I have acquired a penchant for designer furniture over the past several years, which is a bit of a concern! I love the look of contemporary Scandinavian designs – that beautiful blonde timber which teams perfectly with white/grey tones. When I was pregnant my friends, Jen and Anja, expressed their concerns of how would
Pantone Perfection
I love colour! I drool over colour paint cards at the hardware store and I have the Dulux website saved as a favourite in my browser! Sad, I know! When painting our house, I drove Nick nuts with trying to decide which ‘white’ would work….Berkshire, Natural, Antique White USA?? I couldn’t contain my excitement

Poppy is a little wobbly – but she is now taking several steps at a time! She then stops, looks a little surprised and retreats to the safety of the floor. She is so chuffed with herself…and her new red skinny’s, she had to make a call!
Mountain Biking Adventures
I am a bit of a wuss when it comes to mountain biking, as I am too afraid of hurting myself! However, I have enjoyed numerous rides with my friends over the years. These photos are from the 12 Hour MTB race held at Four Springs way back in 2006. Our team (Pip,
Bushwalking Adventures
There have been many, many bushwalking adventures over the years! Tasmania has some of the most beautiful walks in the country and it has been a big part of my life for a long time – both personally and professionally. There have been numerous trips into the mountains with my girlfriends and sisters (Bronny,
A Bird in the Hand
I have a fantastic application – A Bird in the Hand (from the Tasmanian Parks & Wildlife Service) on my iPhone. Poppy LOVES listening to the various calls of the Tasmanian birds – she even pouts her lips as she tries to whistle like them!

Sail Away…
Here is some footage of Nick’s journey from South Australia. They are currently in Port Davey on the West Coast of Tassie – and homeward bound. We will be very pleased to welcome our sailor home!
On another note – little Poppy’s top teeth are giving her (and I) lots of grief. Last night she had a PB of waking every hour an a half – CRYING! My day at work today was quite a challenge to say the least. Poor little thing. I have brought in the back up tonight – Bonjella and Panadol. Fingers crossed. L x
