Mini Mag Lights. Metallic Sunday.
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I started mine with a bit of an after hours adventure on Friday night. The streets of our suburb get pretty dark early in the evening during winter and the footpaths also have some notoriously uneven stretches. Friday was also the day the women’s magazines had raced their…

The Grounds of Alexandria. At Last.
There are those lucky days when the GPS and time management gods manage to smile down upon me simultaneously. I had to drop Mr SSG off at the airport early yesterday morning and the drive to the airport is not my most favourite one. Fortunately, the trip progressed with military like precision and I didn’t…

The Little Prince.
Yes, I did get a bit teary and nostalgic over my toast this morning as I browsed the first photos the world got to see of Baby Cambridge and his parents as they left hospital for home. www.digitalspy.co.uk They were just like any other new parents excited to be leaving hospital and heading home to…

Baking In Ugg Boots. A Personal Everest Conquered.
Mum’s arrived. Numerous cups of tea have been shared and numerous cuddles have been bestowed on Baby SSG. It’s only been three days but mum’s worked her magic on nap time – lots of lullabies and lap time are her secrets. On his part, Baby SSG is lapping up the extra attention and he’s showering…

Extreme Saloning At Home.
Did you have the pleasure of feeling the sun on your bare forearms today? It’s amazing how little things like that can set you up for a great day. My mum’s flying in from Perth to stay with us today. She’s been counting down the days and perfecting the song and…

The Waiting. Routine.
It’s so easy waiting for other people’s babies to arrive. It’s not you having to run around finalising purchases for the nursery. At the one point in your life where though you have all the time in the world to be deciding on things yet haven’t got the energy or concentration with which to do…

Double Shot Lipton’s. The Rosie Project. Fast Food Wedges.
Is there anything more beautiful at this time of the year than the mid afternoon sun? I feel so lucky every time I get the chance to be out for a walk when the sun is just so and the winter chill is just enough to keep you going at a brisk pace rather than…
