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

                      As a homeowner, it’s important to secure you home. This is not only for your own safety but also to protect the hard work you put into buying the possessions you own. There are plenty of ways you can secure your home. Some measures include security gates and steel fencing, CCTV or quality locks. Read on to discover a little trick I use and how simple steel fencing can turn your house into Fort Knox.

                      Get security sticker happy

                      Jump online and find an image that says something like ’24 hour security surveillance.’ Then print these off and stick them around your home. Put them near the front door and on windows that face the street. Laminate one and stick it on your letterbox. Even if you don’t have a security system, this is an affordable way to deter would-be intruders. Of course, if you can afford it, fit a real alarm.

                      Go for sturdy steel fencing

                      Add a new steel fence around the border of your property. Steel fences are durable, strong and last the test of time. Make sure you research the best quality and value for money fencing you can find. This investment is worth your time in asking others, reading and testimonials online reviews. Read social media pages to see what customers are saying about supplier products. Adding a new fence is a simple way to mark your territory and screams ‘keep out’ at trespassers. This is important if your property is also close to the road.

                      Why steel fencing rocks

                      • Heat resistant against hot sun
                      • Wind and rain resistant
                      • Crack proof during winter
                      • Corrosion proof over time

                      You can buy steel fencing from Tek Gate & Fence online. Buy fencing from a reputable company otherwise you risk a poor quality fence or install.

                      Invest in your privacy

                      Fences are also great for privacy. You can enjoy life inside your home without worrying about outsiders looking in.

                      Make it too hard for thieves and get a dog

                      Believe it or not, thieves have a ‘too-hard-basket’ too. Fences are ‘hard work’ for thieves and act as a further deterrent. Add a dog behind that fence and they’ll likely never consider entering your home. Fences are a win-win. They keep the dog in and the thieves out.

                      Tip: There are companies who specialise in steel fencing in Perth WA, Victora or elsewhere in OZ.  They give advice about the best type of fence for your property and needs. Ask about style, colour, height and purpose.

                      Future proof your home with a Fort Knox fence. Get a dog. Feel safer.

                      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
