I’ve always wanted WomensNook.com to feel like an online home for you to visit whenever you have a spare moment, so I’ve made some changes to reflect this.
Each room contains many interesting things for you to read, enjoy and ponder as you go about enriching your daily life.
A home is where we retreat to - to feel welcome and safe, comfortable and familiar and know where to find things that are important to us - so take a look around and make yourself at home!
On the Bookshelf
Women love to read. We’re always passing on information about books when we catch up with friends for coffee. We love to know what each other is reading at the moment; what book is a great read; which one will give the bookclub lots of issues to discuss …
So take a look on the bookshelf for something interesting that catches your eye and then curl up on a comfortable chair with cup of tea, or a glass of wine, and have a read. You’ll find reviews, interviews, maybe a video, a new favourite cook book, a travel memoir, the latest releases or an old favourite you haven’t thought about for ages …
The Kitchen
There’s a jam jar of freshly cut herbs on the sill and the aroma of an apple cake just about to come out of the oven … home cooking is what it’s all about don’t you think?
I feel The Kitchen is the hub of our online home just as it often is in real life.
This is where you lean against the bench, daydream a bit, maybe listen to a little music while you make a cup of coffee, look up a tried and true recipe for tonight, get inspiration on what to do with some seasonal ingredient or other, follow handy tips and techniques, or find a recipe for the weekend that you remember reading a little while back.
The Nook
It seems that every woman wants … no, needs a nook to retreat to. Somewhere to spend a little quiet time, gather thoughts, find inspiration …
The Nook is a special place that I visit often to indulge myself. I love to have a few special things around me - like my pencil, a few notebooks, maybe a little flower or leaf from the garden, a faintly scented candle, definitely some favourite music and of course, my computer.
It’s here I retreat to look for inspiration, make lists of my favourite places and things, find some new links I love to look at and check out really useful websites - it’s forever changing depending on what catches my heart and eye … so pop into The Nook for lots of personal recommendations that I think you’ll like too.
The Lounge Room
Come on in and snuggle down amongst the cushions to flip through lots of really informative articles …
Take some ‘me’ time to catch up on the latest articles on women’s health that provide you with reliable and up to date information for your wellbeing as a woman.
Other posts give you the opportunity to think about how you might make a difference in so many inspirational ways; for yourself, your family, your community and the world …
The Guest Room
Pop into the Guest Room and see who’s visiting WomensNook.com.
Get to know the inspirational women who are here. Maybe it’s the latest interview you want to catch up on or you’re curious about the contributions from women of all ages who share their ideas and stories, or maybe just a photograph, for us to enjoy.
You can be a guest too or you may know of a women we should hear more about. Contact me and we can talk about the possibilities …
The Coffee Shop
I know we’re all busy with one thing or another, but there’s something special about making time to catch up with friends at a favourite café to talk about … well, anything really!
There’s the anticipation, the cosy feeling you get with friends around you, the aroma of coffee, the sharing of news and the infectious laughter.
I’m sure you know what I’m talking about so grab a coffee or tea and let’s get together at the WomensNook cafe to ask a question, offer a suggestion, pass a comment or simply read what others have to say.
