I am taking part in Megan’s 30 Day Geek out Challenge. However, rather than post one entry per day, I’ll be answering each week’s questions in batches of five! This post covers questions 1-5.
Holiday: The Best Pizza and The Quarantine Station
This is just a super short post about the holiday my boyfriend and I went on this past week. We visited my favourite Italian restaurant on Philip Island, and explored the old quarantine facility at Portsea.
4 Years of RUMPs
This is a requested followup post to Switching to Reusable Menstrual Products and Followup on RUMPs. I go into a fair bit of detail in this article. So if periods are TMI for you, you might want to skip this piece.
