Lunch Boxes

05:25PM | January 4, 2013 | 12 comments

You think you have it all sorted, you have a plan and everything will just pan out as it should, but it doesn’t and you’re left standing in the lunchbox aisle pulling your hair out. That was me at 8:45pm last night, in BigW clutching the giftcard that Mum & Dad gave us for Christmas, [...]

Thomas Steam ‘n Speed

06:00AM | December 13, 2012 | 51 comments

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 & Baskin-Robbins My sister Stephanie is going to be staying with us for a few months until Uni starts back up again in the new year. It’s nice having her around and not just for a week, we’ll really get to hang out and just be, together. Let it be said though, [...]

Earlier this week Chobani sent us a great big crate of yogurt awesomeness, this stuff is crazy good. They sent us a package around this time last year and Aidan was thrilled with it so I was keen to see what was in this one as they’re always a surprise. In case you’re wondering Chobani [...]

Smoothie Cubes

I am not a morning person. For me to function even in the slightest way, the morning needs to be an easy time of day. Aidan’s even learnt that he has to wake me up nicely and gently or the day goes downhill swiftly. So the idea of peeling and chopping fruits and vegetables as [...]

Chilli For Whimps

I posted this photo on facebook tonight, sharing what I’d made for dinner and I was instantly asked to share the recipe… so here I am. You wont be blown away though, it’s pretty simple and yes, it involves a packet mix because I’m lazy and enjoy consistency. CHILLI MIX: 1x Chilli Con Carne Spice [...]

The Art of Interviewing Children

08:33AM | June 12, 2012 | 18 comments

A few years ago I bit the bullet and invested in a big, expensive, fancy pants camera and I felt I could finally call myself a photographer. You and I both know that just because you have the gear, it doesn’t automatically mean you’re a professional but there is nothing to stop you from trying [...]

Funky Pajamas

Aidan has been in the nude all summer, especially at bedtime so with winter around the corner we headed to the shops to find some funky new PJs. As soon as Aidan saw these brightly coloured dinosaur flannelette PJs at Target he jumped up and down like he’d won the lottery, it was so cute [...]

The Wiggles Big Birthday

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 [...]
