I think I have a poltergeist. Though it’s not the usual door-slamming, chilling-gust-of-wind type. This one likes to mess with my technology. I have a knack for asking my husband for help with something tech-related and then the second he comes over to help me, the problem magically disappears. But I swear the dishwasher wouldn’t […]

This week, I want to encourage you to realise you did more in 2021 than you think. To reflect beyond hyper masculine oriented goals and lists of achievements. Here’s a few of mine. Celebrated my dog’s 14th birthday.  After a year of health scares and thinking she wasn’t going to make it, this was huge. […]

There is no one like you, even if another person has exactly the same DNA I feel like when I started a relationship with an identical twin it heightened my ability to really, truly ‘see’ people as individuals.

  I’ve spent the past week trying to get a new veggie garden in. I’d love to show you a finished product, but it’s one of those projects that has its own time frame. When we moved into our house six years ago, I noticed the existing veggie patch was positioned in possibly the worst […]

I’m not one of those people who feels it’s ‘weird’ to give your child the same name as a pet. I figure people name their kids after important people in their family all the time – it might as well be someone you like! So, yeah, my first daughter is named after a golden retriever. […]

It’s that time of year again. A month until ‘Bowe week’ – the crazy week in my family where we ended up with our wedding anniversary, plus the two kids’ birthdays all falling within the same 7 days. No, I didn’t plan it that way! My oldest daughter’s birthday is a month before Christmas, and […]
