Easing Into Nesting. Lunch at Jamie’s Italian.
The things I’ve done with all this time I’ve suddenly come into the possession of. My long neglected hair straightener and curling wand were retrieved from the top shelf of the spare wardrobe with visions of a head of loose curls being mine by mid morning. It was not to be. Despite my best efforts…

A Less Mobile Passenger.
When I took advantage of the priority seating on the bus for less mobile passengers yesterday, I didn’t realise that I’d be even less mobile off the bus today. I’ve managed to roll my ankle today. Walking a very familiar path, I might add. I’ll live to tell another day but it’s such an annoying…

PMD Personal Microderm Review.
In the world of skincare, I’m a firm believer in the do it yourself, at home treatment. It’s convenient, often works out to be relatively economical and there’s no pressure to commit to a series of sessions if you don’t feel something is working for your skin. There’s also that small matter of denial. If…

What Would Hillary Do? A Dumpling Coma.
I don’t know about you but looking for a new car is the one kind of shopping I loathe. Mr SSG and I started out early on Saturday and even had the foresight to bring Baby SSG’s pram along to see how it would fit in various types of car. I’m a bit worried that…

And It’s A Wrap. The Last Day At Work.
Yesterday was definitely the last day of work I had in me. I began the day by pouring milk into my orange juice. Then, my trusty under the belly black belt wouldn’t buckle on that very last hole. The third sign was qualifying for a free coffee on my loyalty card at the work cafe.…

The 2012 Frangelico Masterclass, Mrs Sippy, Double Bay.
Don’t you just love that part of the year that starts from November? The weather’s great and while it’s not quite Christmas, there’s this subliminal message in the balmy evening air that tells you that the time to party is now. It was with this thought firmly in our minds that Mr SSG and I…

Barack, Baby and Books.
The people have spoken in the USA and they have picked the right man to lead them as President. Half a world and several timezones away, I was glued to my radio and the online papers as the results trickled through yesterday. I was without both when the final result was announced but twitter…

Bistro Meme, Gladesville.
Today’s restaurant review sees the SSG’s finally dine at a restaurant whose cuisine does not originate in South East Asia. Perhaps I should qualify that statement. Ever since I’ve been pregnant, I’ve been religiously following the safe eating guidelines set out by the NSW Health Department. ‘The List’ runs to several pages and has a…

Girlfriends, Good Hair, Makeup, Clothes and Food. What Is Not To Like?
It’s one of those sad facts of life that girls’ nights out get fewer and far between the older you get. At first it’s work pressures that make random catch ups difficult to co-ordinate, then it’s significant others, then husbands and then children. Sure, we’ve all got facebook and twitter to keep up with the…
