With the end of 2017 just around the corner and about to come into full sight, it seems fitting to lay out my personal aspirations and some resolutions of sorts before the new year begins tomorrow. I’ve been doing these ‘x amount of things before my next birthday’ type of lists for a good few years now, but I regret to say that none have been completed in their entirety… I was so determined for my ’31 before 31′ this year, but atlas a newborn certainly does take centre stage and quite rightly so, hehe. And realistically, it probably makes more sense to have a list to achieve before my next ‘milestone’ birthday, rather than an ever increasing list each year! So with a bit of a resolution re-vamp and by popping it up on here for all to see, I hope it will help keep me accountable to all the things I want to achieve during the next few years of life and perhaps anyone reading this may find a little inspiration of their own to do the same.

A FIRST TASTE OF WELLINGTON
A few months ago we headed for a weekend escape down to the bottom tip of New Zealand’s North Island, to visit Wellington for the first time, well my first time to be precise. I’m slightly ashamed to say it, but it is evidently true – I have explored more of the world outside of our tiny

A WINTERS WALK IN THE WAITAKERES
I think what it is that I love about the cooler months, is the way that you can feel that crisp morning air as you breathe in, filling your lungs with an intense injection of fresh life. Accompany this with rolling hills, views across the Waitakeres and a fluffly companion by your side, I just couldn’t resist setting
