Had an amazing weekend at this amusement festival at Frankston's beautiful foreshore. I love to venture out in Frankston and capture all that glitters about our great city. Be sure to check out my Instagram account #Frankstongold where I post all the pictures I take with the kids. I'll try to put some up here too. There are so many hidden secrets about this great city. We love living here. It's such a peaceful and stress-free life.

I'm still very much a kid at heart. I still believe in wishing, dreaming and making dreams come too. As a writer I don't think I'll ever lose the kid in me. I hope you never lose the magic. BTW - be careful what you wish for. Your wishes may well come true.

Lacking motivation? I keep a gym box so on any day I have everything I need to go for a run. When I wake up I never feel like going for a run. But, I've made a habit of putting my gym gear on. Once I'm in the gear I feel a bit silly if I don't go for a run. Once I'm in my gear (after school drop off), I get out of the car near the beach. Once I'm out of the car, I feel silly standing at the beach not running. So I start running. Once running, there's no way out as people are watching me run and I'd feel silly if I stopped running. After a few weeks my body takes over my mind and wants to run. Then I don't even have to think about it. The body is amazing like that! I just rinse and repeat all of the above every day. Works for me!!!!! And, it all starts with this little gym box.

I loved this home project. Firstly, moving books is a workout! Secondly, this was a nice way to add colour to a bedroom. Finally, colour-coding books makes them easier to find. This is because I always remember the colour of a book as opposed the name or author. I hope you enjoy my rainbow bookshelf as much as I enjoyed putting it together. l

                      We’re living in a disposable age. If something is broken, people lack the time to fix their stuff. Many will simply buy new. This isn’t a fabulously frugal way of living and one that cost you money.

                      Typical breakages occur with smartphones and washing machines. Then there are items we’re even less likely to fix. Think cushions, zips or ripped pages in a book.

                      Some of us even bin items that just need cleaning! 

                      And it’s not just small items we’re throwing in the trash. Whole rooms sometimes cop the aftermath of our random fast-paced lifestyles.

                      Get Tiling

                      Here’s an idea that can be transferable across any room.

                      Bathrooms and kitchens are two rooms in the house most likely to be tiled. It’s easy for these to become shabby if we ignore them cleaning wise.  

                      Water stains can show up on darker colours and grout will discolour.

                      So what’s the solution?

                      Many people will rip out the bathroom completely and insist on renovating.

                      But, here are some simple solutions:

                      • Keep paint handy (in the same wall colour) to do touch-ups and freshen the room
                      • Hire someone to do some professional grout cleaning in between the tiles
                      • Keep a cheap bottle of shower spray handy to run over the tiles daily
                      • Consider painting tiles in the bathroom (my hubby used boat paint on one of our renovation projects) and it worked perfectly
                      • In the kitchen consider painting laminate rather than replacing laminate

                      Tip: Work with what you’ve got, rather than reinventing the wheel.

                      Learn DIY & become your own tradie

                      If we all learned how to do a trade such as plastering or painting, we’d collectively save stacks of cash.

                      Here are some other benefits:

                      • No need to call and hunt for tradies
                      • No project management or chasing people up
                      • Fix small jobs yourself – such as the bathroom tap
                      • Invest in some great DIY books and use them as reference

                      Tip: You’ll learn something new and the next time you have the same problem, you’ll know what to do and save even more money.

                      NOTE: Never attempt electrical or gas work yourself – leave this one to the professionals!

                      Had an amazing weekend at this amusement festival at Frankston's beautiful foreshore. I love to venture out in Frankston and capture all that glitters about our great city. Be sure to check out my Instagram account #Frankstongold where I post all the pictures I take with the kids. I'll try to put some up here too. There are so many hidden secrets about this great city. We love living here. It's such a peaceful and stress-free life.

                      I'm still very much a kid at heart. I still believe in wishing, dreaming and making dreams come too. As a writer I don't think I'll ever lose the kid in me. I hope you never lose the magic. BTW - be careful what you wish for. Your wishes may well come true.

                      Lacking motivation? I keep a gym box so on any day I have everything I need to go for a run. When I wake up I never feel like going for a run. But, I've made a habit of putting my gym gear on. Once I'm in the gear I feel a bit silly if I don't go for a run. Once I'm in my gear (after school drop off), I get out of the car near the beach. Once I'm out of the car, I feel silly standing at the beach not running. So I start running. Once running, there's no way out as people are watching me run and I'd feel silly if I stopped running. After a few weeks my body takes over my mind and wants to run. Then I don't even have to think about it. The body is amazing like that! I just rinse and repeat all of the above every day. Works for me!!!!! And, it all starts with this little gym box.

                      I loved this home project. Firstly, moving books is a workout! Secondly, this was a nice way to add colour to a bedroom. Finally, colour-coding books makes them easier to find. This is because I always remember the colour of a book as opposed the name or author. I hope you enjoy my rainbow bookshelf as much as I enjoyed putting it together. l
