Untold Stories, Unspoken Pain

My girls and I are soaking up the slower pace of the winter school holidays right now, which has meant I’ve finally curled up with Sara Brunsvold’s latest release, The Atlas of Untold Stories, a powerful Christian women’s fiction novel exploring family, faith and forgiveness.

Lurgy, Laundry, and Loads of Books

Earlier this month, I battled a rather annoying lurgy that sapped my energy and stuffed my head with so much congestion I could barely sleep for several nights in a row. Not the most delightful way to kick off the post–Term 1 school holidays. My grand plans to tackle Mount Washmore and get some solid […]
