    SSG, Weekend Tradie.  Flipit’s Codes for The Iconic.

    I think I’ve found myself a new hobby. Say hello to SSG, weekend tradie. The glorious weather we’re having in Sydney this weekend inspired me to extend myself in the weekend housekeeping department.  With all the usuals done, today felt like the perfect time to tackle some of the more fiddly things I’d been putting…

    Weekend Plans.  Budget Induced Austerity.  Face Creams.

    Will you get a load of this weather, Sydney?   I honestly thought we’d already said goodbye to that perfect sky over the Iron Cove Bridge but perhaps not.  The weekend is forecast to be minimums of awesome and maximums of even more awesome.  The nights aren’t going to be too chilly nor will there…

    Jet Lagged Thoughts Including An Outlet Review.

    I suppose I’m happy to be home and back at work.  It was my first day back in the office yesterday and the warm welcome back I received from my workmates pretty much killed the last dregs of jet lag that I was trying to fight off as I motored up the M4 on the…

    The Magic Kingdom.  J Crew Love.

    Embrace the loud check, readers.  As warmly as you have embraced the sequined Minnie ears. Shirt – Ralph Lauren  The weather has been a bit up and down in Orlando.  It rained all of yesterday, hence the need for a bit of colour in the shirt department and today it’s glorious sun, sun,sun. The quintessentially…

    Hollywood Studios.  Shopping.  Real Vegetables.

    #sequinsarekey  $23.95 USD from Disney stores. I’m sitting at my computer wearing my #sequinsarekey Minnie Mouse headband the morning after my day and night in the world of Disney.  I have a million photos and I’m still floating on a Disney cloud of dreams, fun, drama and colour. I’ve been throwing around ideas in  my…

  • A Postcard From Orlando.

    Hello from the end of my first day in Orlando. A day that began with this view out my hotel room window. And ended with the arches of both my feet aching and my wheeled duffle bag bursting at the seams with all manner of good things.  When I’m the person who feels the need…

  • Mother’s Day At Altitude.

    Mother’s Day At Altitude.

    I’ll be celebrating Mother’s Day at altitude this year.   Across oceans and timezones as I make my way to Orlando via Dallas Fort Worth for my first work trip Post Baby.  Beneath the ‘glamour’ of work related travel, the fact remains that international trips represent hours of flying followed by hours in transit at…

  • Crossing the Friday Finish Line. Eurovision.

    Crossing the Friday Finish Line.  Eurovision.

    Well, that was a week that needed a really deep sigh to farewell it with. Nothing says drama llama more than a black and white selfie before hitting the Friday afternoon peak hour. It looks like I’m officially on leave now. I am being melodramatic.  Friday wasn’t so mad after all.  My absence greeting got…

  • Just A Little Excited.

    Just A Little Excited.

    I’ll be the first one to admit that I’m just a little excited about going on holiday this weekend. How else would you explain waking up at 6am on your day off to iron your pyjamas before putting them in your suitcase?  It being so important to be well turned out in the privacy of…

    Synchronicity.  News That Should’ve Been Front Page.  Other Things.

    How’s this for synchronicity. Eggsellent cover of today’s Good Food, may I introduce my equally eggsellent dinner of hard boiled eggs, instant noodles and a stir fry. It’s not the most attractive stir fry ever photographed but tonight marked a turning point in my stir frying journey.  I actually mastered cooking my vegies without having…
