About Me

This is my blog on living and loving life without children after infertility. Currently I'm a blogger, a self-employed businessperson, amateur photographer, and keen traveller - though I'm an armchair traveller right now, along with the rest of the world.

This is a space for thoughts on my No Kidding lifestyle, the good and the bad, remembering what was lost, and celebrating what I have.

I love to hear from readers, and you can email me here:
nokiddinginnz at gmail (dot) com

Or find me on Instagram:

I blog on A Separate Life about my everyday life.

My husband and I are the stereotypical couple without children who love to travel. I am (at) travellingMali on Instagram and there I post photos of various trips internationally, past and present, and of NZ travels, along with occasional photos from where I live.

In 2013 I travelled in Europe and the Middle East for five months, and kept a blog at Lemons to Limoncello.

I also had a travelblog some years ago, but stopped posting in 2012. You can find it at Mali's Travelalphablog. I'm hoping to start a travel blog again, so watch this space!

In 2018, I undertook a daily blogging challenge at x365 Take Two.
