eat, pray, bathe...…

My first ever Monkey Cakes cupcake. Needless to say, it was rather tasty.

Sunday brings baking a batch of banana chocolate chip muffins!

Flicking through a gift given to me by my ex-boss when he left the company recently.

Genterion in the year 2045

Character: Alice II and I

Note: My character will be based on the pseudo-historical figure of Alice of Hedleyshire. She is part of my history of the fictional country of Genterion, stretching from the years 1530 to 2045, a 515 year period. The federal kingdom of Genterion is divided into four states, each governed by a monarch.…

With participation (hostile takeover) from my niece, 11 and nephew 8...

Who wanted to wear a pink jumper.

There once was a rabbit named Thumper,

An Easter feast arrives in the mail from Ben's lovely parents.

Do BodyCombat. It seems that it's good for your back and shoulder muscles.

We slowly start moving into our new place!

I had two good photo opportunities on this day and forgot to take a photo at each of them. So, instead, I made Ben let me take a photo of him serenading us on our last weekend in the house.

Overly excited about an early night curled up with a book. Well, I have been very busy...

Tomorrow is my last Kids.Now session. Each week I had asked the kids to write down one thing that they're grateful for, and for the last session I've put them all together into one poster. Hopefully they'll see just how many good things they've got going…

I know you were looking for some kind of road stories, Lisa... but road stories are better told when being reflected on.

Wednesday nights are Shambhala night.

Learning to teach a second track for BodyCombat class. Hopefully the second one won't fall out my head after teaching the first...

Two weeks until we move house? Better start packing! Rosie's looking for an early ticket outta here.
