Hello friends!! Welcome to the Top 5 Tuesday topics post: July-September 2024!! We’ve hit the halfway point for 2024 and we are screaming on through. Screaming?

We understood each other through lots…
Honeymoon adventure – UK part 2
Day five started off later than the others, I think we’re finally getting over our jet lag. Karen and Chris’ hospitality at the Airbnb was spectacular, I wish I had taken a photo of the breakfast they had set up for us, it was like staying at a hotel! We got on the road and our first stop of the…

Werribee Open Range Zoo
The last week I have had the delight of entertaining my cousin’s daughter while her mum is at work. When I lived closer I would take her for a day or two during her summer holidays so her mum didn’t eat up all of her leave or have to pay for babysitters. Now that we live ~8 hours by car…
Goals for 2017
I am relatively new to blogging. I’ve wanted to do it for a long time, but just never quite got around to finding the time. You know, we’re all so busy with life that we just keep adding things to our “I should do that” list, and if you’re like me, that list just keeps getting longer and longer. In…
