As we approach Christmas and the end of another year, it's time to look back. 2014 has been one crazy year. It's INCREDIBLE to finally be coming out the other side of the mayhem at last. I don't know about you, but I'm constantly putting pressure on myself to do more and then berating myself for not being able to get everything done. I never feel like I reach my potential, partly because I tend to spread myself thin and get involved in too many things. I love being creative, but it is also . . . Keep Reading
10 questions answered for the Liebster Award
I *think* we've finally got on top of the unpacking and the admin. We've even managed to get a night or two off over the last week to watch a movie and relax at night. After two months of non-stop work this feels incredible, and sometimes I wonder whether I'll be able to get back up again from the sofa!Anyway, I'm back to blogging at last and have an epic list of content I want to create over the coming weeks.

For the first time in years I feel I'm exactly where I'm supposed . . . Keep Reading
Emigration to do list: Part two #Myexpatfamily
Following on from part one of my emigration to do list (which covered everything we did before we left to UK for our new life in Australia), here is part two, which is an emigration checklist of all the things you need to do when you arrive in Australia. We were clearly deluded into thinking the hard part was leaving the UK. Of course, the emotional side of things was very difficult, and so was the sheer amount of admin we had to do to close our lives down. But nothing prepared us for the busy . . . Keep Reading
Emigration to do list: Part one
Sorry for another long silence. I can't believe how busy we've been since arriving in Australia six weeks ago. I'm really hoping that things calm down in the next couple of weeks as I'm totally exhausted. I've got a few more family emigration blog posts to get out of my system before I get back to blogging about the usual family/travel/lifestyle things, so if you aren't interested in moving abroad with your family, please bear with me! It seems like a waste to go through something so epic and . . . Keep Reading
