Around the House. Homage To Brynne.
I’m being a bit of a homebody today and pottering around, finding things that need to be done. I’ve addressed the snail situation in the She Shed with a generous dusting of snail pellets. A back log of winter knits got washed and hung out to dry in such a way that minimises them being…

Winter Revisited. More Camilla.
Isn’t it nice to know that even if the sun isn’t shining up above, Australia Post can still be called upon to deliver a little burst of sunny yellow to your doorstep. I must remember to put our Australia Post delivery boy (because he looks around 17) on the Christmas list this year because he…

Talking, Thinking and Typing Away. Getting Through the Shopping List.
Hello Wednesday, so glad to see you!! It’s been one of those weeks where my proudest moment has been to make it to hump day. I’m getting tired more easily these days and have no qualms about finding the quickest path to bed the moment I get home. Things reached a critical point yesterday when I…

A Sundae on A Sunday.
Thank goodness for today’s sun and perfect weather because it was one of those mornings. The kind that took the whole day to recover from. I woke myself up at two in the morning (or was that one?!?) in a dither about daylight saving and whether I’d set the clocks correctly. I had. Then I…

Top Shopping. Oh, and Top Shop.
We got a bit ahead of ourselves with the weather, didn’t we, Sydney? A full working week of hot, sunny days and the weekend starts with grey skies and rain. It seems like such a waste to spend Saturday at home though. So today I made it my mission to make the most of the…

Friday. Fasting.
Happy Friday, everyone! It’s spring, it’s sunny and well it’s the weekend tomorrow. I celebrated all of the above with one of those glam looking cans of Coke Zero, below. They’re the best of both worlds really – the Red Bull silhouette (and maybe even wings) but the Coke Zero taste. Red Bull smells like…

Counting Carbs On the Best Diet Ever.
Once I got past the 3 page list of foods to avoid and subsequently miss like crazy, pregnancy eating has been a joy. A meal of some sort every 3 hours, being ‘forced’ to have cooked to order hot meals whenever I go out and on a more serious note, eating minimally processed whole foods…

It’s Going To Be An Excellent Summer With My Cuisinart 1.5L Ice Cream Maker.
We’re only halfway through spring but as far as I’m concerned, summer is just around the corner. And you know how summer means ice cream? Well, this year, I’m going to be making my own with this Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker gifted to me by my kind and all round fabulous sponsors, Kitchenware Direct. The…

Holiday House Weekends. ‘The Casual Vacancy’ by J.K. Rowling.
It’s been a holiday house kind of long weekend. You know the kind when you drive yourself a few hours out of the city and away from the daily grind to decamp for a few days of blissful nothingness in a place that’s the same but different. Somehow, I managed to attain that feeling of…

The Bump and The Dip. Midnight Recoveries for Casual Vacancies.
Well, my half of the Grand Final weekend is done and dusted. www.news.com.au Congratulations to the Sydney Swans for a nail biting battle that raised my blood pressure and made Baby SSG kick madly for his home town. The Swans have been such a solid team all year and it couldn’t have happened to a…
