Welcome to Repeat After Me.
Join me in my pursuit of a beautiful life. My journey is multi-faceted and full of ups and downs, like everyone’s, but as I hit my forties I feel a strong need to settle down, dig in, enjoy moments, and love life. Appreciate the huge blessings I’ve been given. Entrust the things I can’t control to God. And make of my short life what I can – finding beauty wherever I can and sharing it with others.
I’m an Australian who married a Kiwi, currently living in the beautiful Tauranga, New Zealand – the pick of spots in the Long White Cloud 🙂 We love it here – such a beautiful mix of city and country – the beach so close, the iconic Mount for weekend walks, the hot pools – what’s not to love?
My little man is currently about 3 years old, and full of beans & character. I have a little girl who is just on 15 months old, getting willful and independent and covered in food. Being the best mum I can be to them without going insane is a priority.
I hope you enjoy sharing my journey with me – I’d love any advice or ideas you have along the way 🙂
Have a great day!

It’s nice to ‘meet’ you Anna. It’s interesting how small children can give us laser focus on what is important. It’s through them we relearn how to revel in simple pleasures, laugh at silly things, and stare in wide-eyed wonder at the world around us. Enjoy the ride! 🙂

You too! Yes, they tell you kids will change everything but you pooh-pooh it. Then you have kids and everything changes haha.
