We love to look at houses to buy. We’re far (oh so very far) from being in a position to buy a house but I like to know what I’m aiming for. Or what my goals are, I guess. I don’t really like the word goals very much. I think it’s also interesting to know […]

Interviews With Myself Part 2: Laugh Link
Last week I decided to interview myself. At the end, “we” were at a stalemate. This week, the saga continues… Me: So, Queen Slimsy Cowpea, another long weekend has come and gone. Me: Really, is that the only topic you can ask questions on? I mean, of ALL the things to talk […]
Blogging Is Awesome
I had meant to go out to the markets this morning for a wander. Instead I ended up lying in bed, playing on Pinterest and generally doing nothing. In fact, I only go out of bed because my iPad battery was down to 3%. (I know, first world problems, right?) Zoning out…relaxing…whatever you […]
Driving Lessons
In the middle of looking for my current diary today (temporarily lost in the furniture moves around the house), I came across a diary from 2009. Which is the year I learned to drive. It was also strange timing because I had taken Ben out for a driving lesson this morning too. But what […]
Before Blogging
Sometimes it’s hard to imagine a time before blogging. There has been some discussion around the internet lately about how and why people started their blogs. My journey to blogging isn’t that clear. I really can’t remember why or how I started – I’ve been writing online in one way or another for about […]
Writing Journey
I’m always on a writing journey. I have a lot of half written books (fiction and non fiction) and even more story ideas in their own blank document. A few days ago I unexpectedly came up with a hook or theme to tie together a lot of stories I’ve been saving for years. I […]
Interviews With Myself: Laugh Link
I keep meaning to resurrect my weekly Saturday interview series with other bloggers. Only I keep forgetting to actually email people with questions. So I figured I would just interview myself. Me: Hi Vanessa, we’re so glad to have you here today! Me: Thanks, it’s great to be here! Me: First things […]
Brilliance
Yesterday, I noticed some traffic coming onto my blog from Kidspot. I thought that was a bit odd, as I don’t generally read the site much (seeing as it’s largely parenting and I’m not a parent, though I do frequently act like a child). It turns out I had been nominated for Voices of 2014 […]
An Office
I need an office at home. Not an office space – I have that now. I need an office. With a door. I need to be able to close the door. I have a lot of things I want to achieve this year, because I feel like my life hasn’t progressed in recent years and […]
Can You Really Work There?
Australia has always been a country where the main spheres of industry have been in Sydney or Melbourne. Sure, big companies often have offices in other cities, but the events, the networking – it’s mostly in Sydney or Melbourne. With the amount of people working remotely from their office or only online, there […]
