I’m a Australian Mom of 2 Canadian boys (#1 and #2) living in Odense, Denmark and writing this blog to catalogue my personal style and passion for all things style, kids, parenting, maternity, thrifting and the cities I visit….I know it’s a mouthful, but I’ve got a lot to say!

Hey anna, this is great. Fun! I’m a bit on the old side here…approaching 50. Am i allowed to watch from the sidelines anyhow?
All the best with it.

Hello,
First of all let me congratulate you for your blog which I really enjoy. My name is Cristi and I am a part time blogger living in Europe. The reason why I am contacting you is because I am trying to promote my newly launched webiste http://www.brazilianwaxhq.com. I don’t know if you are accepting guest posts, but if you do I would like to submit one on the Brazilian wax topic. The article will be original, 500+ words long and it will include a short author bio.
If you are fine with it I can send the article for your review.
Thank you,
Hi! thanks for dropping into my blog and saying hi
Definitely lots of Aussies living OS. My Mum actually spends half her life in Ottawa because she’s married to a Canadian. Lots of OS living in my family.
Love all your outfits, you look fabulous!
HI Anna,
I stumbled across your blog and like your style and adorable photos of your kids! I have a 2 year old myself and recently started blogging about maintaining style as a mama. Keep up the great work and will continue to visit!

Dear blogger,
I am marketing a new offer and wanted to possibly buy an ad from you. Can you please answer the following quick questions to help set up something:
1. Can I buy a solo ad from you?
2. How many active subscribers do you have on your list?
3. What is your average email open rate?
4. How much is a solo ad?
Regards,

Hi! I’m Sue, and I’m from SlimKicker, a fitness/diet app and site. I found your blog a few days ago and it captured my interest!
I’m contacting you b/c we’re about to release a fitness tracker (similar to FitBit) early next year, and are looking for bloggers who would be interested in getting 1 for free to review when it is out (negative or positive).
Would you be interested in doing this? You can email me at: sue (at) slimkicker (com) with ‘Review’ in the email heading if you are.
In case you don’t know, our site SlimKicker basically turns your fitness/diet goals into a fun level-up game. The tracker will work in conjunction the website, and allow people to track calories burned and number of steps they walk automatically. The more they exercise, the more points they rack up! That’s basically how it will work.
Anyway, hope to hear back either way…
- Sue

This is my new favourite blog! My little guy just turned 1, and I think our styles are very similar (although mine is still all over the board- I’m into too much!!). Thanks for all the hard work you put in. I would be interested to know your measurements as I struggle sometimes making my figure work for me. Would love to know how we compare, but I understand if you would rather not share.
