It seems fitting that I woke on the first official day of winter to a ghost-white panorama through the bedroom window. Toowoomba is like the Melbourne of the north (well, Queensland anyway), not so m...

I’ve been thinking about it — for a long time, actually — and I’ve decided that it’s you. You’re the one who’s missing out. {image source, which I love: massimo dotti}
As I begin to put wabiblog to bed, I want to have a little skate through my archives as an exercise in Seeing How Far I Have Come. The emotional outcome of this exercise is both positive and not-so-p...
Can I tell you something? There’s a little part of me that still loves flavoured milk. But there’s another bigger part of me that doesn’t want to consume gratuitous quantities of su...
You know on Playschool how you could look through the square window, the round window, or the arch window? As a kid, I think I would have preferred the arch window, but the 28-year-old me would go fo...
There is no better place to be in the autumn than on our side landing soaking up the morning sun. I like to sit out there with a cup of tea to warm my bare legs and to coax the cats to leave whatever...
I had a bit of a marketing disaster a couple of months back. I ordered 500 business cards from a semi-local printer in March, and due to my own frustration at the convoluted process and also my lack ...
A couple of weekends ago, when we were at the Sunshine Coast for my birthday, my sister and friends and I meandered down to a lovely café at Cotton tree for brunch. If I ever go out for breakfast, I ...
On Saturday afternoon, because my sister was visiting and the weather was divine, we decided to go bushwalking at Crow’s Nest Falls — some twenty minutes from where I live. We all donned our da...
You may remember fred and friends from such brilliant inventions as their russian nesting doll measuring cups and cakewich sandwich-shaped cake mold. I’m smitten with this daily mood flipchart,...
This song is huge. This song is amazing. Of course, I didn’t happen upon it by accident; it was recommended to me by my friend with unwaveringly exceptional taste in music. I’m already a ...
While catching up on blogs on the weekend, I read one of Joy Cho’s recent Happy Friday posts (here on oh joy!) titled “The Pause”. Although the focus was on parenting à la Français ...
Things in jars. I like things that come in jars: jams, pickles, olives, anchovies, morello cherries. And I like Nutella. But I’m not too sure how Nutella gets into the jar. How do they make som...
Yeah, I sing that to my dogs. What of it? They make me happy. They really do. My dogs are always super excited to see me. They’re always up for a cuddle. They never let me down. OK — that’...
Sometimes I don’t know what to say. Or what to do. Or which way to go. My head tells me to do that thing: to cross the street and leave all this behind. And then my stupid heart just lingers, f...
While we were at the coast on the weekend, we dropped into a delightful little tea shop called the silva spoon, which was full of speciality teas and the most beautiful range of cups, saucers, and po...
I’m a snacker. Snacking is OK. Snacking is good. Right? I snack late at night when I can’t sleep. This is less OK and good. I try to make sure that the snack is at least a quality snack i...
It’s Mother’s Day in Australia this coming Sunday, the 13th of May. I think that mothers definitely deserve a day of celebration and commemoration. From what I’ve heard, giving birt...
Ahoy there! Tomorrow is my birthday, so I am heading to the Sunshine Coast for a couple of days with my sister and three friendly friends. I am super excited — I have been looking forward to it all w...
