The Random Musings of a Jersey Girl & Her Family Finding their Way Around The World
I haven’t updated this site in a while. Life’s been busy. Found a new job. Going on 4 weeks now that I’ve been working there. Kids are back to school. Time goes by quickly when you’re busy so it’s been hard to get to the blog. Anyway I wanted to take a quick minute to […]
Today I thought I should mark September 11 somehow. I searched through some images online until I found one that I liked and with it I changed my Facebook cover image – I thought that was the best I could do while living on the other side of the world. But as I sat there […]
So today is the 4th of July in Australia which means nothing to Australians. Tomorrow when it’s the 4th of July in America, everyone will be celebrating America’s Independence and I really hope they know what they’re celebrating and that the people in this video were just the minority.

Not one of my strong suits and definitely not these people’s either. Australians try to label the American states – I think I would do poorly as well. Americans try to label Australian states – Until I moved here I would haven’t gotten any of it! My geography teacher didn’t teach much. Shoot, I can’t even […]
Fun fact: Only 22% of living Australians can trace their ancestry back to English convicts.
It was the 4th of July here yesterday but it wasn’t really Independence Day until today in America. I had hoped to still celebrate by doing the best American BBQ in Australia in Winter but it didn’t work out. I had to work and it was cold and rainy all day so we did the […]
Today is Anzac Day so MJ is home for the holiday. I don’t know much about Anzac Day other than it’s a day of remembering those who fought in the war so I’m assuming it’s like the American Memorial Day. Everything is pretty much closed for today and on television the channels have been covering […]
