My Reviews
NUBO Play Space : Educational fun in Alexandria
*Last Saturday we were given free entry to try out the new NUBO Play Centre. We had silly grins on our faces for the entire duration of our visit; all opinions expressed below are my own as always. Anyone else normally shudder at the thought of a visit to a Play Centre? Screaming,…
Bonjour de Paris
I slipped in to something a little more comfortable, dimmed the lights, lit a candle, poured the wine and waited for my husband to get home from work. The minute he was home, we wrestled the kids and managed to execute bedtime. I headed to the bedroom and slipped into bed…with my laptop and latest…
CROCS, CRABS AND WOLVERINE : What to do at Darling Harbour
Did you know there is an actual zoo at Darling Harbour? Fact. Did you know that you can ride through snow to visit a penguin colony at Darling Harbour? Fact. Did you know that you can actually touch and interact with the the wax statues at Madame Tussauds at Darling Harbour? Fact (…my kids really…
I’M A GENIE IN A BOTTLE, BABY….
It was a tough week in the trenches. The little one had a crackling cough that dragged on all night, yet failed to slow her down during the day. I received enough spluttery, wet coughs directly in my face to ensure I went down with a nice dose of it, too. Exciting plans were postponed…
SPY KID MEETS SHERLOCK HOLMES
Last week I went cross eyed googling school holiday activities in Sydney that didn’t cost the world. And there it was. “Elementary,” you might say. Indeed. The International Exhibition of Sherlock Holmes is currently showing at the Powerhouse Museum, and this ticked so many boxes for me. Firstly, I love the Powerhouse. Though it’s a bit…
DISCOVERING THE MAGIC OF TARONGA WESTERN PLAINS ZOO
“S/he’s looking out my window!” “I can’t reach my water bottle!” “I’ve dropped teddy!” And, of course, the classic… “Are we there yet?” Say what you want about fidget spinners, but they saved my sanity on our recent road trip to Dubbo. Do you know how many renditions of, “We’re goin’ to the zoo…zoo…zoo. How…
FLUSH WITH LAUGHS
(* I was gifted 2 games by Hasbro to review, but this is my blog, my words, my opinion…my terribly lame jokes.) I loved Connect Four growing up. I am pretty certain now as an adult, that as the youngest in my family, I may have actually been allowed to win on most occasions. However,…
SmartBand : Essential for all new parents
Whilst chatting to a breastfeeding Mum recently about how it was all going, I found myself double clutching my breasts in a very public setting. Why is it, that every time I discuss feeding, I cannot keep my own hands off my breasts? Is this normal? However, I digress. Whilst having this conversation, I was…
HAPPY SNAPS : MAKING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR iPHONE CAMERA
“Smile and say twisties!” “Look at daddy’s funny nose; what’s on his nose?” “ANNND….CHHHEEESSSEEEE!” ‘Who can see Mummy’s tiny fairy crown on her head?” “Pleassssssseeee…SMILE. Just smile. Is it soooo hard? Please stand still. Please don’t grab your sister around her neck…please…” Oh the lengths we go to get that shot, heh? Just that…
