"That Tracy needed to get her roots done". My Mum gave me this card yesterday and was in HYSTERICS as she gave it to me.Laughing till tears rolled down her cheeks relaying that she bought the card 12 months ago waiting desperately for my birthday a year later. It was worth the wait, I laughed … [Read more...]

There's no question about my love of paint. Especially on my … [Read more...]
Recipe for a road trip
August 15, 2014 by 19 Comments
A sponsored post for Toyota Kluger Given the amount of road trips we went on as kids, the idea and notion of a road trip sits in a warm and special place in my heart. We went on many throughout my childhood – whether it was up to a rented beach house up the coast for a few weeks with the car … [Read more...]
What do you need to get for a baby?
August 14, 2014 by 62 Comments
If there was one reason for me to be a fully fledged "mummy blogger" than THIS is it. As you know, my beloved little sister Lucy is having a baby! Yay! So I get to completely let out any cluckiness I may or may not be feeling on her little bebe that is due at the start of December. She has ALL OF … [Read more...]
Bad hair day solution: Head scarf
August 13, 2014 by 57 Comments
This snap was taken when we were OS and I was having a particularly bad hair day. Our luggage was lost, I was wearing the same clothes for the second or maybe third day in a row and delirium (as you can see) had set in. There was only one thing for it. Two actually: an ugly selfie AND a head … [Read more...]

Solving the big issues: Pancakes V crepes
August 12, 2014 by 59 Comments
A little while ago I put a snap up on Instagram, as I am wont to do, of some pancakes that I had made for Harps and I. It's sad and true that Daisy doesn't like them, and Rob is impartial. I know. So, there was the shot, placed in some good light, just so....OR SO I THOUGHT. It would appear I … [Read more...]
Life at 36, 11 months and 3 weeks
August 11, 2014 by 73 Comments
I wake in the mornings around 6.30 or 7, by Daisy walking in. She still needs to say she is up although she will head out and fend for herself. Some days I wake all by myself, a miracle in itself, and approximately 345 times better than having someone yell at you or for you, the very first thing in … [Read more...]
Monday meal ideas: lunch
August 11, 2014 by 17 Comments
You know what I'm guilty of during the week? Laziness. LUNCH LAZINESS. When I'm home (which I often am Mon-Wed when Harps is at Preschool) I should prepare something quick and wholesome. But I usually make a vegemite sandwich. Not this week! Who is with me to make something tasty and filling that we … [Read more...]
Miscellaneous 52
August 9, 2014 by 26 Comments
Hey guess what? Harper is sick again! The flu that she had, that she passed onto Rob, which flattened him for almost the whole week has made its way back to her again! SO giving. Poor bunny is flat out on the couch today unable to move. Turns out the cold really DOES bother me anyway. Bring on some … [Read more...]
Solving the big issues: wallet management
August 8, 2014 by 55 Comments
After our recent trip away I realised that a wallet cull was needed. STAT. Having taken out all of the annoying cards that fill our wallets on any given day: reward cards, bakery and cafe loyalty cards I was left with one bank card, and a couple of credit cards and that was it. My Elk wallet looked … [Read more...]
How do you do Instagram?
August 7, 2014 by 62 Comments
I love me some Instagram. I do! It replaced twitter for me years ago - I couldn't keep up with twitter, kept dipping my foot in and getting swept away - and instead turned my attention and affection for this visual medium. I love seeing snaps from people's days. I love being able to take a snap of a … [Read more...]
Buying a swimsuit
August 6, 2014 by 66 Comments
My mind has been a million miles away the past few days. The cold weather, sick family members, meetings, work and deadlines will do that to a gal. In my mind it's 29 degrees, the sun is shining, the beer is cold and I haven't a bloody worry in the world. Shall we head there then? Ok, … [Read more...]

BabyMac Book club: Big Little Lies
August 5, 2014 by 135 Comments
You know what I'm sick of? Being a lazy reader! I used to read ALL THE TIME - on the bus on the way to work, at night and now all I seem to do is read when I am on holidays where I devour books at a rapid rate. There is NOTHING better than getting swept up in a good book! For a while now I have … [Read more...]

Monday meal ideas: Soups
August 4, 2014 by 4 Comments
It's been a bloody cold weekend. The only thing for it was lots of home cooked meals and sitting by the fire, under a blanket! Looks like things are still going to stay on the cooler side of things so here are some quick soup recipe ideas for you to make for lunch or dinner this week. Pumpkin … [Read more...]
Making it better: Jam drops
August 1, 2014 by 22 Comments
A sponsored post for Sunbeam Last week we were all a bit sick with a nasty bug that took us out one by one, day by day (except for the day when I was taken down of course a few others fell with me so I couldn’t be completely resting as with most Mums). Once things were on the up and I had … [Read more...]
A New York state of Mind
July 31, 2014 by 44 Comments
Somehow, it seems that it's been two years since Mrs Woog and I travelled to New York for the 2012 Blogher conference. Two years! I remember that trip so well...what a time it was completely dropping out of grown up life and having 2 weeks eating, drinking and shopping our way through that wonderful … [Read more...]
Unlock your style
July 30, 2014 by 41 Comments
Last night I was honoured to be asked to introduce my good friend and work colleague Nikki at the Sydney launch of her first book Unlock your Style. I was NERFOUS! It was about 4 or 5 years ago now that I stumbled across Nikki's blog - I had a toddler and was either preggers or just had a baby … [Read more...]
