    Just a Little Hygge

    Usually the start of Autumn brings that ‘sad, blah, it’s the end of Summer yuck feeling’ in the pit off my tummy, however, after an insanely intense hot summer, I don’t actually feel that sad about the new change of  season. In fact, I welcome Autumn.  At this moment,  I am looking forward to some cooler weather.  My only issue with Autumn come winter are the shorter days. Our Queensland winters aren’t really all that cold.  We might have the occasional day where we can’t get away with a t-shirt and jeans, but on the whole, we don’t have winters where we need a fireplace or central heating.

Its the end of January and so I thought I would do my end of the month ‘Taking Stock’ post. So here goes…. Making: Lists.  I have lots of lists on the go….school, shopping, things we want to do, meal ideas, movies we want to watch, things to do before January ends, goals for 2017,  our budget, and a list of jobs…

  • 2017,  New Years Resolutions. Fabulous 2017

    Hello 2017!

    Hello 2017! How did 2016 come and go so quickly? This last year literally flashed before my eyes, and really impressed upon me the importance of having a plan and a goal, and to make not just the big moments in life count, but also the little ones. A brand new year means ‘a fresh start’. A new beginning. A fresh start means we get to make changes to the areas of our lives we feel need a shake up. Some decide to change jobs, some want to have more fun, read more, get healthy, learn how to play an instrument, or speak another language. Anything is a viable option!…
