Recently I was sent a gift box from Indie and Mae, a gorgeous New Zealand skincare brand made with 100% natural ingredients. I’ve used natural skincare for years and years now, and the older I get the more drawn towards natural ingredients I become. When Indie and Mae reached out to see if I was interested in…

After the last 5 years of needing to take very minimal things out with me, I’ve found myself needing to use a nappy bag again. And I’ll be honest, nappy bags have become SO much more stylish over the past seven years since I had Jack. Many of them now look just like normal bags, come in…
Okay I’m a bit late to the party with sharing this news on here, but we are expecting baby number 2 in Spring! If you are following me on Instagram, then you’ve likely already seen this news (and if you aren’t then click here to do so!) We are so incredibly excited to welcome the little one…
What is this? A new post?! 😮 I haven’t posted on here for over a year now. Last September I decided I had enough of the blogging world and I was finding it so hard to keep up with posting as well as work as well as family and my own self care. And until about…
As I type this we have battled yet another week of sickness. I think this is about the third sickness since the start of June, and it literally feels never ending! While both Jack and I eat very healthy and get plenty of fluids, I feel like both of our immune systems need some boosting. I did…
One of my absolute favourite places to visit in New Zealand is Queenstown, and I’m sure if you’ve been there before, then you know why! There is so much to do and explore and it’s an epic place for adults and kids alike. Jack and I headed up for a trip last year (click to read my…
If you follow me over on Instagram, then you’ll know that I am right into my podcasts, and I’m always sharing what I’m listening to. I’m a typical Type 3 on the enneagram test – I’m someone who loves to learn and further and improve myself as much as possible, so listening to podcasts has had a…
If you are visiting Dunedin, one beach you need to put on your to-do list is Sandfly Bay. Now I’ve lived in Dunedin most of my life and have only just visited this wee gem on the Otago Peninsula. I know, crazy right? This beach is located in the part of Dunedin known as Sandymount, on the…
Quite a few weeks back now, myself and a friend were invited by the Paintvine team to go and try one of their Dunedin Paintvine classes. If you’ve never heard of Paintvine, it’s a fun evening event where you go along a learn how to paint a picture while enjoying drinks and nibbles if you wish. All…
If there’s one thing I dread, it’s myself or Jack getting sick! And I’m pretty sure most parents (or anyone really!) would agree. Over the past six months, I’ve been working really hard to boost mine and Jack’s immunity through supplementing with natural immunity boosters, and I’ve found a combo that seems to be working really well…
Nestled in the Waitaki Valley, inland from Oamaru is one of the most unique places I’ve visited recently, Elephant Rocks. And while I can’t say any of them exactly resemble an elephant, it’s definitely a fun and interesting place to explore! It’s important to note this is Elephant Rocks in the South Island, not to be confused…
If you are on Instagram, then it’s likely you’ve seen Frank Green drink bottles and cups EVERYWHERE lately. This bottle has absolutely blown up on social media with people raving about how amazing they are. They are especially popular in New Zealand and Australia, and are sold online and in selected stores in these countries. A couple…
I have to start this post by saying that I’ve never owned an item of clothing that has gotten so many compliments as this raincoat. Perhaps it’s the fact that it’s totally different to any other raincoat I’ve seen. Maybe it’s because of the assumption that raincoats are either boring black or bold yellow or red. Either…
