Last week Techie Mum nominated me for a Liebster Award. I was really flattered, so thank you very much. I just love writing my blog and it’s so rewarding to know that there are lots of you out there that read it. I have to admit I had never heard of the Liebster Award before and had […] Read more…
Last week I had the most interesting of experiences at the doctors. I had been feeling below par for a few days but unfortunately there is no such thing as a ‘sick’ day for Nanny Mummy. By mid week I had a headache that felt like a someone was sitting right on top of my […] Read more…
This morning we visited the most gorgeous town called “Tea Gardens”. I think the term ‘town’ is debatable as it was more like a little village in my opinion – blink and you’ll almost miss it. It’s a quaint little seaside town just on the other side of (a very pretty) bridge from Hawkes Nest. […] Read more…
Almost ready to go… It’s the second week of the school holidays and Mr D has the week off, so what better to do than a mini road trip. I found a great deal on Scoopon (http://www.scoopon.com.au) for a little apartment right opposite the beach in a place called Hawkes Nest. It’s two and a […] Read more…
I popped into the mall yesterday and was quite shocked to find a FULL Christmas display up in one of the department stores already – It’s not even October yet!!

I’m not sure I’ll ever be totally at ease with Aussie wildlife, but just when I think I’m doing ok, something new happens that just tips me over the edge again. When we first arrived here just over 18 months ago I was like a walking jack-in-a-box. I was permanently on edge and jumped out […] Read more…
All about me Hi, I’m Robyn! Welcome to my blog, Mrs D plus 3. I got my nickname Mrs D or Mrs Diamonds from my surname, de Beer. I’m often asked if I’m related to the ‘real de Beer diamond’ family, but sadly I am not! I’ll keep the name though. So, about me!! I […] Read more…
It’s Tuesday morning and I’m woken up yet again at 5:30am by the raw screaming of the wild Aussie cockatoo’s that sit outside our bedroom window. It’s such a loud, distinctive scream that it would win any award for the worst alarm clock. It’s also absolutely bucketing down with rain, and as I peer out […] Read more…
