It happened. I became one of those women overnight. You know the type…perfect makeup at 8am, co-ordinated, expensive looking wardrobes, pristine polished nails, freshly blow dried hair, perfect elocution, wide smiles with whitened teeth, polite children, pin wheel and frittata making experts….dammit, who am I kidding? I may have graduated to ‘school-mum’, but I am…

SCREENING WITH MEANING
“Please click the LIKE button below and be sure to subscribe for this channel.” When my 3 year old dropped this little nasty with a tinge of American twang just in mid conversation, I knew she had watched way too many episodes of upbeat, yippety families unwrapping toys on YouTube. It’s just that I don’t…
DINOSNORE AT THE AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM : A roaring good time
Do you have a child that can ramble off the types of dinosaurs faster than you can Wiki search them? Perhaps you can reel off the lines from the Ben Stiller movie, “Night at the Museum,” like a boss? Or maybe you just love the idea of becoming immersed in the magical walls of sandstone…
SMILE AND SAY, “NINJA TURTLE”
Though the days are (sometimes exceptionally) long, it seems that every lovely, elderly lady at my local supermarket is correct. The years are short, and every few months I get a sudden pang of fear that it’s all happening too quickly, that my babies are gone and that pretty soon they will be fighting over…
Not Kidlo’ing
KIDLOLAND APP REVIEW I was gifted this app subscription to give it a whirl, but opinions are all my very own. Is there anything more satisfying than popping balloons on the iPad? Squishing falling paint drops? Bursting monster balloons with one almighty tap? Well…maybe finding $50 in your old jeans pocket comes close, but finding…
BONZA BARZURA
You know when you find a place that just ‘fits’? …a place where the food ventures slightly east of your comfort zone, the smiles of the staff and patrons are wide and the view is a complete jaw-dropper? Well, my friends; I found it. Today was ‘taste the freedom’ Tuesday; my work day when both…
WHEN A TAKEAWAY CURRY ISN’T ENOUGH : DATE CRATE TO THE RESCUE
*I was gifted the October Date Crate to review, but as always, I write what I think hence all opinions are my own. I totally shaved my legs, because romance is NOT dead in our home. Date night lives on, though it may have changed a little. Those nights of long and lavish restaurant meals…
HEAD TO THE BACK BEACH
Sand. Sand everywhere. Sand in places you don’t even want to know about. I do love Summer; the smell of BBQ’s wafting through the windows, soft serve ice-creams, sunshine sparkling across the ocean, icy cold drinks and people genuinely seem happier. But I hate sand. This Summer, because of a move for my husband’s work,…
TAKE A CAPTAIN COOK AT THIS!
It had been a long week. Kids snotty noses and a slight setback in my daughter’s toilet training meant I was shattered. I was completely over dealing with bodily fluids and I was eyeing off Saturday like a toblerone in diet week. The promise of a whole day out with my husband (you know, the…
TOTALLY MY SCENE
SCENIC WORLD : A UNIQUE VIEW OF THE BLUE My son is mildly obsessed with snow. After a friend at pre-school spoke about a visit to the Blue Mountains during their ‘news time’, he had been at me (and at me!) for the family to head up for a visit. He had been drawing pictures…
