Here is my very own vey hungry caterpillar. Many of the photos I take are on the floor. I’ve learnt it’s easier to stand over bub’s than climb a chair and lean above the bed. It’s also safer for both of us that neither can fall if our feet are planted on the floor. Post […]
New years day and here we are! This is a photo I never in a million years would have posted 12 months earlier. Last January, I shied away from having any swimsuit photos taken and felt so uncomfortable in my skin. If I could go back, I would shake that silly size 12, 70kg fool […]
A new year and a new activity. I’ll be re-enrolling in my Masters course this year so it’s essential I quell this baby brain that’s made it self rather at home in the soup bowl that’s left of my brain. Instagram and I are firm friends though I wanted to extend that friendship to my […]
My wrap up of the year that’s been is a piece of cathartic writing: more for me than an audience though hopefully of some interest to any who may stumble upon it. This time last year, the sweet, salty Summer breeze I love about the seaside town I live in sparked my annual December conundrum: […]

Social media has […]
A topic that interested me throughout my media studies this semester has been how we navigate a sustained attention span and the follow on effects that may have on our mental health. A blog post I wrote on adult colouring received much attention and was the highest viewed to date according to my stats. While […]
So here we are on the 21st of October 2015 and Seth Sentry still has us asking where our hover boards are. Much has changed since Doc’s DeLorean burst into the future and it’s time to reflect on what we’ve learned. Much like the midnight lightning strike, I was hit with many an idea throughout semester for […]
Adult colouring books. They’re the latest craze to jump on the well being band wagon and I must say I’m a huge fan. The exotic outlines of palm trees and toucans transport my mind to calmer time sitting back sipping a coconut in Malaysia without a care in the world. Whether you dare shade in […]
This past week at UOW has been research work for the many undergrad students and for possibly the first time in my 6 years here, I’ve actually done some research and in the process created a poor quality production video blog along the way. Hurrah! The way we use technology to record ourselves and strangers […]
