How to make Cob Loaf

02:40PM | December 26, 2011 | 4 comments

I never really got into blogging recipes, I cook a lot but I’m generally too busy in the kitchen to stop and show you what’s going on in there and my camera is too bulky and expensive to keep in my tiny little kitchen. Monica came over today and I offered to make lunch, we’d [...]

Christmas Morning

11:45AM | December 25, 2011 | 14 comments

Christmas morning started at 7am. Aidan got a whiteboard/blackboard from Grandma & Grandpa. Santa brought him his first scooter which figured out how to use in five minute. We took the rocking base off his plane that his great grandpa built for him last year, was like a new toy. Then we looked inside our [...]

Merry “Mezza” Christmas

09:00PM | December 24, 2011 | 9 comments

I’ve been wanting to take a family Christmas photo for weeks and it just never happened and I can’t say that the end result of todays’ efforts was what I was going for but it’s close enough. A wireless remote for my Nikon D700 is $400 so I cracked out my Nikon D80 and it’s [...]

Follow Your Bliss

12:01AM | December 19, 2011 | 24 comments

I’ve been preparing for the new year in many different ways. Pausing to be thankful, reflecting on accomplishments, writing lists, clearing out closets, setting goals and putting steps in motion. Being alone for the week, confined to the couch gave me plenty of time to ponder, think and dream… it was good for my soul. [...]

The Wiggles Big Birthday

12:40PM | December 17, 2011 | 6 comments

Last week I got a lovely tweet from @traceytakesphotos offering me two tickets to go and see The Wiggles 20th Birthday Concert in the big tent at the Castle Hill Showgrounds. Tracey won four tickets in a Digital Parents competition and it was so nice of her to share them with us, especially as we’d [...]

V8 Supercars

10:05AM | December 16, 2011 | 9 comments

I never liked car races, they didn’t interest me, I didn’t “get’ them but when the PR company for the V8 Supercars emailed me offering free tickets to the Telstra Sydney 500 I knew someone who did like them, who did “get” car racing so I accepted the tickets and prepared to share the good news [...]

The Best Kind of Present

10:04AM | December 15, 2011 | 6 comments

Sponsored by Nuffnang and Magshop Christmas competition Christmas is next weekend, can you feel it? The surge of shopping trolleys down the aisles, the escalators jam packed with cranky big spenders, the baby change room overflowing with a line up of strollers and kids with sticky fingers from “Just be quiet for one minute” lollypops. [...]

Hummingbirds Song Blocks Giveaway

03:44PM | December 12, 2011 | 28 comments

Cosmic Twins are hard to come by but that is exactly the kind of relationship I have with Rhi from Hummingbirds Song, our relationship is the equivalent of online dating turning into marriage. We courted for years, commenting here and there, sending the odd email and then we started skyping… everyday and it feels weird if we [...]

Get Your Glomesh On

09:00PM | December 10, 2011 | 35 comments

I have a bit of a thing for Glomesh, I don’t know where the love affair started and I wouldn’t say I have a large collection but what I have makes me happy. I find them in my travels at op shops super cheap, if they’re made in Hong Kong or are damaged I don’t [...]

All That Glitters and Shines

12:55PM | December 10, 2011 | 9 comments

I’m a bit meticulous when it comes to my Christmas Tree. Notice how I said “my”, that’s because I own that sucker, I make my tree my shining, glittering bitch. My Christmas Tree obsession started when I was growing up, it always had to be “just so” but when you’re co-decorator with your little sister [...]

The Easiest Christmas Gift

04:47PM | December 8, 2011 | 4 comments

Sponsored by Nuffnang and Magshop Christmas There are a million things I want for christmas but generally they’re small things I’d like to pick out myself or they’re too expensive to expect others to pay for… as you can tell I’m a dream to buy gifts for. Over the years I’ve learnt to keep it [...]

The Art of Being Alone

For the past week Aidan and Steve have been down in Victoria visiting his side of the family and they’re not due back for a few more days. I looked forward to my week of self indulgent alone time and I was so very sure it would be productive and enlightening… oh how wrong was [...]
