Holiday Ideas for Winter on the Coast
I wish it was possible to travel back in time. I’d go back to 3.00pm on the 27th June. The last day of school term for semester 1. I’d really like to start the holidays again! While we had fun times over the holidays, the second week was neither relaxing or fun. Especially for poor hubby, who had to have his wisdom teeth out – all four of them needed to be surgically removed, and the recovery time was especially tough. Hubby was a good patient.

How to Have a Merry Christmas – Keep it Simple!!!
Its been weeks since I have written! Not because I haven’t wanted to write, I have just had a lot on my plate. Our lives have been rather hectic and chaotic over the last few weeks, actually the last couple of months, I literally haven’t had a chance to write – although I must say that I have been giving ‘the next blog post’ some thought. The next blog post is always on my mind! 🙂 The school year literally screeched to a halt on the 5th December, and I must admit that I had been feeling as though we were on an emotional roller coaster right…

How to find your inner Kardashian – I mean confidence!
These days, most people know exactly who the Kardashian family is! For those who don’t know, the Kardashian’s are a large, very confident and very self assured family who live in America – who happen to have their own reality show called none other than ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians!’ This blog post really isn’t about the Kardashians as such – it is more about finding your inner confidence. The Kardashian’s are very comfortable with who they are, and what they are all about. It seems that each member of the Kardashian family have confidence that could be measured in buckets, actually no – lets just call them…
