Hello! Long time between blog posts! It seems that this little (ha) renovation of ours is taking up all our time and energy these days and though I have good intentions to blog all about it, I just don’t get there. Oh well. The renovation is going well though. I’ve been sharing the occasional progress…
It’s Coming Together… Slowly
It’s been a few months since I last updated you on our farmhouse renovation, and my goodness, I have a lot to show you! We’re not in yet, but it feels like the end is in sight (you can check out where the renovation was up to last time here). The roof is now on, the…
Lately
Hooray for holidays, and not a moment too soon. On Friday afternoon Hannah and I left school 30 seconds after the bell rang, and we were on the road to Sydney within 15 minutes of us getting home. We spent the weekend with my family and then went to the Easter show on Monday. The…

She commutes with me most mornings and catches the bus home in the afternoon. After decreeing that 2017 was the year to get intentional about…
Settling or Unsettling
