Sponsored by Nuffnang Australia. Quite often an opportunity for Aidan to review a fancy new toy arrives in my inbox and I hover over the reply button, trying to decide whether or not I should. Will it help Aidan learn anything through play? Will it suck up too many batteries? Does he really need it? [...]

Sponsored by Nuffnang Australia The last few months have been manic.

Sponsored by Nuffnang Aidan likes presents just as much as the next kid. You can probably tell from the gigantic grin on his face that he loves big presents more. In our house we have very limited battery operated toys. Working from home I just can’t bear the inane noises and flashing lights from toys [...]

Sponsored by Nuffnang Australia When I was asked if I would like to review an exercise class, I have to be honest, I hesitated but the opportunity to hit things and wear a cute outfit sealed the deal. A high energy, tennis based cardio workout for an hour one afternoon, sure no worries I could [...]

This post is sponsored by Nuffnang Australia I love the silly season, an excuse to spend too much money on dresses and new shoes, indulge in spray tans, facials and drink bubbles with reckless abandon. So you can imagine my delight when Riccadonna sent me a parcel with two bottles of their brand new Italian [...]

For a lot of people Nuffnang’s Blogopolis Conference on July 30th was really short notice, launched only six weeks before the date. A lot of people needed sponsorship to attend or they have purchased tickets/flights/accommodation themselves but stretched the family budget to do so. I watched bloggers cry out on twitter for City Chic to [...]
