British army (commonwealth) wife blog pt.1 – Getting to the UK (Fijian Edition)
There’s a part of me that really wanted to read a blog or something about what it’s like being the wife of a British Army soldier before I made the move. But I couldn’t find anything that felt like me. So here I am now — living in the UK, married to a soldier, with twins in tow — writing…

Gratitude for 33
What a season and what a time. I turned 33 this year and I could not have been more grateful. I celebrated my birthday with my husband and sons with dancing, roses, good music, and some amazing home cooking. It was so simple yet so fulfilling. This must be a 30s thang because chhhiiiillleee the…

First Sunday of 2025
There are so many lessons that I learned in 2024 that I’m definitely carrying into this year and if I’m honest, a lot of it was learned and pruned off of me in some of my darkest moments last year. And this first Sunday of the 2025 set the tone for what I’m really looking…

The Fijian Woman
Strong. Resilient. Powerful. Too much. Not enough. These are only some of the words and phrases I’ve usually heard when describing the Fijian Woman.
