Hullo, lovelies.

Here is a blog I came across the other day. Now that I have my own apartment, I also have the responsibility of making it look relatively awesome too. After living amongst boxes, I now realize how important your living space is to your mental state. Sitting uncomfortably on the floor and stepping around boxes doesn’t leave you feeling bright and cheery. Decor8 is written and compiled by an interior designer and writer, living in Hannover, Germany. She also writes a lovely blog about being an ex-pat, called Haus Maus which provides some great insights and photos of Hannover. Check out these community bookcases!

As the dust settles from my trip to Chicago, Boston and NYC, I find myself back in the South…

The latest installment of my column, Back Again for the First Time, for Morph Magazine is now online! Three cheers for NYC! This time, I talk about my experience in the Big Apple where I hula hooped on a roof, talked to a big-wig ad exec about art toys and caught up with some talented friends.

I’ve been busy lapping up the autumnal activities in North Carolina but in between frolicking in pumpkin patches and finding my way through corn mazes, I’ve been writing a new column for Devonport, NZ-based arts and culture magazine, MORPH. I’ve been involved with MORPH in its print form and am happy to join it in its venture at being an online magazine. My column is called, “Back Again for the First Time” and is a very honest look at my crash landing back into the USA, my family and a culture I feel a bit like a stranger in.

You can read my column and other awesome MORPH columns here. You’ll know mine by the hula hooping photo.

Here’s some love to you, wherever you are.
