The week ahead sees changes for us. Daylight savings finished this past weekend so it is now dark by 6.30 or so. Makes me want to just snuggle in and start the process of hibernation. It will be cooler this week and also some rain forecast so Autumn all of a sudden feels like Winter. A busy...

The weather continues to be perfect, it has been a while since the beginning of April has been so mild. March went by incredibly quickly, I think I managed to get most things done. April will not be so successful on the home front, it is a busy month and I will be away for a week with...

Another week with the most glorious weather. I don't think there is anything better than the first few weeks of Autumn other than the first few weeks of Spring. A short week here as we celebrate Easter, a 4 day weekend for us. I am still working on my modified HGP as part of my Winter prep and...

This week sees us in mid March. I am amazed by how quickly the year is going. I shouldn't be, it happens every year. The weather will be cooler this week and the change always induces a little panic in me. I have so much to do while the weather is still mild. We have just a few weeks before...

Autumn has began to show itself. The days are just perfect, crisp mornings but quite hot through the day. The leaves are all turning but I hope it takes a few weeks to really show it's full effects. By Mid April we will be cold so I want to enjoy the next 6 weeks while I can...

Welcome to March, I am not sure where February went, it was here one minute and then gone. March sees the start of Autumn in Australia, my favourite time of year. I spend a lot of time over the next few weeks preparing the house for our upcoming Winter. Looking forward to what the next few...

It was so nice to have a full week home last week. I got a lot done, made a few lists and gave my planner a good work out. The weather once again is very mild which means I can get more done here. Hopefully another productive week ahead. Daily: Water throughout day. Clean kitchen and DW on...

After 2 very busy weeks and weekends away from home I am hoping for a quieter week this week. The weather will still be nice, the last few weeks of Summer. Hope to get a few things done as we prepare for Autumn. Daily: Water throughout day. Clean kitchen and DW on before bed. Moisturise...

The first month of the year gone. I cannot believe that it has only been a month since Christmas, it seems so long ago that we were planning and celebrating. Here is my list for this last week of January. Daily: Water throughout day. Clean kitchen and DW on before bed. Moisturise, brush teeth...

A month since Christmas. A busy week here with the usual comings and goings and this week sees us celebrating Australia Day on Friday, a holiday for us. I am still working on my January 4 week/4 room routine. This week sees me finishing off the kitchen and starting a minor clean and tidy up of...

3rd week of the year, oh it seems like it has been months since Christmas. I am hitting my stride, still a few areas of the house to get into order. My planner has been getting a work out with all my lists, plans, goals and ideas. I am so full of ideas and I don't want to miss a moment. I...

First 'real' week of January. This is the week where I try and get back into some sort of routine. Back to work 2 days a week and first grocery shopping day of the year. I still have a lot of organising to do but am happy with how the first weeks of the year are looking. I feel like it has...

Mum and I had our annual planning day yesterday and we came up with a plan for 2024. Mum and I have been sharing the baking and meal prep for the last 20 years or so. It makes buying the groceries and the prep a lot easier and a lot more fun. For example for Christmas dinner, I buy the Turkey...

Welcome to a new year of reading. I started the autobiography of Ash Barty, an Australian tennis player.

DH just cleaned out his desk drawers and tossed some things out!!! Happy New Years to me lol He has mentioned that this is the year to declutter! I am not going to stop him. I tossed some old calendars and diaries, some paper work. There are a few tins that we got baked good in that need to go...

2023 was a good year for me. My word of the year was progress and I felt that I did make progress in quite a few areas of my life. There are certainly still areas that need improvement but overall a good year. I have realised that I am happy with the life that I have here. It is simple and...

And just like that we start another year. A time to reevaluate how we see ourselves, our routines, our goals, plans and hopes. A time to change what is not working and to hang on to what is. I love a fresh slate. My weekly routine will remain much the same in 2024 because it mostly works for...

As the Christmas season winds up a reminder to take stock of what you may need in terms of supplies for next year. Do you need tape, bows or ribbons? How is your paper and gift bag supply, do you need any gift boxes? Time to make a note in your planner of what you may need, now is a good time...
