    November 2018: Gratitude

    I forgot to breathe in October… something about being away all summer, then literally just playing catch up all September and October. No breathing, just drowning, racing, gasping for air – and then I stopped for coffee and it was all good again. But that was last month… I...

    Learn More About Steph Edwards and Reiki

    Aussie expats seem to move in small circles. I feel like wherever I’ve lived (I mean outside of Australia of course), I seem to gravitate towards fellow Australians, and then through them, I meet more crazy Aussies!  This is a good thing, oh, except then we all reminisce and...
  • Italy Puglia Trullo

    MIS-Adventures in a Lesser Known Part of Italy – Puglia

    When you run out of things to say to someone, the inevitable question is always, “so where are you headed for the summer holidays?”. However, I swear, if I do ask you that question, I’ve NOT run out of things to say to you! I’m genuinely interested. Because I...
  • A Lesson in Modern Calligraphy

    I often procrastinate about doing something, and then, when I finally get to do it, it has to be TODAY, or ok, tomorrow! This was the case for me looking at workshops on modern calligraphy. I looked for months. Then all of a sudden, it just had to be done!...
  • London Afternoon Tea

    London Afternoon Tea Times Three

    Recently, I was lucky enough to do three afternoon teas within seven months. However, it was unlucky enough that two of these were farewell occasions. (Note to self, stop hanging out with people who leave!! Another note to self, keep those boot camp sessions, tennis lessons, netball training going…)...

    Tween Shopping, a Holiday Treat

    Think about what you dislike about tween shopping, and well, for yourself also. Busy change rooms, searching for outfits, finding someone to help you, queuing (with tweens in tow!)… Well, I’ve found something better. And when I say better, I mean an experience that just makes it easy, even...
  • Scrapbooking

    Scrapbooking and New Discoveries

    I ADORE stationery! I could rummage around a stationery shop and trawl through websites like bureaudirect.com or even Amazon.com for hours on end – I don’t even have to buy anything. I just love stationery! Strangely though, I am always short on pens, staplers, pencils and erasers at home. Weirdly, my...
  • Missing the Tastes of Singapore in London: C & R Café

    Many years ago, whilst living in London, footloose and fancy free without kids (we call those times BC, i.e. “Before Children”), the Man and I discovered this little hidden gem, surreptitiously tucked away in a wee, cobbled lane in Soho – strictly two persons walking abreast. Needless to say,...
  • Tween Shopping and Good Coffee at Kaffeine

    So, The Man came home last night at 0230, that’s 02:30am for the 24-hour clock challenged people. (I must admit, I can be 24-hour clock challenged before my caffeine hit each morning.) Therefore, I got little to no sleep as once I’m up, I’m up!  And today we are hitting...
