Krispy Kreme Donuts.

I can't explain this. I work out every day running, yoga, gym training, and I drink loads of water, eat really well and limit my alcohol intake (really could do without it). I've also broken my chocolate habit over the past few years.  But I just can't go past a Krispy Kreme glazed donut.  All the others I can give or take, but for some reason these just make me happy. Quite literally. It would be sad if it wasn't just so damn delicious.

I won't apologize.

I'm a huge Bachelor Australia fan!! Love it.  As I write this it is the day before the finale but I am a couple of episodes behind so am going to have to play catch up this afternoon for tonights episode and then stay off social media until I watch the finale myself.

I love the dresses, the romance, the drama and the bitchiness.  I can't get enough and what's best is that as soon as The Bachlor finishes, the Bachelorette is on and I love who they've chosen as the Bachelorette this year.  #cantwait

Pinterest writing prompts. So good. So handy.  So inspiring.  

I have bought and read countless books over the years of writing craft and industry tips but by far the best resource has been Pinterest. Whenever I'm stuck I turn to Pinterest and I've actually adapted one of their ideas into a character spreadsheet that I will share a little later on.  

If you're a writer looking for inspiration try Pinterest. It's no secret that I love it. You can follow me here.

This book was wonderufl.  I devoured it and I felt it.  The character was a little hard to like in the beginning, but Megan Jacobson did a wonderful job of making me empathise with her none the less.  And she's also done a wonderful job of capturing Darwin, at the north of Australia. I felt the heat and the humidity, I heard the Aussie drawl and the mosquitos buzzing and I saw the colours of Australia.  This book was layered, and real and I loved it.  Definitely check it out!

I have three teenage sons and I love it!  Never thought I'd say that as I am such a girlie girl but I love having teenage boys. Yes they're smelly, they shower for too long, sleep too long and eat too much. But they are highly entertaining and between the three of them, oh so very different.

Right now, my middle son who turned 15 in August is into rock music. He can't stand any music that is overly produced and has no time for the rap or rnb that my oldest son listens to. Riley is right into Metallica, Wolfmother, Green Day, ACDC, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Guns n Roses and ... Foo Fighters.  For his birthday he got an old school record player and loves it.  One of the main ones on repeat are Foo Fighters who just announced their Aussie tour early 2018 that *fingers crossed* we are definitely getting tickets to see.  I am loving them right now!!
