Whew, that was quick, I know – but I’m back with more lovely girlie fun!
Like I said in my last post “Merry Kristin – on the 12th Day of Christmas”, I adore Sydney, champagne and pretty places – I seem to have found a few – yesterday’s hero was Madame Fling Flong in Newtown. Today [...]

Christmas is here again and I’m picking up my posts almost to the day I dropped them off last year – meant to be?? I think so. (Well, actually – it was a little encouragement from my friend, Andrew Blanda – thanks Andrew!)
If you recall (or maybe you don’t since I only had 1 reader [...]

Ni Hao!
I’m still chugging along here not wanting to disappoint my loyal reader (thanks, hubba hubbie!). I’m enjoying Advent and really thinking about what I appreciate about being in Sydney. A LOT.
But our lives here would not be possible without one thing. This is has helped us survive in Sydney. Without it, we’d still [...]
On the 10th day of Advent, Sydney gave to me…scads of cool free treasures on every curb

So…after we moved into our awesome pad, I noticed some strange happenings in the hood.
People abandon good treasures! They leave them out for all to procure. And, being frugal like I am, and loving to recycle and reuse, I found this to be the most magnificent of gifts!
I’ve seen couches, barbeques, shelves, photo albums, [...]

I will break from what is becoming quite a gallery of glittery snaps to bring you some straight scoop.
I had a lot to do to get us ready to come here. It was lofty, to pack it up and ship us out in under a month. We laughed, we cried, we a lot of [...]
On the 8th Day of Advent, Sydney gave to me…Afternoon Tea at the Chinese Garden of Friendship

Doesn’t that just sound like a grand place to visit??!! Well it is, and so much more. After a harried day in the city, I was on my way to a full-blown anxiety attack. My hubba hubbie lovingly and gently guided me to the Chinese Garden of Friendship.
It was the most serene place I’ve been [...]

I’ll be honest…I don’t get too over-the-top about Christmas. I love the actual holiday and what it means, and I love my family, but I don’t skip around playing holiday carols, waving candy canes in the air and wearing reindeer sweaters.
But I’ve a visited a place that could convert me…THE CHRISTMAS CAVE! It claims to [...]

So…I got to see a little of the inland country. I was hired to train Lachlan Catchment Management Authority and I had a wonderful experience! It was a quaint, friendly and totally lovely trip. I can’t wait to return.
Here is the view from my tiny plane…
And a pic of the airport – isn’t is darling?!
But [...]

I love the water – specifically, I love the ocean. It’s my favourite place to be – it’s my inspiration, my center, my home. So when my hubba hubbie asked me if I wanted to move to Sydney, I said, “Heck yes!”
Where else in the world could be live to be near so much water [...]
On the third day of Advent, Sydney gave to me….Fabulous Ferries

I took my first trip on a Sydney Ferry last weekend and it was AMAZING! Here is are a few pics from my trip on the way to Manly Beach (for an awesome Thanksgiving Party – shout to Becky Reining).
The trip on the ferry was the best part – the party was grand – but [...]
