Aloha! I’ve been on quite a long hiatus, because I’ve been spending all of my (limited) spare time wedding planning. I thought it fitting to jump back in with a wedding related post. I spent a lot of time putting together a playlist to rock-out to while us girls got ready to go. I remember […]
Australia’s relationship with the queen is fascinating! Australia is a constitutional monarchy, which means they operate under the rules and regulations of a constitutional government, much like what I am used to in the USA, but they recognize the Queen as the Head of State. The Queen is not involved in day-to-day affairs of the […]
Because Easter and ANZAC Day fell in the same week this year, we were able to take 3 days off work and have 10 days of vacation! Immediately following our trip to Bali we headed to Kuala Lumpur to spend the ANZAC long weekend. This trip was definitely the tale of extremes! Bali was so rural, beautiful […]
I live my life by 3 simple rules: Know who you are: I love animals. I am a restless spirit. I am drawn to the water. I need, not want, need to travel. Because I know these things about myself, I always have the next trip (or 4) planned. I do not own property because […]
This week is complete chaos. Along came Wednesday, and I didn’t even realize Wednesday was happening until it was over. So that means this installment of “What I ate Wednesday”, is actually “What I ate Thursday.” Breakfast: 557 cal As I usually do, I started my day with coffee, but due to my busy meeting […]
“How very Australian of you!” said everyone I told that we were going to Bali over Easter. Even better, most of my team at work was there at the same time as we were, though not one of them had the experience that we did. We are adventure travelers; we want to see and do […]
Late last year, I made two posts about moving my fur-babies to Australia. (Can I move my dogs to Australia? (part 1) and Can I move my dogs to Australia? (part 2)) I left you without resolution on my import permits, which I’m sure by now you’ve figured out were awarded, and without the remaining […]
This has been a crazy week! Shit is hitting the fan at work, which makes eating healthy and at reasonable times difficult. Today was, literally, back to back meetings. I did remember to keep track of what I was eating, however. Juice (to take my vitamins with and hold me over to breakfast): 88 cal, […]
The best part about being home from vacation is the anticipation of my nephews and niece receiving their postcards. I was on the phone with my sister when the boys received theirs. I listened as they asked her to read them. It made my morning to know that they were so excited by the few […]
This topic is inspired by (openly ripped off) Detoxinista, who is one of my favorite heathy/clean eating bloggers. I will not be staging my meals to look beautiful and more appealing, rather you’ll see what I ate, where I ate it, at whatever stage during the meal that I remembered to photograph it with my […]
