HILARIOUS. After Finn got into trouble for something he said ‘mummy you’re bad😤’. Being fairly fed up at that stage😠, I said ‘don’t call me bad - who clothes you? Who feeds you? Who created you? Who gives you a warm bed to sleep in a puppies and adventures to enjoy?!’ He mischievously squinted his eyes in a cowboy stare-down manner and said ‘God.’ Touché son, touché. #threeanger #smartalec

Meet Alfred 🐑. 4 weeks old and cute as a button. If he isn’t there in the morning @towri_sheep_cheeses that’s because Aria and I have kidnapped him over night 🤷🏼‍♀️ Great day out with my girlfriend @jennifermaskiell and our kiddos! #scenicrim

All dogs are therapy dogs. The majority of them are just freelancing 🤎 Go cuddle and walk a dog, it’s good for the soul and cheaper than therapy 😉

🍃my local forage 🍃Yesterday the kids fell asleep in the car so I went for a drive around our local area (Canungra/Mount Tamborine) and found a heap of locals selling flowers, fruit and veg out the front of their homes with an honesty box payment system so I stocked up! Spray free organics, fresh as can be! I also found a local coffee plantation so picked up some freshly roasted beans! Honestly, we live somewhere pretty special & I think one day we will buy around here 💕
I’ve been quiet here lately as I’m getting used to Reis being back at work again and taking some time to explore our local area with the kids which so far has been lots of fun! More pics in my stories.

“I love a Sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains. But I’ve gotta tell ya mate, I like it better when it rains.
The countryside is dying and there’s just no end in sight, and just to rub salt in the wounds, the bush has caught alight. The landscape is on fire from Brisbane to the Gong and everybody’s asking “where the hell did we go wrong? But we can get through this one if we help each other out, take care of your neighbour , that’s what Aussies are about. The rain is going to fall again , the good times will return. But living in Australia means at times it’s going to burn. So if you need a helping hand, just give a mate a call. We’re all hear to help you out and catch you when you fall.
The RFS, the SES, the firey’s, and police, all put their lives upon the line to help to keep the peace. So hats off to these hero’s and thanks for all you do and I hope when this is over we can make it up to you!” - Troy Gerdes 2019. #prayforrain #praylongandhard 📷 Burnt leaves collected in Wentworth Falls on our holiday last week.

This cutie - the highlight of my 2019 achievements ✨ love her (& her big bro) so much! Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and Happy New Year! 🥳 Reflect, enjoy and look forward with hope. ✨Keep your resolutions realistic and measurable to help you achieve them, but why not believe that this is your year!? Go get it kiddo 💪🏻 what are your goal/s for the year? Let me know in the comments!

While some share their healthy treats allowed because they worked out twice today, I’ve been shoving chocolate in my pockets (and then mouth) while the kids aren’t looking, with a wine in the other hand & haven’t exercised for a week! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Meh - I’ve enjoyed it 😆 Enjoy your treats mindfully and remember you’re no less of a person for indulging a little and resting over Christmas. Normal routine will come back soon - hasn’t it every other year?! If not - you have the power to change it anytime you like.
Listen to your body and stop when you’re no longer enjoying it, but just don’t beat yourself up because your not hitting the gym more to make up for any extra calories like that health blogger you saw on Instagram. I know from experience that there are far better things to put your energy into ☺️ Have a happy, treat filled, guilt free Christmas! Christ was not born to condemn you, rather to give you freedom and life to the full. Looking after your health is important but don’t fall into ‘healthy’ bondage - that’s not His way 😘

On the move again!!✈️ We are off to Sydney for CHRISTMAS 🥳 & it’s Aria’s first flight (swipe right) 🤩 A huge thanks to everyone who has supported us with love and kindness in word or deed while Rees has been back and forth overseas the last two years.

We’re settling into Canungra and I’m so over the moon that out of the three restaurants here one is focused on real food, with a Japanese chef and a bar 😍🍱🍣🍤🥟🍺🍸it’s actually the best Japanese I’ve ever had - what a win! The never ending boxes are slowly being emptied and sorted - just the kids rooms and some of the garage to go! 100% convinced next year will be a good year for our family. Not sure what that will entail for me, or how much I’ll be blogging or working; but I’m enjoying practicing keeping my mind in the present and have committed to leave the rest to God to deal with - I’m on holidays 😉😆 #armywifelife

Kitchen in the new house is unpacked! 📦 I went to the local bakery this morning and bought some fresh sourdough for a simple lunch (it was still hot from the oven👏🏻) which paired perfectly with my fav @lewisroadcreamery butter. Then my hot, hardworking hubby put the two together for me 😍 The basics done right! #lewisroadcreamerypartner #lewisroadcreamery #butterchurn #nongmo #freerange #grassfed #butter #cream #sourdough #nzbutter #aubutter

Body confidence doesn’t come from trying to achieve the perfect body, it comes from loving and appreciating the one you already have. Workout because you love your body not because you dislike it! 💙
This is a little taster of a session I did last week. Final round... as you can see I was well and truely cooked! After a week off (missing it so much!) I am excited to get back into it again after our unpack tomorrow! Will probably be in the hurt locker but then again, that’s my favourite place to be. 🤪

Today I threw out a two page to do list. Man it was freeing! Some tasks on there had been on there for over 6 months and realistically were not going to be done any time soon. They were just sitting there, staring at me, reinforcing the false thoughts that I’m ineffective, unproductive and undisciplined. And I’ve had enough of it. Catch ya later alligator👋🏻 Are you a list maker? Do yours hang over your head sometimes too? 🤷🏼‍♀️👋🏻😄
