Someone the other day commented on how I like “old things” and I was pleasantly surprised they had noticed. While there are aspects of my life that do not line up with traditional ways of living, such as working full-time, I love the concept of following more traditional practises where I can. It is in … Continue reading Femininity: preserving the past
I only just realised I haven’t posted a reading list since August. While my reading has slowed down a little bit, I am still reading everyday and slowly making my way through a few at a time. I generally read a chapter of a Christian book in the mornings, fiction during my lunch break, and … Continue reading October 2022 Reads
All the windows and doors are open, with a cool breeze passing through the lounge room. It is early on a Saturday morning – because if there’s one thing I can’t do, it’s sleep in. Yes, even on a weekend. Now I am more settled in my home and with work, I am motivated by … Continue reading Femininity: living intentionally
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve blogged. I’ve sat down numerous times to write out a post, but I’ve been distracted with everything that’s been going on. Because – I moved! The exciting and exhausting process has once again been made, only this time I can be settled for a while. If you … Continue reading The Busy Bullet Journal
When I stepped out of my car after work yesterday and into the evening air, I could smell some flowers. It was not yet dark but I could see the white glow of the moon surrounded by clouds.

As I said in this post, I wanted something to feel organised and where everything could be in one place as I adjusted to full-time work and needed to plan and think ahead more. The good news is, I am still loving it! It … Continue reading Continuing the Bullet Journal
A Lizard’s Song (written by Sarah Bennett) I was walking home from the shops, a single bag tucked under my arm. I want to say it was filled with celery and carrots, greenery poking out the top, but I had only purchased eyeliner from the pharmacy and a cheap bottle of wine. The sun came … Continue reading A Lizard’s Song / Poem
I’ve been loving reading books about writing lately. Not only did I finish three, I’m currently in the midst of another three! They all vary in their focus which is helpful; I am currently reading one about poetry, one about famous authors and their writing spaces, and one about Russian short stories (very specific, but … Continue reading August 2022 Reads
Gold (written by Sarah Bennett) Our jeans are covered in grass stains from a day of rolling down hills, Ripped on the fence we climbed over To escape the terror you created in your own mind. When we walk on the shore you break the seashells. I want to save the delicate, A reminder to … Continue reading Gold / Poem
I've been sitting in the sun and realising I have more time than I thought I did. In starting a full-time job, I knew there would be an adjustment period as I got used to a time-sensitive to-do list on the weekend and more responsibility in how I spent my evenings. To help minimise the … Continue reading Learning to Prioritise
