Five Things for Friday (vol. 6)

This week has been a screwy week. Yesterday, I woke up thinking it was Wednesday, then told myself I was lying and that it was actually Friday, and then realised it was Thursday. Quite the rollercoaster, and very disappointing to not be at the end of the week yet.

But here we are, it’s Friday, and here are five things for the week.

Cranky Picasso Paintings

One thing I love, like really, really love, is my son’s artwork. I have a frame on my wall that showcases the latest picture, and the inside is filled with many more. The more abstract it is, the better. It brings me so much joy. One of my most favourite ones is a portrait he painted of me for Mother’s Day, where the image resembles a duck more than me.…

Five Things for Friday (vol 5)

I’m currently writing this on my couch, on my iPad, typing away on my cool foldable keyboard. With a glass of wine within reach too, of course.

(Update: When I tried posting this it wouldn’t upload the images, so I’m now posting this from my laptop on Saturday morning. Kinda spoils my section later about enjoying posting from the iPad – not if it doesn’t work!)

Clothes decluttering

Inspired by my efforts to develop a capsule wardrobe, but mostly inspired by Nicole’s fashionable blog post, I decluttered my t-shirt drawer this morning.

Since my weight loss, I’ve been slowly getting better at donating the clothes I don’t fit anymore. But my tees have been a different story. I love an oversized shirt, or comfy worn out singlets that I wear under hoodies.…

Five Things for Friday (vol. 4)

We’re taking a short break from recapping my friend Kim’s trip to Australia with a quick five for Friday post!

Latest gadget purchase: ProtoArc Mobile Workstation

The social media algorithms got me, and recently I purchased the ProtoArc CaseUp Mobile Workstation kit. And it is freaking cool.

Essentially it’s a laptop stand, folding keyboard, and a mouse, all in one handy kit. It comes with a nice case as well to keep it all together.

I work from home, which means I’ve got a pretty comfortable setup with multiple monitors, etc. But when travelling for work, I only take my laptop, which means that if I’m away for a few days at a time, my neck gets sore from looking down.…

Five Things for Friday (vol. 3)

World Cup

I am really loving following the World Cup this year! My son is really getting into it as well, and it’s a highlight for me that first thing in the morning we turn the TV on and watch whatever game is playing at the time.

We’ve set some hard rules around tech at home this year, which means my son only gets tech Friday, Saturdays, and Sundays. That includes TV! So this feels like a huge treat for him.

My sister also convinced us to do a Fantasy Football competition, so we’re very much watching for the scorelines and who plays well. It seems like I’m doing something ok, because I’m currently winning the competition. My son is right there behind me, but as for my husband?…

Gold Coast Theme Parks, Big Emotions Bootcamp, and a 3am World Cup

It’s 3.15 am, and I’m awake at this unholy hour to watch Germany in their opening match of the World Cup.

As much as this is going to hurt later today, there’s something I love about waking up at dumb o’clock for things. It screams of a level of passion, stupidity, too, but waking up at these times has only ever been for good things. Whether it was the World Cup, my friend playing para Ice Hockey for Australia, or going on holidays, it’s always been for a good reason.

Of course, my brain also thinks that I may as well use up the time for productive things. So, as I sit here watching the game on one screen, I’m writing a blog post on the other.…
