What are your plans for Australia Day? Do you head to local events, the park, friends house for a barbecue? What about the beach, the river or do you like to chill at home? I love celebrating Australia Day. I always have. It’s cheesy I know and I say it a lot… I love where I … More Love where we live… Australia Day yey!
We all have hair issues (well some of us normal people do). I have fine, dry hair which I lighten, there’s not much of it and tends to frizz and curl to its heart’s content. At the thought of humidity little ringlets will form on the hair line of my neck and Shirley Temple curls … More The Goddess in my bathroom…
My first blogging birthday is in 23 days… I’m saying “wow”, I’m saying “I made it” and “high 5’s” to you because someone’s actually reading this. I always try to stretch my birthday out for the week, why not? So if you’re a blog why not try a month! June is now Bling and Butterflies … More My little blog’s birthday month…
I don’t know who is more excited about going to the Sydney Royal Easter Show this year, me or the kids! I haven’t been to the show for (I’m guessing) 30 years and the kids, well they’ve never been. Given we live 3 hours from Sydney, it’s not our “local”. I may have been a little … More Show season love…
We all have a dream. Some of us have a goal or two. All of us wish for something more than what we have. Do you do anything about it? Are you actively seeking out and reviewing your goal each year? Or do you plod on hoping it will come along and sometimes it does, then … More Dreaming your goals into life
How do any of us learn to cook? I have friends who are self acknowledged shockers in the kitchen and others who are chefs and produce dreamy food people pay for. I probably fit at the lower end of the scale through no lack of trying! In the eyes of my children I’m not too … More Cooking to my limits…
It’s been 7 months since I clicked that “publish” button and my first blog post was no longer safe and secure in my little head. Off it went into the big scary world all by itself, open and vulnerable to the scrutiny and opinions of people I know and scarily enough people I don’t. There were … More Mumma’s learning…
One of those days at the beach – reminiscing…. It’s a semi-overcast day and I’m at the beach lying on a towel periodically peering up to check on my two little boys and one big boy in the water. I may have jeans on and a long sleeve t-shirt with a scarf and as I … More Beach in Jeans…
I’ve thrown any returning to school routines out the window (gasp), jumped in the car and joined friends and their families for some much needed holiday fun and laughter… If you have kids you might be thinking about uniforms and school supplies, perhaps ideas for lunches and the concept of getting the little ones back … More Embracing the holiday un-routine…
I loved to bake as a kid. My mum came from a large family who baked and sewed… a lot! When I was around 10 years old (I think) cooking scones was my forte. They are simple, easy and a recipe that can be played with depending on what you feel like. We would often … More Scones and Pancakes with Love…
