💨 CHANGE I embrace change like I’d embrace a cup of cold sick. I don’t handle it well but unfortunately for me sometimes it’s inevitable. We get taught at an early age that change will happen wether we like it or not, one minute we are frolicking free and then puberty jumps it’s sneaky ass on us. Girls get them pups slapped straight on their chests, and as for the ‘monthly cycle’ well that can suck a dick. Boys get impromptu visits from the sergeant standing at attention and their voices go up and down as much as a prostitutes knickers 🤦🏽‍♀️ You could beRead More →

Don’t let people mistake your kindness for weakness…ever. We all know the motto, be kind to unkind people. Help those who need help. Put the shoe on the other foot and walk the footsteps of someone else to envisage their situation. However, learn to recognise the signs of when you are being taken advantage of rather than depended upon. Learn to recognise the difference between genuine need, and being a convenience. Learn to open yours eyes and decide when it’s time to ask “are you ok?” And when it’s time to say “you can do this on your own” Majority of us try our bestRead More →

You could b thinking I’m talking about money , nah… That’s made to be spent, bills, kids , house, taxes, debt, holidays, online shopping whatever your heart desires. Me personally I have f**k all of it so most of these apply to me 😜 We all want the nice car, the new tv, the holiday and the bigger house. I’m talking about time. On the important stuff, like the off spring. Don’t be that mum, dad, grandparent that misses out by being ‘too busy’. Key word ….’Prioritise’ I’m no model parent that’s for sure, I feed my kids way too much noodles and pies andRead More →

I regularly visit FB to read what is happening in the lives of my loved ones and every now and then I am taken by what is said… some things are “Ok… don’t get it but ok?” and sometimes there are words of a “Moment in time”, something that just makes sense, something that makes you think, sometimes helps you find an answer or even just makes you go “Absolutely”. Tonight I read a statement by my daughter Dae -Maree in her Facebook post after a jogging session with my grand daughter Aijah, which I hope she doesn’t mind me sharing. “A treat of freshRead More →

With our house sitting in Sumner over and although we have had an amazing time, it was at the same time good to get back into our routine in our Moho. We spent the last two days moving bits and pieces of our own back into our motorhome. We picked Rosie and Giles up from the airport and the poor guys looked absolutely shattered from their long flight back from the UK, so with Jude and I already being aware that this would be the case we decided not to stay too long and allow the travellers to get some well needed sleep. Leaving themRead More →

Well it is now the weekend and what was days to go only seems like hours now. It’s Friday night and it’s over to Lyttelton for dinner and the Lyttelton Festival Of Lights. It’s 1600hrs and we decided to go early as we wanted to beat the crowd and to ensure we don’t have to fight for a seat at any of the restaurants. Once over at Lyttelton which was a quick as easy drive, the market food stalls were setting and boy did the aroma of different food flood our hungry nostrils… easy decision, it’s going to be stall food for dinner but firstRead More →
