This photo
I have been looking through my photos of 2012, reflecting on the year that has been. I have been working on our Christmas letter: a summary of our year. I found this photo, which I took in January this year. I love it. It is one of my favourite photos ever. I remember the day […]
The End
I remember writing this post like it was yesterday – or last month. We have come to the end of another year! Each time I think about how fast time flies and how much older I am getting, I panic a little. Do you reflect a lot? I do. I have been thinking about my […]
Holidays
Well, School holidays are over. I feel sad. It has been so wonderful, spending the time with our children. It has been great having Grandma and Poppa staying with us.

Treechange Tuesday: toilets
Yes, well, probably not a title you thought you would see on my blog. We have two of these toilets. In hindsight, we only need one. It’s a really good choice for our main toilet because we did not need to worry about plumbing in another basin in ‘the powder room,’ and of course the […]
Treechange Tuesday: sheds
Writing about this topic has got Monte and I talking about how we would do things differently. Some days we don’t think that we would change very much; other days we talk of changing many things! Thank you, Andrew, for inspiring me to discuss this topic! Most recently, MG and I talked about how we […]
