Gremlins

by Bette_H, in category Musings

Remember the movie?  Those cute little critters that turned into nasty creatures?  Well, maybe nasty is not the word for it, but Gremlins really hit this blog big time in the first couple of weeks of the year! Late in December I decided to do my 31 Days of WIPs and UFOs again in January… Read More

Making Me Happy

by Bette_H, in category Musings

It has been some time since I have written a Making Me Happy post.  Not because I have had nothing to write, but because I keep forgetting to write on a Sunday, or have so much going on, I run out of time to write. Over the last few months I have had lots of… Read More

The Life of a School Teacher.

by Bette_H, in category Musings

Going to work this morning was relatively easy.  The roads were quieter than usual.  This weekend is a long weekend, and many are going away.  There is the annual Winery Walkabout in North East Victoria, the snow season starts, and many just take off for the weekend. For me, this weekend signals the end of… Read More

ANZAC DAY 2015

by Bette_H, in category Musings, Uncategorized

Today we remember.  For it is 100 years ago today that ANZACs invaded the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey.  Today we honour all Australians and New Zealanders who have followed in the footsteps of these brave men and boys (the youngest to die in Gallipoli was only 14!). They shall not grow old as we who… Read More

I Am Enough

by Bette_H, in category Musings

Today I finished reading Brene Brown’s “The Gifts of Imperfection.”, a book recommended to me. You see, I am an introvert (if any of my colleagues are reading this – yes, I am an introvert! ). With all that has gone on over the past few years, I was really struggling. Who am I? Why… Read More

A Beautiful Life

by Bette_H, in category Musings

Have you ever felt overwhelmed?  Busy all the time just ‘living’?  Never having time for anything but work and commitments?  I have.  I do. It is really weird, but just when I started to find myself in that debilitating position of having so much to do and so little time to do it, I picked… Read More

The Study

by Bette_H, in category Musings

Over the past month, I have been trying to get things organised in the study. I think I have finally worked out the layout of the room, but I still need to get the furniture.  I am planning to have a built in desk the entire length of one wall, with overhead shelves.  The desk… Read More

Yesterday I left off at June. Today we start with July. Arriving back from camp on the 1st of July, we entered the school holidays. One night the children and I had a wonderful movie night… Then in August we celebrated my little girl’s birthday. September saw my son participate in our school’s Presentation Balls.… Read More

2014 in review…

by Bette_H, in category Musings

2014 was a year of ups and downs.  Regardless, it was an amazing year.  One that I am pleased that I lived through, but would not want to repeat. In October 2013 my home of 8 years was put on the market.  At the time, houses in our area were selling within 2 or 3… Read More

On the second day of Christmas…

by Bette_H, in category Musings, Uncategorized

My poor pooches.  It had been so long since they had a groom, that my Maltese/Shitzu cross could have passed as an extra in Return of the Jedi as an Ewok!  Amazing what several hours at Berwick Paws has achieved! And they were both dressed ready to party! (PS.  I had this post all but… Read More
