The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee
I've just finished reading The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee, and it was one of those books that made me feel really upset when I finished it. I honestly didn't want it to end. The good news? The sequel comes out September 7th and it can't come soon enough! The novel is set in Manhattan … Continue reading The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee
Save me San Francisco
As you may have read on my previous post, Lex and I have recently returned from a two week trip to New York. We were there for a friends wedding and because we had only visited NY recently, we decided to stop over in San Francisco on our way there to break up the trip … Continue reading Save me San Francisco
Embracing the small things
Lex and I have just arrived home after a two week trip to New York. We've only just visited the Big Apple a little over a year ago, so this trip we got the chance to step away from the touristy things that the city has to offer and instead focus on the small things. … Continue reading Embracing the small things
Nantucket Sisters by Nancy Thayer
I'm the first to admit I'm a lady of phases - I became intensely obsessed with something for a while and then I switch to the next thing. At the moment my phase is reading. I've always enjoyed reading but sometimes I enjoy it more than other times. With life so busy at the moment … Continue reading Nantucket Sisters by Nancy Thayer
I’m on the top of the world and looking down on creation

Today was the day that I walked up to the crater of Mount Vesuvius. This volcano … Continue reading I’m on the top of the world and looking down on creation
Greenwich Lane finds a home!
Newflash! Greenwich Lane has purchased an apartment! After countless weeks of open homes to inspect and dealing with pesky real estate agents, we finally found 'the one'. A beautiful one bedroom apartment in the heart of our favourite city, Sydney. We get the keys in a month so lots of packing and organising before that … Continue reading Greenwich Lane finds a home!
Pomegranate and Lemon Couscous
It’s difficult to know for sure, but the warmth of summer must surely be just around the corner. And, well, even if it isn’t, there’s a certain purity to be enjoyed when tucking into a light, yet surprisingly hearty, couscous dish such as this. Pomegranate, perhaps to my detriment, isn’t an ingredient I’ve experimented with… via … Continue reading Pomegranate and Lemon Couscous
Everything is a miracle
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. source: Albert Einstein image: Eddie’s Garden, Eddie’s Photos, Gardenia Flowers May 2015 via Everything is a Miracle — Eddie Two Hawks
A wonderful way to end your day….
“An evening meditation could be as simple as
quietly remembering something good from your day or your life –
even something as basic as a smile from a stranger,
a piece of fresh fruit or a soft pillow.
Remembering and feeling grateful is a wonderful way to end your day….”
