So, Christmas is behind us now and it’s hard to believe that it’s already almost the middle of February! Time is passing so quickly and before we know it we will be heading into spring! We are so looking forward to seeing spring in this area, as I’m sure it must be beautiful. I imagine fields of wild flowers and the …

When we realized that we weren’t going to the states and that my husband would be free to work from home wherever he wanted, there was only one place on our minds – FRANCE!  After spending so many holidays there over the past number of years, we had both totally fallen in love with the countryside, culture, lifestyle and weather. Living …

Settle in, this is going to be a long one… About two months ago my friend Penny told me her husband was going away for a weekend in May, she was unloading her son with her sister-in-law and asked if I wanted to have a girl’s day.  I’m always up for a girl’s day so I promptly marked it on …

In an effort to gain self confidence and deal with body image issues still remaining after my weight loss, I decided to take part in a 365 project focusing on self portraits.  My hopes are that after a year of taking a photo of myself ever day, that I will stop hating photos of myself, stop picking apart the things …

Something I really wanted to include in my 1 year post-op update was a video slideshow of everything that has taken place over the past year.  It turned out to be way more work than I was expecting (self imposed, of course!) so I did my update and saved it for later.  I would have loved to include lots of …

Well, can you believe it? It’s been one year already!  One year ago at the very time that I am typing this I was just out of surgery and my exciting post-op experience was about to begin!  Seriously, I have been living in a time warp because it feels like it was just a few months ago.  I cannot believe …

Don’t worry, I’m still talking about me!  He hasn’t gone out and found another wife or anything, even tough I’ve been urging him to find one that likes doing housework.  I could get into a little Sister Wives action if the other wife would do all the stuff I hate. No, what I’m talking about is my husband’s recent exclamations …

Wahoo!  I’m so happy!  Today is a great weight loss day for me!  Getting below 100 kilos was one of my first goals after my surgery, and I’m finally there.  As usual when you have a specific goal in mind, that last kilo hung on for dear life. I felt like I spent a week hovering at 100.1 – 100.3 …

Yesterday was a very exciting day for us!  It was the day that we finally picked up our new car!   It will be the third car we’ve ever had. The first one we had was a 2006 Renault Clio, it was the company car given to us by Xander’s former employer.  I was so excited to finally have a car …
