Life Lessons

lessons we learn in like

On Saturday morning we headed to Byron Bay hinterland for a 2 night getaway to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. It was to be a family friendly luxurious getaway as the kids had to come with us too. After...
I haven’t been able to share any personal posts for a while because it’s been hard to put into words how I’ve felt during this year. My experience will be different to yours and yours will be different to others....
Oh Christmas how I LOVE you. I truly do enjoy this time of year. Although it feels like I’ve been preparing for Christmas for MONTHS. The girls and I have been crafting, making Christmas projects that would make good activities for...
Since my last appointment with my neurosurgeon, I’ve been asked by various friends, what the latest development is and how I’ve been feeling about it all? To be honest, I’ve felt guilty in admitting I haven’t really thought too much...
This year has been the year for finding solutions to problems, or rather trusting God to find solutions to our problems. This time last year, my mum was planning a family trip to America. A blessing of finances to my...

My Reading Style

Last week Janet from Middle Aged Mama tagged me to answer some questions about my reading style. If I’m honest, I rarely read for myself these days. I read more books in a week than I did when I was...
Today is our 10 year wedding anniversary. How did we get here? I remember envisioning what 10 years would look like but I’m not sure I would have imaged the life we are living now. This year has been...
I love reading the routine of a person's day. It gives me an insight into how they live their life and it often makes me feel relieved that I'm not the only one living an often monotonous life. But...
The first time I went to a Disney on Ice show was last year when I took the family to see Frozen. It was a memorable experience and one I’d love to experience again with my girls. They love Disney...
I’m a big believer in prayer. I pray every day and through out the day. I think you have to when you’re a mum. Actually, I think you have to no matter who you are because life doesn’t always...
If you read the title of my post and thought I was going to share the profits and losses of financial investments last year… sorry to disappoint you. It’s actually a reflection post. It’s a post sharing how I...
A couple of weeks ago, I organized to meet up with my grandparents at our local shopping centre. I arrived a little early with Phoebe and Maggie, so I took them to the indoor play area and sat down...
I once gave my Grandma Jones a magnet that said, ‘when the going gets tough, head to grandma's’ and head there I would, when the going got tough. The going got tough many times during my apprenticeship. And the times when...
I remember when I was in my early 20’s, my dad said something along the lines of ‘Bec, you will eventually need to do less because you will be too tired to fit all the things in your life.’...

Rock my World

Today is my husband’s birthday. I’m pretty good at remembering dates and details, but the fact that my hubby shares his Birthday with Valentine’s Day was a sign to me that he was a keeper. And after more than...
Being a practical woman and one that knows her way around tools, you would think I’d know a bit about cars. But I don’t. In fact, I’m pretty blaze about cars. As long as it works when I put...
It takes 4 years to complete an apprenticeship or get a degree (if you study full time), it can also be the pinnacle year of a blogger because usually by the 4th year (sometimes it can come sooner) you...
all good things

All Good Things

2019 is certainly turning into a year to remember with all good things coming into place. It certainly hasn’t been easy street. There is the uncertainty with my eye which still is a concern but my last appointment showed no...
It’s been ten years since I've been in Africa. TEN YEARS!  Jacob and I both went in June 2004. I actually can’t believe that it has been that long since we went on our trip to help build part of...
Today is my Birthday. Yay! I turn 31 and so much has happened in those 31 years, although I feel like a lot of life has been lived in the last 18 months. I was recently told I still looked...
Dear Renee, When you told Lauren and I at the beginning of the year that you weren’t going to go to Problogger Conference 2015 I was sad. How was our trio going to survive the Problogger experience with one third...
Back when I was pregnant with Phoebe, I asked for some help with guest posts because I wasn't sure how I would keep blogging with a newborn and two little ones to look after. Well, it turns out you...
