As far as I’m concerned, an ideal Saturday morning starts as follows.  I wake up to the sound of silence as opposed to my alarm, toss around in bed for a bit, get to the gym, hit the treadmill and remember to do my core stability and neck exercises before finally wandering off down the road to…

Koala Xanthe. www.wwf.org.au Stay with me on this one. via pinterest Tatler has just released its list of the top posh baby names for 2017 and I just picked the name combination I liked best from it.  You know, for my imaginary daughter.  The one whom I dress in tutus (as long as they’re black or navy…

Breakfasts at our place are pretty monotonous.  Even on the weekends when I’ve got a bit more time on my hands.  The most exciting we get is a walk to our local cafe strip where I order my usual coffee and a pastry while Preschooler SSG gets bacon and a fried egg with toast plus…

You can thank the Cambridges for adding a bit of excitement to what was going to be a post devoted to my weekend day trip to Costco. www.zombio.com It’s official.  Baby number three is on the way for the Duke and Duchess.  Many, many months after the confident headlines on the cover of more than one…

These flowers were the centrepiece of the communal table where I sat for breakfast this morning.  It might be stretching…

Just what the blogosphere needs.  Another post about The Ordinary.   You know that little brand that’s been kind of a big deal in the beauty blogger and influencer world for quite a while now. To recap, The Ordinary is a Canadian skin care brand that’s been breaking the internet with its high-performance range of…

It’s the last day of August today.  It’s also (finally), the last day of winter.  I, for one, will be so glad to see the back of Winter 2017.  It’s been a long one full of illness and long, crazy days at work.  Little things adding up by the end of the three months to…

Mummy bloggers.  It seems such a straight forward term.  To me, it describes bloggers who happen to be mums.  To others, it’s a complex pair of words.  There are many who associate the phrase with women who use motherhood to influence, profit and self-promote.  Which then leads to the various sub categories of mummies who…
