    Friday Drinks #22: Post Easter.  The New Car Park.

    Don’t you love back to back short working weeks? If only all Mondays could start with a bit of a sleep in or failing that a lack of the pressure to be fed, dressed and out the door to beat the dreaded traffic.  If only they could all then progress to casually pulling on some…

    Lovin’ Life 5/4/2018: The Royal Easter Show.

    Today’s post is in praise of Sydney’s Royal Easter Show.  I know it’s easy to be cynical about the cost, the crowds and the commercialisation of the show but our visits so far have always left us coming away with a bit more of an understanding and appreciation of Australia’s agricultural industry and the wonderful…

  • Life This Week 2/4/2018: What Food(s) Do You Dislike?

    It took milliseconds for me to come up with my answer. www.moolollybar.com.au Banana lollies.  I can’t remember if I’ve actually eaten one or just bitten into one and given up in disgust.  Despite their cheery yellowness, I just can’t bring myself to give them a second chance. The funny thing is that I love actual…

    Continental Drift 1/4/2018: On Being Australian.

    Wecome to our Continental Drift linkup! The reason we are  dabbling at a link up was that we thought that there are so many genre of bloggers out there that we could learn from that we decided to gather a knowledge and lifestyle share in one place once a month. On the first of the…

  • This Easter.

    This Easter.

    A certain someone wanted to make doubly sure that none of his Easter chocolate would melt this long weekend.  The Moet is just a distraction.  Let’s focus on the strawberries instead… It’s no secret that I love the Easter long weekend.  The only evidence of blatant hyper-commercialisation of Easter is the fact that hot cross…

    Lovin’ Life 29/3/2018: Easter Break!!!!!!

    The Easter long weekend is so close I can practically taste feel it… A tray (or should that be a jangle) of jingly, red bowed chocolate bunnies have been purchased ready to be given out after the last bell at school today. Grocery shopping armed with brunch from the Woolies sausage sizzle. The Easter feasting…

    Sweater Season.  MINISO’s Ultrasonic Facial Cleansing Brush.

    I don’t know for how long my enthusiasm will last but I was so excited to be wearing (by necessity) a knitted sweater over my gym clothes this week.  It was a chilly (by Sydney standards) 14C Tuesday morning.   Which makes me think that the heat we had over the weekend is possibly on its…

    Life This Week 26/3/2018: Story of My First Name.

    Do you have a Starbucks name?  Something that’s not your real name because no matter what that is, it’s going to get misspelled as attempts are made to hear you say your name repeatedly over the sound of the espresso machine and background chatter of a Starbucks at any given hour of the day.  Bonus…

    Friday Drinks #21: Dig Deep, It’s Easter Break This Time Next Week.

    Cheers to the weekend! It’s been a mixed bag for me and all I can say is that it’s going to be the Easter long weekend this time next week so dig deep, everyone! Following on from my Everlane first impressions post, I can happily confirm that their silk blouses are so comfortable and easy…

    Lovin’ Life 22/3/2018: Bonus Summer’s Days.

    I love that I spent last weekend, the third of autumn 2018 in shorts and Havs.  As much as I’m looking forward to the new season with its promise of crisp mornings, evenings spent snuggling, hearty food and cool weather fashion – I love summer too and am relishing that we’ve been gifted these extra…
