Right, so this is 100% inspired by Leonie’s blog post, which you can find here! I thought it could be fun to go over a list of things I accomplished in 2021. If you’d like to go more in depth, you can read my monthly reviews here: January February March April May June July August…
Hello dear readers, and welcome to the December overview. Firstly, can I get a “hoooooo boy”? Did December nearly ruin anyone else? December is ALWAYS intense, but this year I just felt so overwhelmed and exhausted. The end of 2021, a challenging and intense year! This month’s overview is a story told with mostly images,…
Happy New Year friendos! I hope everyone’s holiday season was gentle and relaxing. It’s 2022 in Australia (and also far too hot). But let’s talk goals! New Years, goals, resolutions, new year new me… Contentious even during times when a global pandemic hasn’t left most of us feeling completely burnt out and miserable. I’m big…
Holiday greetings, my friends! It’s nearly Christmas for me, so I sit here writing to you today wearing one of my ugly Xmas sweaters with plans to wrap presents and write some cards this afternoon. But for now, let’s have a look back at November and all that happened! Let’s start with a garden update!…
One of my goals for this year was to write at least one blog post a month. And so far I’m on track to achieve that goal, which is really blowing my mind. I’ve written monthly overviews for every month since January, and have even managed to write other blog posts in between. The point…
Hey hi hello! It’s that time again, where I tell you all about my month. September was a whirlwind (and honestly, October has carried on that theme as well) so I’m just gonna jump right on in! First up, let’s take a few precious second to remember that while I’m somewhat intelligent, I’m not always…
Hello dear readers! Today I’m talking about a topic I’m unfortunately far too familiar with; burnout. I’ve written about burnout before, but right now I am in the trenches; fighting tooth and nail to try and find some balance and reprieve. So I thought it might be helpful for me to detail how my days…
Well! Hello there! Fancy seeing you here! You may have noticed a distinct lack of blog posts from me during August… And that is because August. Was. Hard. I spent 11 days in a flare up (not consecutive), two bouts of tonsillitis and have been struggling with pretty severe insomnia and burnout. Don’t get me…
Happy August! July kicked my ass! Sorry, that’s probably not the best way to start this monthly review but that’s what you’re getting. July seriously, seriously took it out of me. We moved house July 1st, so the last 4 weeks have been a flurry of all the super fun (AKA mentally and physically draining)…
I’m taking this upcoming weekend all to myself. It is, in a word, required. I’m run down from the move, under the weather and just generally exhausted. It’s been non-stop for the last two months, what with packing and then moving and then unpacking (which, no, I still haven’t finished). I realised that this weekend…
