About Us

In an effort to ease back in to blogging, I have decided to have a go at a ‘Week in Review’ style post. I’ve had a crack at a few different styles of these over the year, Taking Stock, A Cup of Tea with Me, Weekly Wrap Up to name a few. They all have one thing in common, to get me back in the saddle writing and to be a bit of a brain dump for me.

So, without further ado, here is a wrap up of some of the interesting bits and pieces I have come across or thought about during the week. I’m not sure if anybody else will get anything from my musings, but it will be a nice record for my grandkids of the things I was reading, doing, thinking, discovering, wanting and wearing.

April Edition

Ooops – I missed a blog day yesterday so must get two done today!

Starting with an easy one first, my sister Beth had a special request when I said I was back blogging, she has asked  “I’d love a post about some of your favourite podcasts, good short courses etc, that would be great!” Yippeee – these are some of my favourite things so I’m excited to share and it being a long Easter weekend in Coronavirus times – I thought you all might be looking for some recommendations!

I’m feeling a little guilty today that I launched straight back into blogging with a bit of a soapbox post yesterday after an almost twelve month hiatus. So today, I thought it might be nice to sit down together with a cup of tea and have a bit of a catch up, ‘Taking Stock’ style. I’d love to hear what you have all been up to as well, so feel free to have a go yourself – a blank version of the questions can be found at the end of this post. I really hope everyone is staying well! Continue reading →

Seeing as I did such a terrible job of blogging in 2017, I thought the best way to bring everybody up to speed was to do a ‘Fealy Family 2017 Highlight’s reel’ post, so here goes …..

The major events of 2017 were Matt’s Nuffield Australia scholarship travels (Matt spent a total of twelve weeks last year overseas!), my QLD Rural Women’s finalist award, a trip to Bali for the kids and I, a visit from the Brissy cousins and Jack finishing primary school and graduating as the male school dux along with receiving the instrumental music award for the year.  Pretty awesome all in all.

However, if I had to describe 2017 in one word, I think I would have to choose ‘overdone’.  It was a fantastic year, so many amazing things, but looking back we definitely overstretched ourselves and pushed our little family to the limits of what we could cope with, and to be honest, without all the help we received from our extended family – I think the wheels would have fallen off.
