WHAT A YEAR! CHECK OUT Our 2019 Highlights

 



We’re working hard on building our dream life, one step at a time! We feel very lucky that we can wake up everyday and do what we love. This week we’re reflecting on how amazing 2019 has been (the best year yet) and sharing our secret goal planning tips - something we have been doing for the past 4 years. We take it very seriously and attribute our health, wealth and happiness to planning and doing.


top 5 Highlights of 2019

1.our diy wedding


Marrying each other was without a doubt the highlight of our year! We had an incredible DIY wedding at our neighbours property - Freshwater Creek Cottages. We worked so hard on creating our perfect day and had the time of our lives! Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us. A day we’ll never forget!

2. Sri Lanka

Straight after our wedding we shot off to Sri Lanka for three weeks. It was an incredible holiday of adventure, relaxing and learning.

We hiked Sigyria and Ella. Took multiple cooking classes and spent a lot of time surfing and reading in Arugam Bay.

If you’ve been considering a holiday in Sri Lanka, we highly recommend.

3.Margot 

In winter this year we took on an orphaned lamb Margot, bottle-feeding and raising her. It was a wonderful experience and she grew up into a very independent little lamb.

5. Starting our Journal & Breaky Show and widening our community. 

This year we started our Journal and our Breaky Show and it has been so much fun! We’re widening our community and meeting amazing people with our Journal and our Breaky Show is such a fun way to share our journey.








Thank you!

Your support means the world to us - we wake up and do what we love everyday because of people like you choosing support, local, handmade, small business. 



You’re the best!





What’s to come in 2020?


We’d love to say that this has all happened by chance but really it comes down to making plans and taking action on them. We are big into goal setting, we do it every year between Christmas and New Year together. We’ve been doing this for the past 4 years and it’s pretty amazing to reflect and see you’ve ticked things off without even realising. 



Imo does a lot of goal setting strategy sessions with clients and friends and realises the unbelievable power in writing down what you want and having a clear vision. So we’ve decide to take all of Imo’s goal setting notes and create a free downloadable guide - this is literally a step-by-step, break it down guide on setting goals and achieving them for better health, wealth and happiness.



We are building our dream life one step at a time and want to share what works for us! We’re so proud of this little book and really hope that you enjoy it.
