Hello Laura,
Thanks for visiting glassonionstories. I am so glad you found me because it allowed me to find you! Your work is outstanding. I hope that in time I can build glassonionstories into a work which is so diverse and enriching as your blog. Certainly one thing we have in common is our desire to ‘keep it real’.
My goal being to explore and collect real life experiences of Australians. You might also like to visit my partner’s blog called ‘Little Tassie Prepper’. It is a fantastic blog which follows our family’s mission to live a sustainable, and simple, life in beautiful Tasmania.
Please keep up the great work, you are making the world a better place.
Cheers,
