A few things happened to me the past week; one of my Seoul Sisters moved to Singapore, and a good friend from Singapore went on holiday to Seoul. It stirred up a few fond memories of my time in South Korea. So, where was that post I wrote all those years ago while living in …
Ahhh, how do I start today’s post without mentioning that I am one year closer to another new decade – eek! How did that happen? It is funny how each milestone brings new insecurities you didn’t even know you had. When I hit thirty, I was not ready for it; I hadn’t completed our little …

It is strange to think I will no longer have a child at school, considering my first child started school in 2004, that is eighteen years of school drop-offs, pick-ups, packed lunches, canteen duty, class mum duties, …

So here we are; the family’s youngest member is now classed as a young adult in the eyes of the law (well, in Australia anyway). So you can now legally vote, drink, move out of home and perhaps even pay the bills (I say this with tremendous respect). However, in all seriousness, the baton of …
