This moment: Summer in a frame. Knowing it will be the final ocean dip for the season as the baby season grows closer and the urge to hibernate and cocoon in our space grows stronger. Inspired by Owlet Mama

This moment
A moment to nurture the mother. To nurture myself. Yin and sound healing at a favourite place, luxuriating in the fact that this is something I can do with ease these days and accepting the knowledge that everything will change once again in a few months. Inspired by Owlet Mama
Woah baby: the second trimester
It truly feels as though this trimester has flown by. Maybe that's because we announced baby Squid (our womb name for our baby) to the wider public when I was 17 weeks pregnant. Maybe it's because Christmas and beach holidays fell right across the middle of the trimester, or maybe it's because the saying is… Continue reading Woah baby: the second trimester
From the archives: And so it ends…
First published on September 20, 2012. Steve and I finished our year of madness travels with a trip around Turkey, and the country left us both captivated. Both frustrating and beautiful. A bizarre mixture of tradition and modernity. And let's not even mention the food! They say everything has to come to an end, and… Continue reading From the archives: And so it ends…
This moment
This moment in time. A breath alone. The sun slipping below the horizon and beautiful words playing my ears. Inspired by Owlet Mama

From the archives: I heart Leeds
First published March 27, 2012 To this day Leeds is still one of my favourite places to have visited in the UK. #justsaying Dangerous. Boring. Dirty. It's fair to say Leeds was one city I travelled to grudgingly with my many pre-conceptions, all of which were bad, firmly in place. I stepped off the bus… Continue reading From the archives: I heart Leeds
Life: November
Summer is here! Well not according to the calendar, but going off the Brisbane heat, the increasingly regular afternoon storms, the desire to laze on the beach or next to a creek and just be with family, crank the Christmas choons and gorge on mangoes while the juice runs down my forearms, it definitely is… Continue reading Life: November
Let them be little
The house is dark and quiet, and I'm roused by a sleepy "mummy!" and the pitter patter of stomping elephant feet that I'm sure only toddlers are capable of doing. I sit up groggily, turning on my bedside lamp to give my son enough light to run from our doorway to my side of the… Continue reading Let them be little
