Long time no post, I know, I know, but life sucked me in and has only just recently decided to spit me back out! I’ll write up what happened to me another time, but right now I’ve just popped on briefly to share how we plan our Christmas gifts. A few years ago we decided … Continue reading

{Real Living} Embracing a Minimalish Wardrobe
My friends and I used to joke that I have enough clothes to wear a different item every day, without ever having to repeat an outfit. While it’s true that that was (is) a joke, the reality is that I have far more clothes than I need. The reason for the glut of garments relates to … Continue reading
{Reggio Inspired} Creating a Provocation Space

I suppose I should really thank them for that because it wasn’t until I was pulling everything out of the pantry to try to remove the trail of ants that I really looked at it. It’s a fairly disorganised … Continue reading
