This weekend I have something in common with those of you in the USA. It’s a holiday long weekend where I live in Australia, and the exodus from the city commenced on Friday. The ski season has started, and it’s only a two hour drive from where I live in Canberra to the ski resorts […]

Last week I counted how many fiction books I’ve read this year. I usually don’t set a reading target or participate in reading challenges. In January I decided on 50 books as my number for my 2021 reading goal, the majority being CCR. We won’t discuss how many books I’ve purchased this year. I’m running […]

Can you believe we’re already half way through the month of May? They say time disappears faster as we get older, and 2021 is certainly powering along! In Australia, the end of autumn is near and the pretty leaves are falling and falling and falling. Our yard is collecting maple leaves, and we now have […]

Happy Mother’s Day. It’s Mother’s Day today in USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. In the UK, Mother’s Day was celebrated on March 27. I welcome our international readers to let us know if they celebrate Mother’s Day today or on a different date. I’ll be spending time with my young adult children […]

Welcome to May! I’ll be your host for the Sunday Editions in May. When this post goes live, I’ll be home from Sydney after attending a family wedding.

I’m writing this post with watery eyes from early autumn hay fever that’s thankfully much milder than spring hay fever. I’m also thankful […]

Happy Sunday! Last week I spent a few days at the coast. I appreciated the summer sunshine and sea breeze. I love seafood, especially when it’s caught fresh. When I was growing up, my parents would line up on a Friday night at our local fish and chips takeaway shop to buy dinner. On Friday […]

Happy Sunday and Happy Valentine’s Day! We often launch our Inspy Romance Birthday Bash on Valentine’s Day, but this year we launched our giveaway month a couple of days early. It’s Valentine’s morning in Australia and my husband is cooking bacon and eggs for breakfast. A lovely way to start the day before we head out […]

Happy Sunday! It’s summer in Australia, which means beach weather for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere who can visit the coast. The photos I’m sharing today are from my vacations a few years ago at the beautiful Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. After a twelve month break from hosting Sunday Editions, I’m back […]
