Blogging Renaissance
After reading this post on Facebook by Very Excellent Habits about how she and Christina of Hair Romance missed blogging, I was inspired. Seriously, go read the post! I’ll wait. It got me thinking, and reminiscing. I’ve been around this here internet for a long time now. I’ve seen blogging rise and fall in popularity, watched micro-blogging become a thing, and videos become the next big craze. Gosh, it does kinda make me feel old. I started sharing my life on the internet on Livejournal in 2001. I moved over to WordPress and opened Extra Large as Life in 2009 and rebranded to Natatree in 2017. That means, wow, 22…

Two Years of Toby!
Two years! Can you believe it?! Around this day 2 years ago, Craig and I went for a drive to a park in the Glass House Mountains, to meet a lady about a dog. We stood in the parking lot marveling at this teeny tiny puppy and decided yep, he’s my boy. If you’ve been following me for A LONG time, you’d know all about Mr Frodo and how much he meant to me. How heartbroken I was when he passed. Then after some time, how much I wanted a dog. I even wrote a post “When all you want in life is a dog“. I’d been waiting a while,…

Christmas Lustlist (Shop Local Australia)
It’s heading towards Christmas time, so I thought I should do a round-up of some things I’d love for Santa to drop off. This year, I’m focusing on shopping for local Australian brands and small businesses. Billsons – 2023 Advent Calender – $160 || This one is a bit different for me as I don’t drink very often. I have some of Billsons cordials and I’ve tried a few of their vodka mixes and well, I kind of want to try them all! What better way to try some, than the advent calendar? I may just end up getting a mixed box one day. Mermaid Salon – Mother of Hades…

Outfit – Barbie time!
Always late lately. But better late than never, hey? This is what I wore to go and see Barbie at the cinema. I wanted to dress up, but was also not feeling 100% so made an effort on my clothes, but no makeup. That may have been a good idea because, like many others, I did get a bit teary watching the movie. This dress from Little Party Dress has always given me Barbie vibes. I love the print of it so much I have it in two different styles of dresses. I originally styled it differently (below & last image) but realised I didn’t like how it was sitting,…

Life Lately
Stealing this idea from Louise of Polka Spots and Freckle Dots and doing a ‘Life Lately’ post. Visiting I traveled down to Sydney in April to visit family. It marked 2 years since my Sister and Mother passed. It’s hard to believe it’s been 2 years. It was amazing to see family and get to spend time with my Dad. I was only there a short time, but it was good for my soul. Feeling Sick! Ugh, I thought I was just having a bad reaction to the Ozempic I started taking for my diabetes, but turns out I have gastro 🙁 It’s been hell. My mental health has been…
