Hey followers!
I’ve started a new blog to record all my future musings and my Africa journey!

As this current blog has a mixture of different things, I thought or start a new one that is all about my heart for Africa and the adventures that I have in my life!
Head over and don’t forget to follow 🙂
Woohoo, I boosted my run to 12K today. Pretty happy with my progress so far!
Running is such a good outlet. It gives me peace of mind and clarity. It’s a time for me to spend one on one time with God, if I think of it as quality time then extending my runs isn’t so bad! I love being one with nature, getting out into the environment is refreshing. It’s a time to let your thoughts run wild as you bring clarity to whatever it is going on your life.
Of course, it is also a fantastic way to keep fit, lose weight and strive for a goal. Today was the furthest I have run so far on my journey, it’s such a great sense of achievement!
I came home and had a good soak in Epsom salts, to relieve my muscles. I’m still a little sore though haha. Don’t forget that stretching is your best friend when exercising! My trainer taught me that you should hold your stretch for the amount of seconds of your age, one of the best pieces of advice that I’ve held onto!
It was a perfect Saturday, complete with a sleep in, snuggles, a draw in netball, cups of tea and movies.
Yes, it’s another cat photo! He is such a poser. I finally got to have a sleep in today and oh my it was needed! Once I got up and opened my door, David raced in and joined me in my bed for snuggles!
Cuddles with my friends baby! He is such a scummy little guy, so full of character and so much eagerness to learn and move! He has just started attending the centre I work at so I’m blessed to see him most days!
YUMMA! This is another one of my sister friends, Poppy! We love SUSHI and tonight we made it for dinner! So easy, tasty and healthy!
I love that I’m living with a family with cats! Here’s me taking a selfie with Dave! Cats are so good at showing love and you can always count on them for companionship and snuggles! Love!
This is my sister friend Bam Bam. It’s been so much fun living with her, we get so cray cray together!
I’m still going strong with my half marathon training and today I ran 10k! I love the remnants of Autumn and these trees are so vibrant they gave me a boost of energy.
I love getting outside and being surrounded by nature makes you feel so fresh!
Wowza, life got on top of me and I’ve neglected my blog – sorry folks! I moved house last weekend and oh what a happy day it was. I thought I’d write about the first week in my new home and the things that have made me happy.
Day 64 – Moving day. I was so ready for a fresh start and moving in with this family was one of the best decisions I have made!
Day 65 – Unpacking my room and setting it up! It’s nice to have all my belongings in one room and not have so much stuff at I feel overcrowded. Yay for that pre-move clean out & garage sale.
Day 66 – Waking up to porridge on the stove and tea ready to be poured! So blessed. Usually I eat breakfast later in the day or when I get to work but I’ve really enjoyed sitting down and eating with the family. Such a great start to the day!
Day 67 – The cats! Dave and Morris. I love having little furry pets to snuggle and they’ve taken ownership over my bedroom too!
Day 68 – Fresh starts can be a good time to keep motivated and up with your goals. I’ve been enjoying morning runs and eating healthy.
Day 69 – Hanging out with my new ‘siblings’ – all five of them! They’re so fun and such great kids!
Day 70 – Cuddles with little Neva and remembering to have faith like a child. Keeping the simple things important.
Day 71 – People who understand. I feel nurtured and well taken care of.
Holistic well-being is super important to me and I feel like I am where I am supposed to be, my heart is happy and my soul is free.
It is well with my soul.
Being an Early Childhood Teacher is such fun! We got some new resources today… But guess what was more fun?!
I chased the kids around as the ‘Box Monster’ and they loved it! Here’s another example to living simple haha, but honestly kids don’t need much. Playing with boxes brings about creativity and imagination!
Sometimes you’ve just gotta create the fun and have a laugh with the children. Going a little crazy is all part of the job and you lose a little dignity in the mean time; but hey, YOLO.
