Six Things I’m Loving Today

I love this photo. It’s of my nephew Justus with my Nana/his Great-Grandma. She’s been in hospital recently, my brother snapped this shot of them on one of their visits with her. Oh my gosh, it makes my heart melt. It reminds me of a shot I have of my daughter and her, taken on [...]

Six Things I’m Loving Today

My Sussie Skin Care Package: This arrived for me on the weekend and I am in love. My favourite product is the eye cream Toucha’ Love. I started using it on Monday because I am having a fierce reaction to something in Invercargill. It’s like hay fever symptoms quadrupled. I found myself on Sunday having to [...]

Thanks For Making Me Feel Bad, David Dallas

I’m going to let you in on one of my bad habits. Each day when I sit to write a new post on my blog, I go to my ‘draft posts’ page and look through the list then close it. I have plenty of inspirational posts just sitting there…waiting for the right time for me [...]

Come Go With Me

We carried on exploring our local surroundings on Saturday. It was amazing. Do you often explore the area where you live? After a week of horrendous weather, we woke up and saw the sun shining down on us and knew we weren’t staying in. No point in wasting a beautiful day! This time we headed [...]

Family Fun at Curio Bay

It was a little quiet around here on the weekend wasn’t it? That’s because we were back out and about enjoying some family time. This time we headed to one of our absolute favourite spots in Southland. Curio Bay. We only found out about this place last summer, I can’t believe we spent 4 years [...]

Exploring Southland

This is the little lamb I rescued yesterday. We almost ran him over! He had somehow managed to find himself on the other side of the farm’s fence and was running around lost on the road. He was so scared, you could hear him crying for his Mummy. I put him back on the other [...]

21 Days of Accountability – Day 10

Helloooooo! I know, I’m SUPER late in posting today but I’m sure you’ll forgive me. It’s Saturday in NZ and I’ve been out doing what I should be doing, spending time with my family. That’s today’s topic. Involve family and friends. The easiest way to fail in this weight loss journey is to stop doing [...]

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself...

My name is Chavah. They say for a relationship to work you need a dreamer and a realist. I am the dreamer. My dreams are what I MAKE my reality. I am passionately curious, sometimes awkward and I have a somewhat ridiculous but infectious laugh. I live in the deep south of New Zealand, married to my realist husband. I need him, he keeps it real... like realists do. I spend my days raising four out-going children, it's as exhausting as one would imagine. Currently I live and breathe transforming my body into a powerful weapon. It's my new found love, so if you need me - find me at the gym. Actually don't, I dislike talking while I'm training. I've been described as eccentric, I quite like that. The definition of eccentric is 'deviating from the recognized or customary character, practice'; that sounds about right. I'm the crazy creative type, well actually I'm not that crazy. I know exactly what's up but I am creative. I'm an Artist that's exhibited extensively throughout NZ and sold pieces internationally but right now I'm busy raising children so instead my creative tendencies have been refocused on up-cycling furniture, redecorating my home, event planning and writing.

Stick around to read all about it.
