Continue reading →: Work Trip Packing ListIn my new job, I travel a bit more than my last role, and it’s primarily domestic, regional travel, not capital cities. So my packing list has changed to reflect that. Because I travel for shorter periods, and am less likely to have time to wash them, I find I…

Continue reading →: Cottage gardenMy new home has a couple of bare/hardly used garden beds, huzzah! One such bed is long and skinny, and runs along one side of my driveway. It has a concrete border on one side, and a log border that’s rotting away on the neighbour’s side. It has one sad,…

Continue reading →: Learning to fix my carI’ve got a goal this year to do more of my car maintenance and repairs myself. I know how to change my oil and filters, and the next step is taking on more of the work I would normally go to a mechanic for because it’s easier, rather than because…

Continue reading →: Everyday Carry ListI’m a big fan of MacGyver’s ‘the bag isn’t for what I take with me, it’s for what I find along the way’ approach – to packing, to my work bag, my hand bag, you name it. I do have a list of essentials I keep in a little zip…

Continue reading →: A Real ChristmasA real Christmas doesn’t have to be loud, curated and in-your-face. It doesn’t need an overspend competition on who can rack up debt to pretend they want all the over the top things. It doesn’t need to be religious to be real.

Continue reading →: Read the world #2In a world of constant change — from global conflicts to economic downturns, climate change and social tensions — it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But I find understanding what’s happening and why it matters to me and my community actually helps me feel more grounded and prepared. I don’t sink…

Continue reading →: Keep your shit cleanCleaning can feel endless, especially when you’ve got a house and a yard, housemates, family, pets, a life… Over the years I’ve learned that a simple, consistent routine beats the occasional frantic deep clean every time. The trick is to break tasks into small, manageable chunks and focus on what…
