Take heart, QLD. Adelaide’s got your back.

Posted on February 20, 2013 in Community

Amidst the fun and frivolity of Adelaide’s festival season, tonight we remembered those who are struggling in Queensland because of the widespread flooding. Although Adelaide’s small, we have a lot to give.

(Surprise) post: The time I almost married Marky Mark

Posted on January 28, 2013 in #janblogaday 2012, Mixed Bag

Something I’d been wanting for a long time. A waffle maker. And with that, my collection of kitchenware was complete. For [...]

Posted on January 21, 2013 in #janblogaday 2012, Mixed Bag

Today, I learned what a ‘mood board’ is. Turns out it’s just an inspiration board with a new name… I also discovered I have a bunch of stock photo credits that expire in two days. Today’s January Blog a Day theme is “create a mood board.” To be honest, I was thinking of one of [...]
