I was nominated for the Liebster Award a while back by my friend Sarah, from Sarahdipity, and then again recently by my friend Christos, of Miliking Meanderings. It seems I didn’t quite do everything properly! In short, the award to encourage more traffic for bloggers with less than 1000 followers. I did not know atContinueContinue reading “Liebster Award – Take Two”

The Liebster Award
Like my friend Sarah, from Sarahdipity, I had never heard of the Liebster Award, until she nominated me for it last week. Basically, it is an award for bloggers to pass onto fellow bloggers as a means of support and encouragement.

An Egg a Day Keeps Exhaustion At Bay?
For over a month now I’ve had eggs every morning for breakfast. Every. Morning. I’ve always been a cereal or toast kind of girl, so it has proven difficult to change the habit.

Uncle Pete was the first person we would see on our visit to Brisbane as he would pick us up from the airport.

The (Jane Austen) Book Club
* The names of the people in this blog have been changed to characters from Jane Austen’s novels to protect their identities. Similarities between the characters and the book clubbers may be intentional but they may not. Jane greeted me at the door with her infectious smile and invited me in.

Five Reasons Why Teaching Is Like Parenting
I vividly remember as a graduate teacher the first time a student, instead of addressing me by my usual title, accidentally called out to me with an elongated, “Mu-um!”. This was met with an eruption of laughter from his classmates and I remember being absolutely mortified that a 13 year old saw me, a 24ContinueContinue reading “Five Reasons Why Teaching Is Like Parenting”
Loving Life
I am always amazed by those people who are constantly upbeat. You know the ones. They’re energetic, constantly smiling, looking for the good in everything and they seem to cope better with difficulties than the rest of us. I know we can train ourselves to think positively but in general I believe those typically smileyContinueContinue reading “Loving Life”
