Black Rose Halloween Wreath

While a handful of Halloween decorations have popped up in stores, there isn't nearly what I had hoped for. I haven't seen a single fake pumpkin anywhere and so much of my Halloween crafting involves those. I'll be better prepared next year! I've managed to cobble together a few random supplies, though, and have been creating my own Halloween. With just a few supplies and half an hour, I made this fun and spooky black rose Halloween wreath. It's hanging next to our front door and I've been asked ... Read More

Halloween Celebrations around the World

Halloween Celebrations around the World

I have been missing Halloween in the worst way this year. I grew up with Halloween being an actual season--decorations, costumes, and neighborhood trick or treating. No one celebrates Halloween quite like North America. The United States took Irish traditions, massively commercialized them, and made them into something much bigger (and I love it!). Thanks to the spread of American expatriates and American culture, though, Halloween is catching on in more places. I'm hoping to be a part of that ... Read More

Why You Should Consider a Fall Visit to New Zealand

New Zealand as a Fall Destination

Here are a few reasons why you should consider a fall visit to New Zealand. Hawke’s Bay The North Island region of Hawke's Bay may be the best area to visit ... Read More

Best Museums in Edinburgh

I am so missing Edinburgh and am so grateful for the time I had there. History, art, and architecture abound and I loved just walking around and taking it all in. The museum geek in me loved being able to pop into one of the many museums as I passed by. With so many museums, deciding which ones to visit can be overwhelming if you're visiting for a short time. Here is a list of the best museums in Edinburgh, where you are sure to learn something new and deepen your appreciation for the beauty and ... Read More

Update Boring Clothes with Nuno Deco Fabric Tape

We're changing seasons here in New Zealand (not that you'd know it from the howling gale outside) and spring cleaning has been on my mind for two weeks. We've gone through clothes to see what still fits, what can be passed down, what is going into a donation bag, and what's just past it. Matilda, as the youngest, lives in mostly hand-me-downs. There are some pieces that she's excited to receive, but others just have her moaning that they're boring. I feel her pain and have been playing around ... Read More

Magnificent Beaches in New Zealand

While New Zealand has been part of my life for fifteen years now, I'm still learning new things about it every day. Life is very different for us in New Zealand this time around, mostly because we have kids and school to contend with now. It's nice to have guests posts like this one to tell us where the most magnificent beaches in New Zealand are. Maureen of So Many Places! So Little Time! is sharing great info for tourists and locals alike.   New Zealand has over 15,000 kilometers ... Read More

Welcome

about me

I’ve wanted to be an archaeologist, in theatre, a judge, and to run a museum. While I try to decide what I want to be when I grow up, I spend my time crafting and exploring the world. Read More…
