Facebook – love it or hate it – has changed the way we communicate more than any of my childhood friends and I could have ever anticipated. I was always a letter writer, so managed to keep in touch with many friends after leaving school and university – despite moving to live on the other […]

Wardrobe Wednesday | Shorts
I’ve favoured skirts and dresses way more than shorts this summer, but today I dug out a pair of my fav shorts (previously jeans – but the holes in the knees got obscene from crawling around clearing up after my children!). With autumnal weather starting to hint at its presence, it felt good to throw […]
The Photo Gallery | Together
A long weekend gave us time to be together as a family – even if, at times, my mind wasn’t all ‘together’ with it! In my mind there are always people floating around – physically distant from me, but close in my thoughts, that I wish to be together with – for a moment in […]
Silent Sunday
The Photo Gallery | Walks
Along a pathway lined with driftwood and shells, is a walkway on Wellington’s south coast. There are hundreds of beautiful walks around the city and in the bush reserves, but this is the walk that’s close to home. It’s my little place of escape, where I go to exercise, to free my mind, to listen […]
Wardrobe Wednesday (posted the night before – Pinot Gris will do that!) – Working on it…
What a giggle this ‘Wardrobe Wednesday‘ thing is. When I ask Miss 7, ‘Please can you take my pic?’, she says, ‘It’s that time of the week, isn’t it?’ and then giggles as she takes a dozen shots and tells me how to pose… oh dear (but it IS such a laugh – and there’s […]
Keeping on running
This past fortnight I’ve been running and kept on running. I don’t know where this sudden urge to run has come from, but it feels great (and I’m just hoping the clocks going back, on the first Sunday of April, along with autumnal weather to come, doesn’t dampen my enthusiasm!). In the past fifteen days […]
Running on Inspiration
There’s so many inspiring people in this world. Many of those people don’t have ‘fame or fortune’ in the conventional sense – but they are guaranteed to be famous with their friends and rich in ways that money cannot bring. They are people who through their own actions make the world a better place for […]
Silent Sunday
The Photo Gallery: The Letter C
These past hot months, of the most incredible summer New Zealand has seen in decades, has been intensely wonderful. We’ve enjoyed endless evenings of playing out till dark, and days with windows flung open to let air fill the house. We’ve not had to layer up in months, our skin has been free to breath, […]
Wardrobe Wednesday – Casual with a little butterfly inspired colour
Today was a glorious autumnal day in Wellington, that actually didn’t feel anything like autumn – except for the morning temperature of 13 degrees centrigrade… which within an hour had rocketed up to a lovely 23 degrees centigrade. I was heading into Wellington city feeling a little chilly in my summery shorts – but the […]
Wardrobe Wednesday
There’s a new ‘Wardrobe Wednesday’ host (at Kiwi Women’s Style) and I thought I’d link up this week (as I really needed some motivation to get out of my p-jays) and try to dress like a regular woman! When I finally managed to detach myself from my youngest (very adorable it must be said) limpet, […]
Excuses no more! The running bug has hit!
For years I shirked my health and partied hard after work, then I had children and put them first – keeping active and fairly fit, but still not prioritising my health. Finally, this year, I am listening to friends and family and making this time, right now, the time I take back my health and […]
Things I’m Loving – this last OFFICIAL week of Summer (but I’m giving it 3 more weeks!)
So much to love this week – but then the sunshine and continued light evenings make it very easy! Loved seeing young Alice write the first letter of her name in the sand at beautiful Lyall Bay… Sophie had a fabulous play at the beach with Alice too. I love Sophie’s enthusiasm for the water […]
