I have been sucked into the Bush vacuum for the last 3.5 weeks and it is so weird. I feel like I have been forced to take a vacation from my life but in my own house. There are strange things afoot, like the pile of paper recycling consisting of mainly Lion Red boxes that is residing in the dining …
When it’s time to party we will party hard….
Two weekends ago Dave, Bush and I set off for an adventure the likes of which we weren’t prepared for and did not expect. It was one of those parties we used to go to when we were at school, usually our parents didn’t know where we were, who we were with or how hammered we were going to get …
Tales from The Bush
From me: Where are you travelling wilbury? I am starting to worry. Please send an american spirit smoke signal this way so I know you are still with us. Miss you, it has been sunny and warm since you left but supposed to start raining again tonight. Let me know if you need some ideas about where to go next. …
Project 365 * Day 12: Make-up Application 101
It was very quiet in the house, never a good sign when both Bush and Ethan are home. They were busy, doing their make-up. Ethan declaring that he has NEVER done this before (well, actually son you did do it when you were 2. Don’t you remember? You carved deep cavernous hollows into my Chanel compact and made momma cry …
Hottest day ever, since I have been alive at least

Lucky for me (I guess) my exam room was air conditioned and I wrote up a storm. Four essays in three hours and I went in feeling underprepared but came out thinking I nailed it. …
90 Mile Beach
The one slightly dodgy day on our holiday was the perfect day to head west to The Big Beach. Ethan was all about the tua tua’s and was positive he would love them – he didn’t. Luckily we ‘tagged and released’ most of them and Dave ate the rest for tea. Tara really got amongst the shellfish gathering and perfected …
The New Locale
After Paihia we headed up north to the goodness. The big peninsula where the sun always shines (it seems) and the fish always bite (touch wood). Day 1: The south side of Matai Bay, yeah there were boats, but there were NO people, we were helped to this secluded location by the trusty boat of course! Follow
Summer Holiday!!!!!!
I had two BIG summer school assignments to complete and submit before we could leave on our trip and show Tara (our first visitor from the states) around the upper North Island. So in a mad flurry the night before we left, I got them done and Tara proofread for me. I thought they sucked, I was writing just to …
