Throwback Thursday – A new life in Australia

This is it. The day is here. Later tonight, my daughter Laura will board a plane in Vancouver on the way to her new life in Australia. A hundred years ago, her great grandparents set out on a similar voyage and that’s the topic for today’s Throwback Thursday post.

With multiple flights and 24 hours of travel, the journey to Australia feels harrowing by today’s standards. In contrast, however, my grandparents’ voyage by sea to Australia in the 1920s took several weeks.

Learn more about my grandparents’ adventures on their way to a new life in Australia in this post from 2021. It’s one of my favourite pieces from the Clutter Tales series, inspired by something I found when cleaning out my night table drawers.

In the blink of an eye, they’re all grown up

During our Easter decluttering spree, we found the old growth charts that hung on the walls in our daughters’ rooms when they were small. The girls might be all grown up, but those charts brought back fond memories of their childhood! It’s time for another Clutter Tale.

An adorable letter to the Tooth Fairy

Sorting and decluttering our daughters’ rooms has brought back many memories, but an odd find in Laura’s room reminded me of how the Tooth Fairy left more than money at our house. It’s time for another Clutter Tale!

Clutter Tales – It’s time to let go of baby clothes

Except for a handful of items, I got rid of my daughters’ baby clothes long ago. As we’ve been clearing out Laura’s room in preparation for her big move later this year, I found a couple of interesting items. It’s time for another Clutter Tale!
