Vision 2016

Being described as “The Last of My Name” is way cooler than “an only child”

September Reads – BRCS Book Club

September Reads – BRCS Book Club

A new month is on its way which means its time for a new book! This September we’re reading Slated by Teri Terry.

Kyla’s memory has been erased, her personality wiped blank, her memories lost for ever.

She’s been Slated.

The government claims she was a terrorist and that they are giving her a second chance – as long as she plays by their rules. But echoes of the past whisper in Kyla’s mind. Someone…

As a small business owner this is a great chance to meet with other local small business owners and really make some plans for growing your business. Can’t wait!!

Here is a peak at some of the photos from last years event:

Want to de-clutter all of those piles of paper and stay organised?

Want to de-clutter all of those piles of paper and stay organised?

Last year I revolutionised how I work with paper messes at the office and at home. Today I wanted to share this system again so that you can say goodbye to piles of paper and hello to an organised space!

I had been notorious for working with a desk full of papers. People would scoff at the mess and I would always say “I know where everything is” and in my defense I usually did. The trouble was…

Break away from the winter blues by surrounding yourself with some yellow treasures! So bright and happy they make it feel like summer.

Alys you've done it again!

Alys you’ve done it again!

Some of you will have noticed that I ordered The Edible Garden by Alys Fowler. It arrived in late April and I have devoured the book at least twice.

I’m so inspired to grow my own salads this year and I’ve started work on some lettuce boxes and pots. The only thing holding me back is the weather. Bring on Spring!

I recently stumbled over an article/interview where Alys explains how her garden is…

Crazy fun things to do with your toddler this winter

Crazy fun things to do with your toddler this winter

It might still technically still be Autumn here in Melbourne but when the weather man announces it’s going to reach a top of 11 deg C and there will be snow on the mountains you can be sure Winter is well on its way!

Being cooped up inside with the rain and cold pressing in you can easily find yourself running out of this to do with young children. My winter gift to you is a list of inexpensive…

I’m currently taking a break on Philip Island and can I just say, the colder weather makes it even better. It might have something to do with the smaller crowds, enjoying comfort food or a hot coffee, or even just snuggling up in scarves and hats for refreshing walks on the beach.

I love walking, especially when there is no destination in mind. Holidays are great for doing all of your favourite…
