About

Let me tell you a story.
My life is not boring.
It all started some 40 years ago, wait there, not far back. About 5 or 6 years ago. We were living in Mt Isa, western Queensland, Australia, when I started a blog on my website at the time. I was pretty crappy,and didn’t really accomplish much. I was not much into what happens on a blog or how to market it. I don’t think I was even on Facebook at that point.
Anyway, between my non stop cups of coffee, shopping and making beaded items I attempted to hold down a job (pretty easy considering), parent my three boys who were quite active in all sorts of ways (not so much now, XBox has eaten their brains) and be a wife of some kind to a shift working miner.
Life was far form boring. And nothing has changed.
Fast forward to two years past and in the space of 8 weeks we pack our entire house into a container and send it on a 2000km trip. What do we do.  Follow it, oh no, we can’t possible do that. Instead we travel 7000kms to get home again. Some detour that.
Yes, we moved back home, to Tasmania after a holiday that turned into residency.
I discover WordPress and the rest as they say is history. Well, in blogging terms anyway. The rest of my life hasn’t really changed that much.  I’m not working as such, the kids are still busy and driving me nuts, hubby has turned into a FIFO miner and my beading is still being complimented by shopping and IV coffee.
Life is far from boring and this is my story.
