I am forever on a mission to try and reduce our grocery bill. I used to be a bit of carefree, just chuck it in the trolley, kind of shopper. I’ll also admit to being a bit of a grocery shopping snob too, and used to do most of my shopping in Waitrose when we lived in the UK. […] Read more…
Last week I was lucky enough to receive my second Liesbster Award from the lovely Lisa at Mummy Manifesto. It made my week being nominated again, so thank you so much Lisa. I think this is such a lovely award in the blogging community as it really shows recognition for each others talents and it’s a fabulous way […] Read more…
Today was one of those days where the weather was just PERFECT! Not too hot and the sky was as blue as the ocean with not a cloud to be seen. You see what I mean……..perfect! Being a school day I was all ready for the usual evening routine, when I got a txt from […] Read more…
When I first said I’d do The Big Swim with just one week to prepare, I knew it would be a challenge! The last time I did a big ocean swim was when I was 16 years old (a loooong time ago). I realise that I may have come across as ‘foolish’ to some of my readers […] Read more…
With just two days to go until I do the BIG SWIM from Palm Beach to Whale Beach (approx 2.5km) I thought I had better do a little practice. I have swum in the ocean pool a couple of times this week (although only about 1- 1.5km at a time) but have yet to actually […] Read more…

Birthday lunch date with my hot hubby A couple of days ago was my birthday. Not a particularly significant birthday but it was still mine – all 24 hours of it (which I even managed to drag out over 48). For those of you who are as interested in my ‘number’ as Miss H is, I am […] Read more…
Four amazing reasons why 2013 is going to be awesome! As I sit here on the eve of one year staring towards the horizon of another, I thought I’d make myself a little list of resolutions for the new year to help keep me on track. As strange as this may sound, I have never […] Read more…
I cannot believe that I am sitting here “rounding up the year”! Where has it gone?? I know the saying goes that the older you get the faster the years fly by – but am I that old already?? 2012 has been our first complete year spent in Sydney and has certainly been action packed. […] Read more…
At lunchtime today I wanted to make a new salad in my lovely thermomix (yes I know, slightly addicted) but the main ingredient, fresh beetroot, was not in my fridge!! So, I popped Miss L into her pram and off we went to Woolie’s to get some. We were just walking along the pavement, having […] Read more…
