The Great Uncooking :: Healthy Food Made Easy

There’s something incredibly hopeful about a wedding in this day and age. ❤️

This weekend was a beautiful reminder of that. A gorgeous hens celebration, a sunset cruise, a beautiful wedding and a decadent dinner overlooking the river in Noosa. We were so generously and lovingly looked after, and it felt like one of those rare, magical weekends you wish you could bottle.

But it also made me think about the highlight reel we create here on Instagram. We see the sunsets, the celebrations, the beautiful dresses and the big milestones.

What we don’t see is what builds a beautiful life between those moments.

Because falling in love — with a partner, with friends, with family, or with life itself — is mostly about the ordinary. Showing up. Making the bed. Washing the dishes. Having the hard conversations. Choosing each other, and yourself, over and over again.

A magnificent life is built in the mundane, one ordinary day at a time.

And then, every now and again, we get to pause and celebrate the big stuff. Treasure both the big, beautiful milestones and the quiet moments in between. A sunrise. A sunset. A shared meal. A good conversation. A moment of gratitude.

Here’s to love, in all its forms. And to remembering just how hopeful it is that there is still so much love and joy ahead of us. ❤️✨

Congratulations to two beautiful people who reminded me of that this weekend. 🥂

Cool water. Warm sunshine. That delicious little shock to the system.

Contrast bathing is shockingly zingy — like a fish slap to the face, but prettier. ☀️🌊

The Goldilocks effect: you have to build rest into everyday; but not too much. Each week take time to reset your nervous system. Be unhurried, dawdle, navel gaze, cloud watch and sunset appreciate. For someone who is bent on productivity I make sure I take time to smell the roses. but then get back to work. 🥰

Happy Mother’s Day to the people who make the world go round. 🌍
Motherhood is my most cherished role. Never could I have imagined so much joy would come from just one little person.
I always thought I’d be the mother of 4 or 5 children, but it just wasn’t the hand that life dealt me. My son is on the other side of the world and on a social media ban — but I still send him funny videos I think he might like. One day he’ll get them. 😄
My mother was one of those that Hallmark movies thrive on. Nurturing, creative, sensible. She would always bring the extra food, the extra warm clothing, the sage advice.
I didn’t really turn out like my mother. But my son did. 🤷‍♀️🤭
So I had a different way of parenting. I would go for the adventure — leave the house on a whim with no provisions, encourage climbing the tree, the rocks, the mountain. Tell my son sometimes to harden up. I felt I needed to be the mum and the dad. The masculine and the feminine.
But it’s not really true. Because mothering and fathering is not biological. These roles are often the shared responsibility of the village.
And while I’m so grateful that my son and I have been able to take wild holidays around the world — snow ski, surf, learn trapeze, and even that tandem skydive we did together and survived — my favourite parts are the snuggles and the conversations where we share the ups and downs, confide, and both ask each other for advice.
Motherhood has really been an opportunity for me to learn. ❤️ so happy that Lars inherited more than just mum’s curly hair.

You can’t rush yoga.
Effort and relaxation—that’s the dichotomy.
A dance between pushing and retreating—knowing when to do each.
Not a 6-week challenge—a lifelong love affair. Join me for hot yoga tonight: Friday 5:30 pm, Mermaid Waters Goodlife
