Hello, I am an Aussie mother, wife, sister and friend. I started 2012 losing weight with WeightWatchers. I reached my goal, however, I decided to be healthier. I was blown away by the inspirational Fat Sick and Nearly Dead and the Reboot your life fasts. So I have decided to join them and completed a 3 day fast. This blog recorded my 3 days and has evolved into other musings about the things that are important to me, cooking, reading, travelling, family, participating in Daily Prompts, photo challenges … random thoughts. Please feel to read,like, participate and comment. Ciao read and enjoy!

Welcome! Thank you for subscribing to follow my blog. I hope you are encouraged, inspired and enjoy the photos I take of life’s events as seen through the lens of my camera. Thank you also for the well wishes on my trying to win a trip with the Ellen show to Australia.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
I will enjoy the posts. Ellen is seen in Australia a day later than in the US. My girls and I enjoy the show. 😉 D34
Love that movie! I immediately ordered the same juicer as the one in the movie and regularly juice as well. I call it ‘drinking God’. 🙂 Good luck! ❤
Thanks I was lucky enough to find one on ebay that had not been opened. 🙂
Congrats on the weight loss, my daughter and I used Weight Watchers and exercise to reach our health goals. I am excited to see more of your life and your country!
Thanks for dropping by 🙂 D 34
Thank you for the follow on my blog, Snide Reply. I love visiting blogs of people from the southern hemisphere. I live in Chicago and today it is 16 degrees F (I have no idea what that is in centigrade; I’m a typical American in that regard) and snowing. My daughter actually said, “Oh, hello sun!” when the sun came out for a brief visit this morning.
We were 45.6 C the other day, which is 113.9 F that is the only conversion I know! I followed your link to your newspaper column, as a mother in the similar position as you, I loved your post about adoption. D 34
Thanks! We adopted nine years ago and it is the best thing we’ve done, up there with having our son. I’ve actually written about adoption three times. I think all three are available on the blog. I’m going to nose around yours.
Thanks, we need all the positive writing about Adoption, could you post me your links to your articles and I will forward them on to the organisation I deal with here in Oz. They have a newsletter that includes articles 🙂 D 34
Here are some links from my blog: http://wp.me/p15l2g-53 (humorous and kind of ranty), http://wp.me/p15l2g-i8 (about how adoption has changed me), http://wp.me/p15l2g-fm (about tasteless adoption jokes). Thanks for the support! Janice
Thanks 🙂 D 34

Haven’t ‘seen’ you for a while, is everything OK? 🙂
Returned to work and …. study …. Writing kept me ‘sane’ during the long days out of work. I will attempt to blog a little more between work and assignments :0 D 34
Good to know that you are okay. Cheers! 🙂
