I’m really excited for my third photo essay in this new series. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out the previous two, beaches and wildlife. This week’s photo essay is the city of Sydney, Australia. I realized that I never actually wrote about Sydney, having been there three times. Hopefully, I’ll eventually get […]
This weekend I wrote the first post in this holiday gift guide series about the perfect gifts for the traveler, but today I’m going to focus on a gift guide for the coffee lover. I love coffee. Some may call it an addiction, but I call it true love. As a matter of fact I’m drinking coffee as […]
As many of you know, I’m in New Zealand right now, but even though I won’t have the time to write posts until I get back I don’t want to leave you all with nothing, so here’s a post I kept meaning to write about Tasmania, because I love Tasmania and it’s easily my favorite […]
When I moved to Australia, Michael and I knew it was only going to be for the one year. Because of this we didn’t want to go all out and spend a ton of furniture we knew we were going to have to sell at the end of that one year. In the past both […]

I’m really bad about keeping my jewelry clean and just in general I’m pretty bad about maintaining my stuff (this is why I can’t have nice things). Flash backs to my leather boots that fell apart in quite the literal sense… Anyway, I love my engagement/wedding ring, I think it’s beautiful and even though I’m always […]
Jodi Picoult is one of those authors you either love or you hate and it really depends on personal preference. I, however, adore her books and devour them in usually just a few sittings. Leaving Time was no different and actually had probably one of the most surprising ends of any of her books. 4 out […]
I’m all about the baked goods the past couple of days if you can’t tell. But I love to eat and I love to eat bad food. And even better if I make it myself! I’m big on cookies, but there’s nothing more satisfying than cake. One of my biggest pet peeves are dry cakes […]
I’m a huge fan of cocoa powder. Not really for any reason except I can get a whole box of cocoa powder for the same price as a bar of chocolate here in Australia, so it’s much better value to make recipes that use it instead. I noticed though that very few actually exist […]
