Digital Parents Sydney Karaoke Blog Meet

11:03PM | June 28, 2011 | 7 comments

Last Saturday a bunch of bloggers descended on Mizuya Japanese Karaoke Restaurant in Sydney to belt out a few bum notes to ballads, stuff our faces with sushi and slurp down Mojitos… in a lady-like fashion of course! It was great to meet so many bloggers I already felt I knew in person as well [...]

Hello BLogger Events Gold Coast Meet PART THREE

02:00PM | June 27, 2011 | 3 comments

Just in case you missed it… PART ONE + PART TWO here! It feels like only yesterday we were all casually lounging about, sipping drinks, talking all things “blogs” and devouring chocolate covered banana lollies by the handful. The Hello Blogger Events Gold Coast trip was so fantastic I want to do it again next [...]

Rainbow within Reach

Aidan is a colourful character and when he’s not being a mr-bossy-cranky-pants like his mumma he’s a lot of fun. He’s not even two yet and he’s morphed into a little boy I hardly recognise. I’ve been stopping a lot lately, pausing to smell his hair as we rock gently in the rocking chair reading [...]

Hello Blogger Events Gold Coast Meet PART TWO

12:50AM | June 24, 2011 | 6 comments

Just incase you missed it… PART ONE After spending most of the afternoon inspecting every inch of our stunning three bedroom apartment at Q1, we got all dressed up and headed down the ultra fast elevator to Hanazono Teppanyaki Restaurant. It has a really great feel to it with large communal tables as well a [...]

Aidan loves to Dance

10:29AM | June 23, 2011 | 11 comments

Mrs Woog’s post about he 5 year old son Jack being denied entry into princess dance classes hit a nerve… Aidan is a boy, he’s not quite 2 years old and he loves trucks, trains and planes. He rushes to the front of the house to watch the garbage truck come by and thankfully we [...]

Brighten My Day Giveaway

04:42PM | June 22, 2011 | 19 comments

Just in case you don’t remember, well over a month ago I was invited to the Benefit Cosmetics Skincare launch party and rocked it hard with Mrs Woog. We drank champagne, Woog did weird things to a cardboard poodle and we oogled the buff, half-naked waiter… good times! We also went home with a few [...]

Hello Blogger Events Gold Coast Meet PART ONE

08:49PM | June 21, 2011 | 8 comments

When I flew into Brisbane last Friday night it was very much like home but a few degrees warmer. Dani dragged her husband out to meet me at the airport and we spent the rest of the evening dying our hair using the new L’Oreal Sublime Mousse box dye and trying to get baby Violet [...]

I must be dreaming

01:14AM | June 18, 2011 | 10 comments

I’m pumped, it’s been an awesome day! Aidan slept really well last night and we had a really nice relaxing day together then Steve came home early from work and I packed my bags to leave… not for good, just for the weekend. Hello Blogger Events is hosting a dinner on the Gold Coast and [...]

My Kelly Moore Libby Camera Bag

01:33AM | June 17, 2011 | 14 comments

Last year I bought invested in a fancy camera, a Nikon D700 and thanks have to be given to a mentor of mine Caspix for helping me to get over myself and my fears. For sitting on the phone with me for hours as I poured my heart out (essentially to a complete stranger) about my fears to commit [...]

Fresh Faced and Focused

11:50AM | June 16, 2011 | 5 comments

I’ve done some culling, reading, hot tub soaking and written a lot of lists. There are things I want to achieve, goals I want to see realised and I’m on my way there. I’ve applied for an online position I’m crossing my fingers I get. I’m writing a few pieces for online and print publications [...]

Too Many Pixels

07:34PM | June 14, 2011 | 13 comments

I’m free falling into words. I’m not even looking at the screen, just letting the words tip-type from my fingertips. My head aches and I feel dehydrated and dizzy. I want to sleep. It’s been awhile since I’ve cried the way did today. Held in by the pressure of disappointment and the possibility of loss. I gripped so tightly [...]

Yo Gabba Gabba at Sydney Opera House

02:08AM | June 13, 2011 | 9 comments

Aidan loves music, I’d go so far as to predict that it will play a major part in his life whether it be personal or professional. My little dude can get down like the best of them, he’s got brilliant rhythm and can belt out a tune, even in key most of the time! So [...]

Guava Hair

08:04PM | June 10, 2011 | 2 comments

It feels like a million years ago that I was sitting in this chair but it was only back in March. I’d been researching hair straightening methods and options for months and I was determined to do something about my unruly locks. The team at Pierre Haddad Sydney, Guava Latino Hair Treatment and Wella decided it [...]

Kid Tough Camera Giveaway

12:01AM | June 8, 2011 | 5 comments

This post is sponsored by Nuffnang and Fisher-Price I love cameras and so does Aidan. He’s constantly trying to get his sticky little hands on mine but no way, it’s too expensive. Fisher-Price was kind enough to send Aidan his very own Kid Tough Camera to try out, we were both excited when it arrived. [...]

Squeaky Clean Fun

This post is sponsored for Nuffnang Australia and VIVA So last week I shared with you the fact that I was letting the team down and not really pulling my weight around the house. Instead of pointing fingers and sulking Steve and I put our heads together and came up with a few solutions to make [...]

Hello Blogger Events, Pocket Bar Sydney

02:59PM | June 4, 2011 | 8 comments

Last night (from what I can remember) went really well. I hosted a Hello Blogger Events meet at Pocket in Darlinghurst, such a cool space with really yummy food and drinks but more on that later. We had a few RSVP’s pull out at the last minute but those who did come were totally fabulous! [...]

Bling Storage

03:19PM | June 3, 2011 | 19 comments

I love accessories. In the past I’d always found it difficult to find nice clothes so I relied on necklaces and cute earrings to “carry” my outfits. Storing them had begun to be a problem, one that my husband was adamant I fixed… pronto. This is my getting dressed up area. The draws are filled [...]

Choo Choo

Before I left with Aidan for Townsville the Hawkesbury Show came to town and I took Aidan by myself. One thing I was really looking forward to was taking Aidan on his first show ride. He LOVED it. He didn’t like getting off. At all! He rode that little train 4 times and each time [...]
