This week is crazy. It’s usually crazy this time of year anyway but this year in particular! It’s all very exciting though so it’s okay. Today I finished most of the packing I have left and moved one trailer load of stuff to the flat. Mostly boxes because we’ll move the furniture tomorrow. I even… Read more »

Bits & Pieces: Life
I’m typing this post as I wait for web pages to load. The rain is making my internet slow and that is a very frustrating thing indeed! Particularly when I’m trying to get through a pile of blog posts that have been sitting in my BlogLovin’ feed for…ooh…months now. It’s ridiculous. I actually unsubcribed to… Read more »
Margot and Bella (& Lexi)
As I mentioned yesterday, I have two new additions to my family in the form of guinea pigs! It sort of happened on a whim, on October 11th. I had been researching guinea pig care for about a week but wasn’t entirely sure I would get any yet, then I went to a pet store… Read more »
Getting more adult
Not adult as in I am going to blog erotic fanfiction or something. Which would be amusing because I’m not a great fiction writer and I’m pretty sure if I tried my had at erotic fiction it would sound like a 13-year-old wrote it. But adult as in growing up. One of the biggest milestones… Read more »

Blogger pregnancy watch
I should be writing two report drafts, an essay, and studying for two tests. Instead I’m painfully waiting for my slow internet to load blogs and Twitter, specifically Rebecca’s Twitter in case she goes into labour in which case I will pee myself a little with excitement. Last year I was on pregnancy watch with… Read more »
Weekend
This past weekend was the loveliest. I had the best time with almost all of the important people in my life. On Friday I hung out with my youngest niece, Miss Three-Years-Old-Thank-You-Very-Much, who prances around in gumboots on our farm, hunting for worms and slaters to feed the chickens. She delights in the all the… Read more »
Pretty Things: Turquoise Edition
Ever-inspired by turquoise, here is a bunch of turquoise stuff. I might do more of these colour-themed Pretty Things posts because I like organising items by colour. Yes? No? This Cuckoo Clock from Catching Fireflies, via Rare Bird Finds. This Too Much Fun dress in Paradise and this Out to Sea Foam dress from Mod… Read more »
21/100 Songs
I am absolutely a nineties child, it is my favourite decade (along with the current one), probably because it was the one my childhood was spent in. I have so many amazing memories from it and this song is one of them. 21. Just A Girl by No Doubt
Ferm Living Autumn/Winter ’11 Collection
Stumbled across Ferm Living’s new Autumn/Winter 2011 catalogue earlier today (via Apartment Therapy) and fell in love. Hard. The whole concept is so perfect and the photography nothing short of delicious. From the catalogue: We took ourselves, our designs and our house into the wild woods. We climbed the trees, we danced in the rain,… Read more »
