Walking in her shoes 2016 – 1 week to go

I’ve lost my way a bit with my training for the Walk In Her Shoes challenge this year. In previous years I’d set myself a gradually increasing step target in the weeks leading up to the challenge and do everything I could to make sure I met those goals,...

Walking (imperfectly) in her shoes – 2016

It’s almost March, and that means it’s time to dust off the walking shoes and start training for the Care Australia Walk In Her Shoes Challenge. This will be the third year I’ve participated in the challenge,  which will take place between 8-14 March. In 2014, my first year,...

It’s just, well . . .

I wrote this post about four weeks ago and I didn’t publish it because I couldn’t find the perfect photo to go with it. Ahh perfectionism. It never really goes away does it? For context, I’ve been writing down one thing I’ve learned each day. Some days it’s something...

Journalling challenge 

This week I’m participating in a journaling challenge set by the people at Asian Efficiency. There’s a journal prompt, which is “what did I learn today?” and each day there is a challenge to help you to incorporate journaling into your daily routine.   (oh hi bad grammar) Day 3’s challenge...

Tassievore Eat Local Challenge Week 2: Grow something

I used to live in my vegetable garden. I’d quite happily spend all weekend in there, get totally engrossed, completely lose track of time, and occasionally even get something to eat from it. Then we moved back to Tasmania, had a child and my passion for gardening disappeared into...

sunday selections – tasmanian museum & art gallery

Here are some photos for Sunday Selections (if you can get past my ramblings on why I have these photos). Sunday Selections is hosted by River at her blog Drifting Through Life, and I have been an occasional participant over the past few years. It’s all about posting photos...

30 days of lists – day 29

I finished List 29 a few days ago, but am still thinking about List 30 – the final list for the 30 days of lists challenge. Day 29: Next month’s plans. Next month (is now actually this month) is going to be fantastic. I’m taking some leave to hang...

30 days of lists – days 25-28

Almost there! Just two more lists to complete for my first ever 30 days of lists challenge. It’s been fun and made me think a bit, but I haven’t really been interacting much with the other people who have been doing the challenge. Day 25: My family’s quirks This...

30 days of lists – days 21-24

So much for a list a day! Day 21: My food pyramid I interpreted this one slightly differently, to make a list of the things I’m trying to do to improve my diet and health. Some of this is based on work by Michael Pollan, who writes some very...

30 days of lists – days 17-20

Moving on and trying not to get any further behind, I have temporarily abandoned List #16 of my 30 Days of Lists project. Here are the next four lists. Day 17: Favourite things about my home Day 18: I ask for help when . . . I think it’s...
