We’ve lived here almost 2 years now. I can’t believe it and it’s coming to my realisation that it’s coming to an end. Our contract, two years with an optional third, has a flexible end to accomodate the incoming directors, could end before we know it and I wanted to share with you some things […]

Elliot just turned 5 and because we’re living and working where we are, he has never been to kinder, he did go to occasional care when we were in Portarlington and for a term or so when we were up here. It’s at least an hour each way to town including the flying fox, or […]

Since Alice (of The Whole Daily) starting talking about 9v9 Veggie Challenge I have been intrigued. 9 cups of veggies a day for 9 days, should be simple right, and even though I know that I feel better when eating a lot of veggies and protein, I found that I was still filling up on […]

It was our 7th wedding anniversary yesterday. We celebrated over the weekend with a five course dinner at The Long Paddock in Lindenow. We’d been there for lunch before and love their philosophy on celebrating local East Gippsland producers. And this year they have started doing five course dinners on a Saturday night. We love […]

Each year at Wollangarra the staff team go through a huge amount of training to get them prepared for the year ahead. There’s really no qualifications needed for our Outdoor Leader positions (more and more we are finding that we’re getting outdoor qualified applicants) but mostly we look for enthusiasm and an understanding of the Wollangarra […]

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how I was no longer fun. I’d lost the fun in my life and I didn’t even know where to start to find it. Honestly, I’d stopped looking because that’s just what life had become, but then I realised that I owed it to myself to find […]

I’ve always claimed that I’m not funny. Honestly, usually just saying, ‘I’m not funny’ gets a laugh. But recently I’ve noticed that I’m not having fun, I’m not fun. I know how to have fun. The things you do to have fun, hang out with friends, doing cartwheels, going for a swim, dancing in the […]

I love podcasts, particularly those about doTERRA and self help. But after listening to those I could find about doTERRA, I thought how great it’d be to have a podcast that was slightly more relatable. I love listening to podcasts by those who have moved through the ranks and are now sitting at Diamond or […]

I’ve been wanting to update this blog for a while, write a heartfelt post about what we’re doing and how we’re going but the truth is, there’s honestly too much that I just can’t share. There’s too much around living and working at the extraordinary place that isn’t mine to share. I know we all […]

If you haven’t participated in one of doTERRA’s BOGOs before you just aren’t living (ha!). It’s the most FUN and CHEAPEST way to score a bunch of oils. Whether that’s topping up your own collection, getting new oils or getting some extra oils to give as gifts this year. From tomorrow (Monday 19th) to Friday […]

Last week Jay took the staff up into the high country for some hike training, having Elliot, I stayed on the flat and Mum and Dad came to visit. Mum and Dad always do a huge amount of incredibly helpful jobs around Wollangarra but particularly our cottage Tussocky. We had a lovely couple of slow […]
