My 2025 upload schedule

Schedule wise I am planning to keep my author and main channel posting schedule the same (every Wednesday for beautyqueen and the 1st,15th, and 28th of every month for Phoebe M.C.)

My podcasts will also stay the same every fortnight on a Monday for my author podcast and every fortnight on a Thursday for my true crime podcast.

However, I am going to change it up a little bit and instead of new blog posts going live on the 1st of every month, they will be going live on the 15th.

Moving to a new country | with kids

Moving to a new country can be exciting but nerve wracking add in children and it can feel overwhelming to say the least, today I want to share all the advice and tips I have to move overseas after having just made an overseas move for myself with my two young daughters. Mid January I moved from New Zealand back to Australia, some of you may know that I was actually born in Australia and lived over here until 2011 so for me this was about returning home but for my kids it was moving countries for the first time and while my youngest had no idea what was going on as she was only 3 months old my eldest had a range of emotions and it was honestly quite tough on her at times.

Tips for decluttering

Decluttering can help create a more organized and stress-free living space or even just make it easier when it comes time to move. With my recent move I spent a few months slowly decluttering and downsizing my belongings to make the final step of selling what wasn’t coming and packing what was easier and I thought I would share some of the tips that helped me as an ADHD solo mum of two declutter my house after holding on and hoarding a lot of belongings from throughout the years. 1. Start small Choose a small area to start, like a drawer or a shelf, to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Work for a set amount of time, such as 15 or 30 minutes, to maintain focus and avoid burnout. 2. Sort items Label four boxes as "Keep," "Donate," "Sell," and "Trash." Sort all the items into these categories as you go, this also keeps things clean when you do decide to stop for the day. Remember to handle each item. 3. Evaluate necessity Ask yourself questions like: ...
