Pondering. A Favourite Muffin Recipe.
The weather right now is my most favourite thing to wear. It goes with everything. Necklace – Red Phoenix Emporium, dress – DVF. It flatters every skin tone and makes monochrome prints pop. I’m loving being able to finally wear my frocks and to be losing all those winter layers. Doesn’t everything look more…

Finds In the Sunshine.
Picturesque normally doesn’t describe car park exits but I couldn’t resist taking this photo on my way out of Rhodes yesterday afternoon. The blue sky and fluffy clouds reflecting off the still water in the distance and the way that the endless blocks of high rise apartments somehow don’t manage to look and feel as…

Beautiful Saturdays in September. Stone Ground Bakery.
One of the best things about September is that beautiful Saturdays like today are only just beginning for that magical time of the year that is Sydney in the spring. The sun is up a bit earlier these days and the mornings only have a slight crispness to them. Just enough to tip you out…

A Lovely Friday. A White Linen House Review.
It’s been a lovely Friday in my neck of the woods. The kind which started with a morning where I wasn’t chasing my tail just to head out the front door. Wake ups occurred with even tempers, nappy changes were still and the worst thing that happened at breakfast time was crushed, dry Weetbix being…

Current Affairs. Life At Home.
I don’t really have anything intelligent to add to the topics currently trending in Australian current affairs but I do think about them a great deal. And I’m not talking about the celebrity surprise baby (Ryan and Eva) and bump (Lara and Sam) announcements. On those topics, I’ll just add my joy and best wishes…

New Specs. Pumpkin Mac’n’Cheese.
There’s nothing I like better than combining a public health message with a spendy, designer purchase in a blog post. So, without further ado…. Readers, if you are a heavy wearer of contact lenses, don’t be lazy about getting your eyes checked on an annual basis. I let things slide last year and only managed…

The Festival of the Winds, 2014. Birki Season At Last.
Seriously. How glorious was Sunday, fellow Sydneysiders? It was sunny but not too hot, the Goldilocks of spring days. Which was all the direction I needed from the skies to strap Toddler SSG into the our baby black SUV to join the convoy of similarly car seated baby SUVs snaking up New South Head Road…

Risotto History. An Early Night.
History was made in the SSG Manor Test Kitchen this afternoon. I made an edible risotto and I did it without burning a single pot or breaking into a sweat. The purists may want to stop reading at this point as I reveal my secret. I made mine in the oven using this recipe from The…

Demi Moore Nachos. This and That.
Thank goodness the weekend is here. At last. I’m off this weekend and am planning to make the most of any sun that comes my way by kicking back on the front verandah with a cold fizzy drink and as Toddler SSG busies himself with that new Ikea easel of his, the pot…

Hootella. Sour Cream Dip Ideas.
I reckon this week is going to be one of those rare ones with enough happy news headlines to please most people. The week began with the Royal Baby announcement and today’s breaking news is the big reveal of the iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 Plus and … From Ricky Gervais’ Facebook feed this morning.…
