Long Weekend Baking.
When the 3 pack of Purpak unsalted gets put out on the kitchen bench first thing in the morning, you just know that some serious baking is about to go down. After a sleep that would make a log look like an insomniac, I actually woke up feeling 3/4 human which is a massive improvement…

Better Late Than Never.
Have I missed anything? I’m two days and around 20 hours sleep behind everyone else this Easter long weekend….. But I’m determined to make up for it. I clocked off from work just before lunch time today. Yellow was the perfect colour to wear today. It was just the visual lift I needed as…

The Festival of the Bun and the Boot.
The lead up to the Easter long weekend might be a little low key compared to Christmas but it’s not without its own unique moments of tradition, religion and let’s face it – food. Toddler SSG and I have been going on an Easter egg hunt with Spot every night this week but we…

Hot Cross Buns!!!!!!
The stakes were high when I rose from my sick bed this morning and willed myself to get dressed for work and hop (it is nearly Easter after all) into the car for a foggy commute to work. The bridge and the boats did look spectacular though, as I drove in. I’ve never been brave…

Monday Mornings.
The trick to Monday mornings is to start them off right. Your method may vary but a red lip and good coffee are my current go tos. I’m really loving those new Maybelline ColorDrama Intense Velvet lip pencils. I’m wearing the shade Light It Up and if you knew what I looked like with 3…

White Bread Saturday.

The First Purchases of the Season. Eyeliner Epiphany.
It’s been a while since we talked fashion on the blog. So much has been going on that I’ve found myself sticking to a rotation of tried and tested outfits. And then the mid season sale emails started hitting my inbox… www.metalicus.com Which is how I found my new favourite little black dress. It’s from…

The Weather – It’s Glorious.
There’s only one word for the weather in Sydney today. Fantastic. It’s currently sunny with a touch of crisp coolness to the air. The sun feels soft on your skin and it’s such a joy to not be assaulted by a thick fog of humidity as you get on with your day in the great…

Of Cakes and Contouring.
You have to find your fun where you can when the weather’s going through a hormotional phase. It was cold then it was humid then it rained and then it thundered before it warmed up and cooled down again. It was like living with a teenager minus the acne and floordrobe. Fortunately, I had some…

Go, Go, Go.
We begin today with a working mother pity party for one. While it’s lovely never having a dull moment in my life these days, it’s also pretty tiring. I feel as if all I do each day is plan, problem solve, write lists, tick things off lists, look at my watch, curse the traffic all…
