I admit, there are times when I do not have a good attitude. When the things that need to be done are done with grumbling and frustration. While I can look around my home and find joy, there are also times when it all feels too much and I wish someone else could cook dinner … Continue reading At Home: to move quietly
Yesterday morning, my study could only be described with one word: cluttered. Yes, you heard me right. Filled with things that surely had other places to belong! It reminded me of the different moves I’ve had this year; surfaces heaped with random bits you need, furniture cramped into the space, special items that no longer … Continue reading Home Refresh (and renewing contentment)
I have been trying to spend my time more intentionally after eight. I want to make sure I wind down properly before bed. As someone who wakes up early and tries to be in bed at 9 (I know it’s early lol!), I wanted to stop trying to fall asleep with my mind so active … Continue reading Intentional Summer Evenings
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
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
My favourite part of the past week has been going for walks and discovering the local secondhand shops. They’ve been so full of lovely things, I’ve had to tell myself I don’t need everything right now. (Including a nice floral jug, which I’m sure I can find in nearly every secondhand shop there is.) But … Continue reading Settling In
I’m in a new space. One where I am the furthest away from what I thought my future would be, but closest to the one that will eventualise. It’s a funny feeling. This isn’t what I would have chosen for myself, but most things become normal very quickly. Of course there are moments when I … Continue reading What Comes Next
I’m in the final week of living here, which is bizarre but great. As I said in my last post, I feel ready for the move, ready for the next thing. I think it’ll be good for me. This week was meant to be filled with work, long drives, saying goodbye, and packing. Only I’ve … Continue reading Taking Some Space
I have written about the seasons countless times. It is perhaps the thing I admire and appreciate most of God’s creation (other than flowers, maybe). I love that God gave us organised change, and the chance for something different and new. The beginning of each season always feels like a blessing; starting something is special. … Continue reading Slowly Receiving Autumn
