Southland Roadie pt2
While this was our first caravan trip away it definitely wont be our last. We learned a lot, tried some things that worked and others that didn’t. I think the biggest learning though was to move slower!
Southland Roadie pt 1
I love a good roadie! I little under a year ago we bought a caravan with the intention of seeing more of the country, and working out if it could eventually become a full time thing for us. Our first real trip away was down south. It was awesome!
Finding Hope in the Waiting: Navigating Infertility

2025, my goals for the year
A few years back, five to be exact, someone in a group I was in mentioned they had set 20 goals around the number 20, for the year 2020. I totally jumped on board with that and gave it a go.
