5, 10, 15…
This week marked 15 years since I met Mr Oceanchica (Oceanchico? 🙂 ) 15 years! That’s a couple of years short of half my whole life… This week also marked our 10 year wedding anniversary. I am pretty darn happy and feel really blessed to be with someone I share everything with and who never…

10 years on…
Today marks 10 years since I left the US to live in the UK. A whole decade. Just under a third of my life. Incredible. I’ve been thinking about it a lot, what the last 10 years has been for me, and I’m still undecided. The problem is that it’s been so many things. I…

Please hold, your life will be with you shortly.
That’s how I feel at the moment. Everything is kind of put on hold until we get into our new house. There’s all this stuff I want to do when we get in, but I can’t do it until then. Most of it is fun stuff – decorating, picking out furniture, designing wardrobes, some DIY…

Becoming Me
I’ve heard and read often about women feeling they come into their own in their 30s and I now definitely understand it. This year, and the last couple of months especially, I can honestly say I’ve grown a great deal and am more able to define who I am. There is no specific event or…

Bonjour et Au revoir
So, Paris. I won’t say I’ve been longing to go to Paris for my whole life and been in love with all things French or Parisian or anything, because it would all be lies. But yes, I wanted to go to Paris. It’s right there, right on my doorstep practically. Of course I wanted to…

Preparation is key

The intensely stressful times I’ve had this year could possibly have been avoided, if I’d known to prepare for them appropriately. Well, I know now! The next few months will be intense, stressful and a little bit crazy for me at work. So there are…

Quiet Time
The last three months have been CRAZY! It’s been non-stop, we’ve had visitors, gone away for an event, or been busy doing something pretty much every free moment. The free weekends we did end up having we basically did nothing at all as we were so wiped out. Don’t get me wrong, I loved everything…

Happy Anniversary to me!
Today marks 8 years since I moved to the UK from the States! It was a no brainer when I made the decision during the early stages of the very long-distance relationship with Hubby and it has been the best decision of my life. I can’t imagine how things would have been if I had…

Living in the Moment
Last night we went to London and saw Jason Mraz. I have liked his music since his first album, then as you do, things move on. His latest albums however, brought me back to him. The messages in his music are something I need in my life right now. Don’t worry, live in the moment,…
