I've Reached 500

I just realised that my Happy Australia Day post was my 500th blog post!

When I started my blog back in October 2008 I didn't really have any long term goals with it. To be honest, I wasn't even sure about starting a blog. But I thought I'd give it a shot and over 7 years later I'm still posting.

You can tell by looking at the history of my posts I've had good and bad years for blogging - usually a reflection of my life and how much time I have. In that time the Barbarians have grown from toddlers to nearly teens, the Hub and I have renovated 2 houses, relocated 1600km and over two state lines (about 1000 miles), and I've just started my 5th paid job (joys of being a casual worker bee) and worked almost full time hours volunteering.

All going to plan life is going to be on a more even keel this year. I guess how often I post will let you know if I'm succeeding.

Back in Action

After a long hiatus I'm back to blogging :)

Our move from Brisbane to Canberra is nearly done. We're in limbo at the moment until we can move into our house (mid-November), and during this time internet access is limited (so apologies if it takes a while to respond to comments), but I finally have some time to start focussing on my writing.

It is such a relief! My stories have been churning in my head and I haven't had a second to even think about writing a word. Hopefully now they will pour out.

Once we're settled into the house (photo below) hopefully I'll be able to find some regular writing time again, and be able catch up on all the emails and blog posts I'm behind in.

Our new house in Canberra come mid-November
