About me

Wife, mother, blogger, arty farty type, Aquarian...

A little bit about me...

Born in Brisbane Australia, I have grown up moving from place to place, state to state, and school to school.  My father was a real Jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none, and it was his restlessness that took us around the country.

Then when I was around 11 years old, my father joined the Royal Australian Air Force, when my brother was old enough, he joined the Royal Australian Navy, and I grew up to marry (and later divorce) a soldier.

I have two beautiful children, 24 & 22 years old, and a wonderful husband who is a coal miner and a farmer.  We are very different from each other, which can make life interesting, and makes for a great deal of laughter, with lots of lessons in compromise and letting go.

I am a creative person, and love to lose myself in painting, drawing, creating, reading, writing... when I'm in that place, the rest of the world just sort of fades away...

One of my favourite things to do is to decorate my home, I am obsessed with creating a living space that is not only functional, but comfortable and beautiful to look at.

I'm also quite proud of my blog!

'Finding The Thin Me Within Me'  otherwise entitled 'Stories of a former serial couch potato on her way to being Fab & 50! Living life & losing weight with 12WBT, a PT called Madam Lash, and an inner critic who is a right bitch.'  is a personal account of my weight battle and the journey to get rid of it with the help of Michelle Bridges 12WBT program.

There's lots of random stories, and laughs - mostly at myself and the amount of times I tend to fall over, or accidentally enter half marathons instead of 5km fun runs!

I'd love to have you along for the ride!
