Lovin’ Life 13/6/2019: Unconventional Sandwiches.
This week, I’m loving unconventional sandwiches. It’s getting colder and darker which for me spells the need for more processed carbs and other things that aren’t terribly good for you. But they do make you feel better after a day spent out and about in the cold and rain. I’m loving the sandwich format because…

Life This Week 10/6/2019: Barangaroo.
Here’s to public holiday Mondays! I’ve woken up to nothing but the birds chirping, the kettle being put on and the occasional chatter of the early morning walkers from behind the back gate. On Sunday, Master SSG and I took advantage of the sun and $2.70 all day public transport. We started off in Walsh…

TLC Framboos. Cabin Fever. Luna Park.
In devastating news for my credit card, Drunk Elephant’s TLC Framboos Glycolic Night Serum ($205 AUD at Mecca Cosmetica) is currently doing wonders for my skin. It’s the (long) weekend so I’ll spare you a lay person’s explanation of the science behind the serum suffice to say it just works for me. I apply it…

Lovin’ Life 6/6/2019: Faith Martin’s DI Hillary Greene.
via Google Images I’ve found myself a new to me crime series! Just in time for winter and its afternoons lying on the sofa under a few blankets with my Kindle. DI Hillary Greene is heroine of a series of murder mystery novels that writer Jacquie Walton wrote under the pseudonym Faith Martin. I’m a…

The Weather, The Bishop and The Metro.
Sydney, winter is here and we’ve officially been advised to wear our brightest clothing today and to minimize our time on the roads. One out of two ain’t bad. I’ve only driven about 3 kilometres this morning – school drop off and then onwards to The Westfield. But I did have to wear my trusty…

A Sentence (Or Two) A Day: May 2019
After all the excitement of April with Easter, my mum and aunties coming to visit and the trip to Boston, I was expecting May to be kind of meh. But there was so much to love about this month. The change in the weather and the congruent change in what I eat and wear, those…

Friday. The 5-4-3-2-1 of Life.
Friday. So glad you’re here. It’s been quite a week. First ever flu shots have been administered and tolerated remarkably well. It’s been go, go and more go at work. So much go, in fact, that I’ve gone through a pad of sticky notes. Considering I often lose pads before getting to the end of…

Lovin’ Life 3Lovin’ Life 30/5/2019: Five (and a bit) Things. The Tiger Catcher’ by Paullina Simons.
There’s twenty-something year reunion photos and then there are twenty-something year reunion photos. My Best Friend’s Wedding was good fun but The Goonies wasn’t just a film, it was eleven year old me’s first foray into the genre of best buddy coming of age films. To this day, The Goonies still reminds me of my…

Life This Week 27/5/2019: Self Care #3.
We’re in the thick of the cold and flu season plus it’s ages until the next long weekend. I don’t know about you but the combination of the two in addition to life’s usual ups and downs is making me feel a bit run down at the moment. My response to Life This Week’s Self…

Lovin’ Life 23/5/2019: Pea and Ham Soup.
There’s no escaping the leaves at my place right now. This autumn might be giving us those epic neon sunsets that make me feel like I’m living on a movie set each time I drive home each night but it has also delivered an abundance of leaves that need to be raked up each weekend. …
