It is the most SPECTACULAR day in Sydney today and I have just driven in, over the harbour bridge, to see the preview of the BRILLIANT Blue Man Group. It is the first time they are touring Australia and I jumped at the chance to go and see them. Mr D and I saw them in […] Read more…
Image credit I know this may sound a little mad to some, but I like ironing. I find it quite therapeutic and it’s probably one of the few times I can watch some trashy show on TV without feeling guilty. My first memory of ironing (and yes, I realise that sounds very sad!!) is when […] Read more…
Have you ever had that really annoying moment when you’ve just fallen into a deep sleep and you hear your baby start to cry (in the middle of the night – it’s always the middle of the night)? You drag yourself out of bed, trip over a couple of toys, stand on a piece of Lego and […] Read more…

I took the girls with me and Miss H was so excited about getting up earlier than dad to get the bus to the Palace! We actually just had to enter the Botanical Gardens […] Read more…
A few weeks ago Nuffnang Australia were running a competition to win tickets to the preview of the THE CROODS. The lastest animation from DreamWorks. All you had to do was either tweet or instagram a photo or statement of ‘the wildest thing either you or your kids have done’. The very first thing I thought of […] Read more…
Have you ever been concerned about the amount of radiation your body is absorbing from your mobile phone?? Or worse still…… how much your kids may be absorbing?? I have to admit it has crossed my mind, but as I don’t think I could survive without my phone, it hasn’t concerned me enough to want to give up […] Read more…
As a mum I’m always doing my best to keep up with the latest kiddie trends, so that I’m up to scratch with what’s going on in ‘their’ world! I sometimes have to work that tiny bit harder with Master J as I’m pretty useless when it comes to a lot of “boy stuff”! I […] Read more…
