Is everyone always busy and rushing around, or is it just me?

3rd March 2017 by Lauren Leave a Comment

I've been struggling. I feel like I am ALWAYS rushing somewhere or having to do something. I'm a very firm believer in punctuality. Being late is disrespectful to whomever you're meeting, and in fact I think it's just. plain. rude! So it's not that I'm late for meetings, or school pickups or the like, it's just that I am SO. FREAKING. BUSY. I'm rushing all the time and I cannot ... Read More

Another birthday has come and gone (and a bit about what we learn in our 30’s)

17th February 2017 by Lauren Leave a Comment

There is something to be said for growing older and wiser. Yesterday was my birthday; yet another has come and gone. I suppose the adage is true, that getting older is a privilege denied to many and one to be embraced. I remember my mom and older cousins or relatives always saying life began at 40.

We've noticed it in her, and  I'm my mother's child ... Read More

There's someone I know, with a long track record of questionable behaviour, who behaved in a way I didn't think possible. It is quite rare for me to be shocked by someone's behaviour. But shocked I was, flabbergasted even. If you know me you'll know I'm rarely speechless. But then I felt sad. So horribly sad for someone who will always feel the world has wronged them. I've ...

This isn’t a beautiful space yet, and why I had to go live anyway.

19th January 2017 by Lauren 1 Comment

I'm a terrible procrastinator. I mean terrible. That's not really why I hadn't posted until now, but it's right up there. I wanted this space - my space - to be perfect. Gorgeous images, widget heaven, breathtaking design and perfect posts. Hells bells woman. You would think I'd have realised now (being worldly wise and all that) that NOTHING is ever perfect. Not in the way ... Read More
