Chained to the Country

I believe people are influenced by their childhood. The way you are raised is ultimately what shapes you into your adulthood. I look back on my childhood and feel nothing but happy memories. Sure, my smart ass mouth got me into a lot of trouble but I would not have had it any other way. …

Stirrups in Full Swing

They say when you fall off a horse to hop straight back on. What if you forget to hop back in the saddle? What if months go by and your hands don't pick up those reins? Well... That's what unfortunately happened to me. In 2015 I endured the stress of grade twelve and a part-time …

Crunching on Cob Loaf

Does anyone that likes cooking ever enjoy the cleaning up aspect? I think not. That is my one and only deterrent when cooking. Sure, making can be buckets of fun. Buuuuut the leftover mess is certainly a no from me. Most people say that they clean as they go but I think it sucks away …

Redefine Your Instagram Feed

It's Wednesday. Over halfway now. I can almost feel the winds of the weekend! We just have to get through two more days. Luckily I can count on my Instagram feed to amuse me through to Friday.

Satisfying my Self-Esteem

People often ask me how my sister and I fare with such a big age gap. I hear it at least once a week. To be specific, I am 3755 days older than my sister. To put it into a better time frame, there is 10 years, 3 months and 12 days between us. And the answer to …

Astounding Australia

"Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises" - Pedro Calderon de la Barca I recently had a fellow blogger comment in surprise at the greenery featured in Sunday Serenity.  I'd love to know what your thoughts are on Australia? What have you heard about my country? Is Australia on your bucket …

Coastal Calm

Salty air and sea blown hair.​ ​There is something so mesmerising about the ocean that I will forever be drawn to. I live for the nights where I find myself staring into the dark abyss of waves. It calms me in a way that nothing else can. I wonder about the creatures that live in …

Candy Creations

Who could blame Hansel and Gretel for feeding into their temptation. And their mouths. You are looking at 'Sugar Spin' that featured at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art. Sugar. Who knew it could be as pleasing to the eye as it is our tastebuds. Some may smile at the colourful creations while other's may scowl …
