Posted on November 13, 2013 by Bec

Posted on November 5, 2013 by Bec

‘I was here’ and other things on YouTube that make me cry

Posted on October 25, 2013 by Bec

I was here, and not at the Beyonce concert in Melbourne when my Facebook and Instagram feeds were clogging hard with fabulous photos from the Mrs Carter Show. I don’t go to many concerts, not because I don’t enjoy joining … Continue reading →

You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone

Posted on October 17, 2013 by Bec
