SO I HAVE THIS THING FOR PATTERNS!

If you follow me on Insta you’ll know I have a thing for patterns, like a BIG thing! Stripes, spots, zig-zag, paisley, abstract, geometric – you get my drift. And I’m absolutely crazy for colour. And walls. And tiles. And prints. And textures. And Gorman! (don’t get me started on the love for Gorman, it’s…

I FELL ON BLACK DAYS: DEPRESSION IS REAL

The passing of Chris Cornell (lead singer of Soundgarden & Audioslave) has been on my mind a lot. It was a real shock when I heard the news, I literally couldn’t believe it. From what I knew, he’d been through hell and come out the other side… But obviously he hadn’t. I still remember the…

THE GOOD, ACE, SAD & HARD STUFF!

So, it’s been a little bit quiet on here lately. Well truth is there’s been a LOT of quiet. Why? Because life is busy. It can challenge the crap out of you, and sometimes the last thing you wanna do is write a blog post. Don’t worry I’m OK, and I haven’t lost my love…

A WHOLE LOTTA LOVE

So it’s been a bit of a while between blog posts, which means I must have been busy! Well that’s always the case, but you know what, I’ve just been making more time for ME. Instead of being chained to my laptop every night writing, editing, scheduling, I’ve been smashing out shows on Netflix and…

THREE GOOD THINGS THAT HAPPENED TODAY

THREE GOOD THINGS THAT HAPPENED TODAY

One of my fave sites for interesting and inspiring life stuff is The Pool. It’s my weekly go-to and there’s no shortage of great (and very relatable) reads. I’m sure you’ll agree that it seems like the world is going to pot, (umm… Trump!), so when I read this article, ‘Write down three good things that…

MOTHERHOOD & CREATIVITY

September 1, 2016 By Lauren Peters 2 Comments

MOTHERHOOD & CREATIVITY

Before I had Ava, I used to read ALL the time. I’d devour crime fiction like cocktails on a hot summer’s day, and Mum and I would regularly swap our latest finds. Since having Ava, reading has not been on my radar like it used to be. I’ve read plenty of informative parenting books, but…

DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY

It’s always fab to see the Home-Work ladies, it’s makes me happy just being in their creative space. I met Gemma about three years ago at a screen printing workshop when the Home-Work crew were…

LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER

LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER

Leading up to Mother’s Day, I’ve been thinking a lot about the mother and daughter dynamic. Mostly because right now, every day life with Ava is very up and down. In the same week, we can go from having a really great day, to a hellish couple of days, with absolutely no warning signs. Starting…

HOW DID LIFE GET SO BUSY?

HOW DID LIFE GET SO BUSY?

So is it just me, or do you always feel like you’re rushing around? I’m constantly shuffling dates in my calendar, to fit in kids parties, family catch ups, play dates, drinks, dinners, workshops, medical appointments, and whatever else comes up. And believe it or not, I’m a bit old school and still use a…
