Rare day out

Honestly, it’s near impossible to get this child to find some free time to spend with us. And then to get her to pose for a photo! Miracle of miracles.

Catching the rays

It’s hardly winter, but the air is getting crispier and cooler, and so Lisa looks for any ray of sunlight …and then hogs it. I’m just here to take the photos!

A Mother’s Day treat

Took myself out for a custard slice and a whipped cream cappuccino. Kids were at home, so had some peace and quiet. A win-win!

Another notebook

Maybe one day I will have enough notebooks, but to day is not the day. Isn’t this one gorgeous? It also has a glossy finish, which makes it even better. And its a blank. Perfection!

I am keeping myself accountable to my 2025 vision, and am doing a monthly recap. January feels like a lifetime away, but it’s only been a week! It also feels like a lot happened in Jan.

New Years Day was spent recuperating from an amazing New Years Eve party, which we spent with G’s friends (52 of them!), at the coast. Climbed a mountain and loved the views. Stunning day.

Then there was still another week of holiday, during which we did nothing but chill and rest. Oh! And we ate (twice!) at a restaurant run by a Michelin star’d chef.

Micole started her Honors program. Final year of school for her!

Back home, I went shooting, and had a blast. Excuse the pun. And ate more excellent food. Again and again!

Micole and G went to see My Fair Lady, and everyone – including my sister and partner – went out for pre-theatre dinner. That was fun too.

I walked, hiked and started to do yoga/stretching.

I continued to write my newsletter, and went deep into work mode in the second half of the month. Lots of strategy, lots of plans.

Met up with friends for leisurely coffees and very long chats. Reconnected with some long-distance friends. Spent quality time with G, and loved every minute of it.

Looking back, January was indeed a blast. I hope I savoured each moment. I look forward to carrying these vibes through to the rest of the year.

Join me in my musings and adventures as I live and love my second (and best!) chapter, together with my 2 kids and beloved dog! ❤️

I have a newsletter!
It lands in your inbox on Saturdays, and is filled with fun links, stories, book and movie recommendations, my wild thoughts, a bit of pop psychology, a bit of inspo lifestyle, and a whole lot of “so this is midlife!” kind of stuff 🙂
