I have been asking Mr Cool to write a guest post for me for a while. I thought he could write something meaty like: picking out ties or the benefits of running or … something… Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought he would shine as a poet. Brace yourselves…. Hiaku Poetry by Mr Cool Firstly, I asked him to write about Autumn… Auburn rays shine through Branches lose their summer hues Green gives way to gold {Read More}
Back To School for B – Thankful Thursday + iPPP
March 22, 2012 by 2 Comments
I have found myself back in the classroom after an 18 month break {after having BabyCool}. It has been an ‘interesting’ journey to see the least… When I was offerered the position I have, I was so excited, and was ready to start with gusto, but if you follow my blog you will know that my year has not started very well health wise. This has made the journey not so filled with gusto and very much filled with hormonal {Read More}
Shadows …. Thankful Thursday and iPPP
March 15, 2012 by 10 Comments
You know, the older I get the more I realise that nothing is simple. That no-one lives the dream life. That nothing is perfect. I have come to realise that those people who I think are the strongest and bravest are also the people who have gone through the hardest times. I think of friends who have lost children, or had straying partners, or who have been through cancer or depression or pain, and am marvelled by their love and {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}
Thankful Thursday + iPPP – This here tree inspires me!
March 1, 2012 by 4 Comments
This is a tree that I pass almost every day. I wonder if local friends know where it is? This Flame Tree inspires me every single year. You see, this tree begins to turn red earlier than all the other Flame Trees around it. Isn’t it amazing? I love Autumn, all the colours that explode, the coolness in the air, the crisp apples and morning runs in the cold… Plus, my birthday is in Autumn, so it is my very favourite {Read More}
Thankful Thursday + iPPP – Lovely Washing…
February 16, 2012 by 7 Comments
Who would have thought I would have been glad to tackle the washing today? I spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week teaching. Back to the grind. Back to being out the door by 7:35am and not returning home until around 5pm. Teaching kids and being at school is fun, I love meeting new people and I love being a grown up – but good golly gosh, it is EXHAUSTING! Also, being at work for all that time means {Read More}
Thankful Thursday – Feeling Better + iPPP
February 9, 2012 by 23 Comments
On Monday, I felt that yucky feeling in the back of my throat. On Tuesday, I was sick. High temps, shakes, dizzy, snuffly, grumpy {well, grumpier…}. On Wednesday, I was a bit better, but still a bit sick. On Thursday, I am feeling much much better. So I am thankful. I don’t like being sick. I never have. I am not good at napping and I am not good at not doing much. But, I just knew that the only {Read More}
Thankful Thursday and iPPP – Miss Blue Ballerina

Don’t these photos do something to your tear ducts? Gosh… Miss Z starts ballet on Saturday. This is her brand new ‘uniform’…. I am so thankful that we can give this little treasure this opportunity to discover something new. She loves to dance, she dances her way through everything. She twirls through the grocery store, prances through the shopping centres, head bangs in the car and cannot sit still for quids. So… this dancing thing is right up her alley. {Read More}
