Mailing List Maturity. Reese’s New Film.
I made a New Years resolution several years back which involved removing myself from as many mailing lists as I could. An extension of this was to not add myself to new lists each time I discovered a new etailer. The theory being that with much less tempting junk coming through to my inbox, I’d…

Glebe. ‘My Salinger Year’. A Report From My Kitchen.
The whole aim of summer weekends, as far as I can tell, is to spend as much of them outdoors as possible. And the earlier you can start out on the Saturday morning, the better. There’s the benefit of a touch of coolness to the air and a bit of shade to go with the…

Intermittently Living the Etsy Life. Rimmel’s Provocolips. Cake Fail.
It’s as if Toddler and I have been doing this for years. My bag – Mulberry Bayswater, skirt – Boden. Toddler SSG’s backpack – Tiny Me, outfit – T by CO Kids and shorts from Mix Kids. It’s been two weeks since daycare started and we’ve slipped into a routine that works for both of…

Globes, Ribcages and ‘The Rosie Effect’. Variety for A Wednesday.
I know I’m starting today’s post off with photos from this week’s Golden Globes but don’t worry, you won’t be getting my considered opinion on the Fay and Poehler assessment of their colleagues and world politics. www.eonline.com Nor will I weigh in on the lifetime achievement joke that they leveled at Amal…

And Now They Are Two.
It’s been a bit grey and blegh in Sydney, hasn’t it? But at least the drizzly start to the week delivered me a cup of coffee from my favourite cafe at work. The girls are back from holidays at The Courtside Cafe and they’re brewing as mean a coffee as they ever did. It was…

Of Catching Up, Washi Tape and Pink Mega Bloks.
Hello Friday, you universal day of happiness. The day on which takeaway coffees magically balance on lift railings for a full five storey ride upwards without spilling. Linen blouse – Uniqlo, necklace – Lovisa. Unfortunately, my $3 bargain necklace broke after taking this photo (the karma of selfies perhaps?) and is no longer. And…

MId Week News. Sigma v Furless, My Verdict.
It’s Wednesday and we’ve all survived. I’m not sure how but somehow appointments have been kept and a satisfying number of things have been crossed off various shopping and to do lists. Shame it’s not the weekend already or even a short working week because I think I need a huge catch up sleep.…

Daycare Daze.
It’s been a big week already here at SSG Manor. And Tuesday’s only half cooked. Toddler SSG started daycare on Monday but preparations have been weeks in the making with the official ironing on of his clothing labels. The sets that tinyme make are the best life hack for first time day care mums. All…

A Summer’s Day in Sydney.
Those hazy, lazy days of summer are officially here, Sydney. Even though the festive break is almost over, it feels like the holidays have only just begun to me. The pressure of Christmas is off, the dilemmas of New Years (what to do on the night of the eve and what to resolve to do…

The First Friday of 2015. Fold Up Stroller Suggestions?
And just like that, my Santas, jingly bells and snow dome have huddled together as they prepare for another year of hibernation in the Christmas decorations box. Until next year, Santa…. It won’t be long before the shelves at the supermarket are filled with Easter eggs and hot cross buns. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened…
