There really is nothing more important than the self-realisation that you have all you need. The importance of filling your cup instead of rejoining the hype and craziness of the pre lockdown rat race. This week has felt weird. My husband has been back at work for a while, my boys have returned to levelContinue reading “Filling your cup”

Level 3 is not Level 1.
I didn’t really know what to write about this week. There isn’t a lot of variation in the news apart from Covid-19 angled stories of late. I am a little over thinking about Covid-19, stuck between being sick of wondering when things will return to normal and suspecting we are somewhat already there. For theContinue reading “Level 3 is not Level 1.”
Backyard Tourism
On a sunny day there is nowhere more magical to me than my home town Rotorua. Like anywhere else in New Zealand the natural beauty seems to be highlighted by the glimmering rays of sunshine bouncing off our forests and lakes. We take for granted our natural resources and cultural hot spot that has drawnContinue reading “Backyard Tourism”
A new reality
We have started to plan things as a family that we want to do and places we want to visit once life returns as much to normal as possible. I’m not just talking about level three or even level two but more so when we are at level one or even out of the Covid-19Continue reading “A new reality”
Finding reassurance
I drove my car this week for the first time in 27 days. I went to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription and came straight back home. My husband has done our essential grocery shopping and apart from bike rides to exercise and entertain the boys, we’ve remained home the entire lockdown. It feltContinue reading “Finding reassurance”
Homeschooling is not for me!
Today marks one week since I began homeschooling my two boys in lockdown. Today marks one week of survival. As I sit here grabbing a precious few moments to write, they are back on their devices to give me a moments peace. I had planned to write this week about finding reassurance and hope inContinue reading “Homeschooling is not for me!”
Repetition madness – Losing control?
Coping with lock-down stress is something I am living first hand. Usually I feel so much more in control. I am a normal mother, with a normal life. Two kids at home and a husband in tow. Put me in a lock-down bubble and I fear its making me lose control. I am motivated byContinue reading “Repetition madness – Losing control?”
The loss of Bauer
I’ve spent many moments trawling the pages of my favourite fashion magazine, dreaming up ways to get my hands on the fashion within. I always flick through a magazine first. Looking at the pictures, captions, titles and layout. I read the spine notes, always identifying the journalists, photographers, models and contributors on each page. IContinue reading “The loss of Bauer”
Lock-down life.
It’s funny how you can become so used to something. After some initial up and down emotions, I seem to have settled in to lock-down life. I wonder if it’s because we have a potential end line in sight, something we are all hanging on to, something that is giving us hope. Or maybe youContinue reading “Lock-down life.”
Covid-19 Survival
“And then the whole world walked inside and shut their doors and said we will stop it all. Everything. To protect our weaker ones, our sicker ones, our older ones. And nothing . Nothing in the history of humankind ever felt more like love than this.” – CD I lost my part time job thisContinue reading “Covid-19 Survival”
