While I’m sure you’ve already heard the news on Facebook and Instagram, it’s time to make it ‘blog official’ and introduce the newest member of our little family – the delightful Thea. The past couple of months have been an absolute blur of all kinds of weird, wonderful and (above all) memorable moments for our...

Things you learn as a cat-mum

Kirsten — Sun, 27 Nov 2016 06:02:52 +0000

There’s no denying that I am a self-confessed, over-the-top, doting cat-mum. Heading to the SPCA and welcoming not one, but two, fur babies into our family was without a doubt one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. As soon as you welcome a cat into your family, your world begins to change. Yip, there...

Make your cat fall in love with the cattery

Kirsten — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 22:05:54 +0000

We’re heading off overseas for a month later this year which means one thing – our fur babies, Hunter and Sybil, will be enjoying a holiday of their own as they spend four weeks at a countryside retreat (aka. the cattery). Whether you’re heading away for a week or a month, it’s never easy leaving...

Three ways to make entertaining a cinch

Kirsten — Tue, 17 Feb 2015 00:50:54 +0000

This time of year is all about entertaining and barbeques are my absolute go-to. I love nothing more than throwing open the French doors on a warm summer evening, throwing some food on the BBQ and catching up with friends and family. It sounds pretty good right? The only trouble is the planning – before...

Falling in Love with Ginger

As you may have seen in Monday’s post, Kevin and I had a pretty exciting weekend – we adopted two gorgeous kittens from the SPCA! Both of us absolutely love animals and have been hanging out to welcome cats into our family for quite some time, but we never lived in a house where they...

Our Next Adventure

Kirsten — Sun, 18 May 2014 04:04:38 +0000

Right from the start Kevin and I knew 2014 was going to be a year to remember – how could it not be with our wedding kicking things off back in January? While on honeymoon we spent quite a bit of time lounging in the sun dreaming up where life would take us over the...

Must-visit: Hobsonville Point Farmers Market

Kirsten — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 20:50:47 +0000

One of my favourite things to do at the weekend is jump in the car and head to a local market – whether it’s packed with trinkets, crafts or food, I can spend hours pouring over the stalls and trying to differentiate ‘want’ and ‘need’ as I meander down the aisles. Much of next weekend...
