Last year, Harris Coffee contacted me and organised a giveaway on this blog, along with sending us some coffee to sample for ourselves. I’ve not stopped drinking it since. Hand on heart, that’s the brand I buy when we shop for coffee now. Harris are very proud of the way they roast their beans in…
I’ve gotten everything backwards and seem to have talked about the blog’s new look everywhere except on the blog itself. So, for those of you who haven’t seen it (*cough* feed readers? *cough*) I gave the blog a new look last week. What do you think? I wanted something white and fresh, more colour (but…

I’d just bought and read Sarah Wilson’s I Quit Sugar and, spurred on by the listlessness I was experiencing (as well as a dose of curiosity), I decided to take the challenge.

As I alluded to yesterday, we now have new floorboards, thus finishing off the second half of the house. Goodbye carpet! Just like we did in 2011, we went away on a road trip holiday to visit family in NSW, leaving the builders and sanders alone to do their thing. It was very exciting to…
