If I had to pick my favorite movie genre, it would be comedies – and I’m definitely a big fan of the Rom-Com. My DH and DD, not so much. They’re more into action flicks with car chases and explosions, or sci-fi flicks with aliens in cars causing explosions and chasing people. That sort of

While it’s Monday morning here, for a lot of peeps it’s still Sunday (lucky!!) and the last day of my boxed set sale. I’m not going to post links because I’m pretty sure everyone from Oban in Stewart Island to Alaska has heard about my sale, and okay, if you haven’t, check out this post you

I found this online the other day and it perfectly sums up my marriage. I’m the worrier, DH is the ‘she’ll be right’ guy. I’ve lost count of the times DH has talked me down off the cliff’s edge (dammit, the cliff felt REAL to me!) and I guess I’m pretty happy about it. Goodness

There’s something so special about a little girl and her daddy. And this is just BEAUTIFUL! I’ve written a few kid characters in my books, both girls and boys, and I confess, some of their best and worst characteristics are *loosely based* on my Master 19 and Miss 15 (who will be 16 in

Monday Morning Mumblings…

This weekend my crazy, but devoted DH took our daughter up to Mt Ruapehu on a ski camp with a whole bunch of other teenagers. It’s about a 4-5 hour drive from our place to the mountain, but because of torrential rain and masses of traffic they didn’t arrive until 11pm – seven hours after they left

Still in love after all this time…

I spotted this online this week and just had to share, because love like this? Who doesn’t want it, right? Fifty seven years of marriage and this couple still look madly in love. It’s what I want my characters to have (whaddya mean, they’re fictional?!) and it’s what I hope in thirty years time my DH

This weekend DH managed to convince me to get up at the crack of dawn for an hour and three quarter drive to Carterton in the Wairarapa. And by crack of dawn, I mean we had to leave at 9 a.m. to meet up with some other Sunbeam Classic Car members to go on a

Thoughts on a G.A.B (Great All Black) ~ Chasing Great movie

Sep 8, 2016Tracey Alvarez6 Comments2016All Blacks, Chasing Great, movie, New Zealand, Rugby, Rugby romance

I’m the first to admit that up until a few years ago, I had little time and zero interest in rugby. I would catch snippets as I passed by the TV while my husband watched the odd test, and roll my eyes as he shouted encouragement at the screen. Puh-lease. It was just a bunch
