Twelve / January 2012

January 30, 2012

One of my goals this year was to take more photos as a way of documenting our lives better.

I happened to come across Amy Gretchen’s blog where she posts a 12 of 12 blog post each month. You can read more about it here.

Inspired by her idea, I wanted to do something similar. But instead of taking 12 photos on the one day and doing it on the 12th of each month, I’m choosing 12 photos from each month and sharing them in a blog post on the last day of each month. And because I have …

Piquing my Pinterest / wise words from Pooh

January 29, 2012

Oh hai. Welcome to another edition of Piquing my Pinterest.

I’m feeling kinda bad because I didn’t get around to commenting on everyone’s pins last week but be assured that I did look at them. The advantage of being able to read blogs on your iphone late at night when you can’t sleep. The disadvantage is that my iphone doesn’t play nicely when I want to leave a comment on those blogs *sad panda face*

Anyhoo.

Is it just me that didn’t realise that Pooh is one wise little bear?

Decorating with wall stickers

January 27, 2012

We’ve been redecorating our living room (sneak peek photo here) over the last few weeks and the wall that the low-line cabinet with the TV on top was against was bugging me because it was very bare.

I didn’t want to hang photos or prints or anything that would be too distracting, and when I came across wall stickers on eBay I decided that a big, pretty tree would look awesome on that wall – forgetting that those wall stickers can be the work of the devil and that it would come in small pieces and it is …

thursday three/ what’s to love about australia?

January 26, 2012

I’m playing along with Lisa’s Thursday Three this week and seeing as today is Australia Day, she asked us to share three things that we love about this country of ours.

winters that aren’t really winters. Every Aussie winter when I’m complaining about it being freezing and that I can’t feel my toes, Bill’s family in Scotland and England like to remind me that what I am experiencing is not a winter and that they can show me a Winter. I thank my lucky stars that I don’t need to dig myself out of my house in the mornings …
