Though the eye shadow apparently made some wild tiger stripes according to my 5 year old (NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!), my Bellabox reminded me of the simple joy of some self care.

How to Rekindle the Spark : Date Crate to Your Door
Winter has set in. I’m cold, tired and hungry most nights, and the thought of heading out in to the darkness for some ‘romance’ is just not doing it for me right now. Indeed, my idea of high romance at the moment, is when he thinks to switch my electric blanket on for me or…
The Junior Mighty Little Puppet Show : Puppets With Attitude
School holidays are finally here. Long, lazy mornings and no lunchboxes!! Woohoo!!!!!!! BUT… I have fast learnt that my kids need a bit of structure during their break. Sure, a little relaxation and free time is important, but activities to keep us all from climbing the walls is really important. My kids have long held…
THE RUBY COLLECTION : There’s No Place Like Home…or is there?
With my Ruby Slippers on (or holiday haviannas) we followed the yellow brick road up to our 2 bedroom apartment at The Ruby Collection GC. My son needed courage as we climbed higher in the lifts. My daughter needed brains as she insisted on slapping sticky fingers all over the glistening walls. My husband required a heart-y red wine to relax and I was simply looking for a place to call home for a few days.
Waddle you do on the Gold Coast? Get on board the AQUADUCK
Have I got something to float your boat. Here is a sneak beak at the fabulous Aquaduck mobile that should definitely get your tail feathers shaking with excitement. On our recent trip to the Gold Coast, we cheerfully chose to avoid the big theme parks. Call me a fun stopper, but the kids have no…
EUREKA!!! Why Sovereign Hill Has the Golden Formula
I am the daughter of a dairy farmer and the youngest of 5 kids. Growing up in south west Victoria, we didn’t really go away too much as Dad had to milk the cows morning and night. BUT, we did sneak away for the occasional day trip throughout the ’80’s. One of my favourite childhood…
THE NIGHT *MICHAEL JACKSON TOLD ME I WAS BEAUTIFUL: Legends In Concert (Melbourne)
When the husband and I finally escape the barracks for a date night out to see a show, I am often met with comments like, “It was good,” “fun” and the annoying drab classic, “nice”. But last weekend we were both reeling from the incredible show we went to. He has said it was “awesome,”…
Your Christmas Party “MUST HAVE” Glad Rags! Birdsnest to the Rescue.
Hey chickadees; I am ready to fluff my feathers and crow from the rooftops, because the silly season is upon us! I love it! I love everything about Christmas. It is taking every ounce of my being to hold off on the decorations till December, but I am busting the carols out at full blast…
Happy Holidays : Things to do with the kids in Melbourne
Right now I have a hand ruled and written 2 week calendar on my kitchen bench. I am so old school, but I need a constant visual of my upcoming September Holidays Survival Guide. Yes; I cannot wait to skip the crazy morning rush and relax with my kids, HOWEVER, I do know that I…
Jurassic Creations : Holiday outings in Melbourne
Last Saturday, the husband, Apatosaurus, ditched us to go to the Races. His loss. This left me rolling on a skeleton staff of one parent/two kids, so we stomped on down to the St Kilda Triangle to visit the incredible prehistoric world of Jurassic Creatures. This was a gifted entry for myself and the kids…
