I made the fatal error last week of looking at Sydney properties on the 'off chance' that we 'might' like to move in the next 'little' while. We are in a great (smallish) terrace in a great location and home invaders, no parking and parties aside I LOVE living here 90% of the time. Actually, … [Read more...]

One of the first steps away from me and into the big, bad world for our little lady this weekend.A new taste. A new texture.Hardly any dropped. Mouth opened with every spoonful. Gobbled up. Looking (borderline desperate!) for more.That's my girl. … [Read more...]

It's all about the Barbie Dolls around here. And I am not really complaining. I can brush hair and change ensembles like the best of them, in fact, I was THE Barbie player back in my day. Yesterday though it was ALL about the Barbies. My friend and favourite blogger Pink Patent Mary Janes wrote … [Read more...]

Rob has *just* about finished wrapping up the show. They almost have a set on air date (which I will flog to death once confirmed) and the light can be seen at the end of the tunnel. This very, very long tunnel. As in over 3 years ago tunnel. Poor Rob has a bit of post show blues - it has been his … [Read more...]

I was just on the phone trying to book in a treatment at a day spa that I was given before I went on maternity leave before it expires in a few weeks time (I know talk about leaving it to the last minute) when Harper started whinging, loudly at me. I couldn't really hear what the woman was saying to … [Read more...]

If that doesn't brighten your morning, I am not sure what will. Can you almost hear the squeal that goes with this shot? It's high pitched, starts softly and gets louder and louder and ends with a raspberry blown. It is, quite simply, delightful.I am off to get the toe seen to this morning. I am … [Read more...]

Yesterday I was so caught up in the whole intruder in the house incident that I forgot to tell you all about the awesome weekend that we had. Up until the 12am Monday morning thing that is.Friday lunchtime I headed up the coast (with the little ladies) to my Dad's place at the beach for the weekend. … [Read more...]

Not the best start to the week.We had a busy weekend so we were exhausted when we landed into bed last night at 10pm. Daisy woke (OF COURSE) at about 12.15am and I went down to her bedroom as I do and when she eventually fell back asleep I crept back down the hallway to our room. It was when I … [Read more...]

This week has not been my finest I will admit, but there have been a few moments worth remembering. It has been pretty tough on all of us, so bear with me whilst I boast. If I cannot have the sleep, please allow me the boast.I find dinner SUCH a pain in the arse to cook. And I love to cook. I love … [Read more...]

Over the past week I have had the toughest time I have had to date with little Harper. She had her 4 months shots and was MISERABLE and teary and hysterical AND teary and would NOT be put down. I think it's because she has been such a good kid until now that it completely shocked me and I didn't … [Read more...]

March? MARCH? Really? That's how I spent most of yesterday when I realised that February was indeed done for another year and we are now in March. MARCH! While I am happy to see March for many reasons - hello Fijian holiday I am talking to you, and let's not forget autumn! Cooler nights and mornings … [Read more...]

Debrief re: Friday nights concert. I know that you were dying for all the details right? It was all I was hoping for AND some. Getting there was disastrous. Friday night traffic in Sydney can be bad but this was baaaaaaad. It took us 90 mins to get there from my place which is probably under 10kms … [Read more...]

Tonight I am off to see George Michael in concert. I am SO EXCITED. In fact, I have been waiting all my life to see George in concert and tonight? Well tonight I will get to see him in the flesh. And not just in the flesh. In the VIP Freedom section Flesh (so hopefully a little closer).I plan on … [Read more...]

Ever since we moved into our little terrace almost 3 years ago now we knew that we had to tackle the garden. At some stage. And by the term garden, I mean small courtyard filled with a few pots. It's funny how you move into a new place and the things that you couldn't stand and HAD to be fixed … [Read more...]

I have been meaning to do a follow up post for the 2010 Cake Off. The results are in, and are as follows:Beth's Princess Cake 46%Rob's Pool Cake 28%I can't believe you guys are serious about this 25%Total votes a measly 39 (I think many of you were afraid that it would show what your vote would have … [Read more...]

As we make our way through the Disney collection there are a few that I am happy to watch. This week we are on Dumbo. Daisy is LOVING Dumbo. I am tolerating it and enjoying the fact it goes for 1 hour, has no princesses in it, and some nice music in it.But Walt, Walt, enough with the pulling of the … [Read more...]

So. It's Monday. I am unhappy about this fact to say the least. In fact, I have been a down right bitch ever since I realised that the weekend was almost over and I hadn't spent any of it with my husband (which incidentally was Sunday morning) which meant that the rest of what could have been a good … [Read more...]

Or is EVERY photo of my second born a little hilarious?I give you EXHIBIT B for this week (Exhibit A being the Bulgarian weight lifter snap posted earlier this week): Her passport photo taken yesterday. … [Read more...]
