Budgeting – Organisation Hacks – Sustainability – Meal Planning – Travel
I am a huge fan of meal planning! It saves you money, time and most importantly it greatly reduces food waste. In our home we have been meal planning on a weekly basis for the past year and a bit and it has made a huge difference in making our week simple and stress free….
As we kick off a new year, many of us set goals and intentions for the year to come. I’ve talked about how I start my year in this video, and how I choose a top line theme to guide my focus every year. For a few years my theme was actually personal finance, because…
After the big, crazy year that 2020 was, I know I’m not the only one who wants 2021 to be a bit different. The first few weeks of a new year is when many of us set personal and professional goals, and sadly it’s also the time we tend to forget that willpower can only…
In many ways 2020 has been one of the most difficult and unusual years many of us have ever experienced. The thing to remember is that just like good times, the challenging times never last forever. I personally love to travel, and being an expat with most of my family on the other side of…

I’ve moved house well over 20 times in my life and a handful of those moves were international ones. Most of us don’t love moving house, because even if it can be exciting to get ready to start your life in a new place, it can certainly be a lot of work. As I’m about…
Ok, so it’s been a while since I last checked in. If you happened to have missed it, there is a bit of a global pandemic going on and sadly it caused most of Melbourne, Australia (where we live) to shut down into hard lockdown and even evening curfews and restrictions. Good or bad (I’d…
I often hear people talk about a zero waste kitchen. For most of us (unless we grow a majority of the food we eat in our own backyard) this is something that’s quite difficult to achieve. For quite a few years, I have actively looked at where I can waste less and be smarter with…
I hope you’re doing as well as you can during this challenging time. I have definitely struggled with motivation when it feels like the days just blend into each other. As we’re forced to stay home a lot more that we are used to, I know quite a few of you are using this time…
