I&#8217;m fortunate that I get to see them a few times a year and was over the moon when they visited Sydney in March.

Sometimes life throws stuff at us that we just have to deal with, accept and learn from.  Right now- that&#8217;s what she&#8217;s doing. Not only is she keeping her chin up, she&#8217;s trying to do so with a smile. She recently read [...]]]></description>

In fact, there are an alarmingly high number of cheese based recipes floating around on my &#8220;Yum&#8221; Pinterest board.

We had 7 people staying in our tiny apartment but it was wonderful to have them here and to have the opportunity to show them around my home and my life. Of course I was devastated to see them go. I basically sat on my couch all [...]]]></description>

With that said, there is one form of exercise that I don&#8217;t mind. In fact, over the years I&#8217;ve grown quite fond of it. That little gem is yoga. Don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
