More}
