How's your bookshelf looking so far in November? Join Our Monthly Reading Linkup! #WOYBS
Welcome fellow readers I’ve returned from my travels and am back on track with my reading. I found it quite hard to get involved in some books (think Anna Karenina) while I was away. My head was in relaxed mode and I was doing so many different activities I couldn’t even read at night – most unusual for me. The books I did read were quite light and easy. What I’ve read in October and so far in…

Empowering Motivational Quotes for Personal Growth
I love a good motivational quote, do you? Today I'm sharing a collection from members of our local exercise studio. #WWWhimsy #quotes
Quotes to motivate you A few months ago I was asked by Jade, my personal trainer at Studio Drew, to write a post about motivational quotes.

Motivational quotes on the wall (I have reproduced the quotes below). This is what I wrote for her which was shared…

Sounds of Silence #WWWhimsy
Home sweet home. After a big trip it's normal to have some time of low mood as you try to readjust to 'real life' but life is good! #WWWhimsy #travel
Home Sweet Home Yes I’m home. Yes it’s good to be home but I won’t lie and say I wouldn’t rather still be on holidays. Returning to normal life is hard, especially when it was such a great trip. After an epic 58 days away from home, we’re finally back in Tumbarumba. It’s sunny, warm and so very quiet! Bags are unpacked, washing is on and life at home begins again. Another fabulous trip – I’m…
