I went to a parent information evening the other night at school and one of the parents asked if the kids (who are in Year 4) will be learning sex eduction this year. The teacher responded that sex eduction is not taught until Year 6. I left feeling a little confused by this. Is teaching puberty and sex in Year […] Read more…
I had hoped to do one of these taking stock posts every month this year, but sadly I’ve already missed January. In my mind January is a bit of a right off anyway because the kids are on school holidays for most the month, which means I have pretty much no time to myself. So I’m going […] Read more…
I was having a cup of tea and a biscuit the other day with my neighbour and I discovered that she has never ever made her own chocolate chip cookies. She didn’t believe me when I told her how simple they were, so I decided to blog my recipe just to prove it. I make these cookies […] Read more…
I don’t normally make a habit of writing about underwear, and I am certainly no fashion blogger, but there is always room for something a little different. A couple of months ago, I did some work for a company called Bella Bodies Shapewear, on their social media accounts facebook and instagram. The more I had to write […] Read more…

This recipe is originally from Nigella, so you know it’s going to be a good one right. I saw it here the other day when I was reading the Daily Mail online (yes, I still read the British papers). It looked too good not to try, especially as my family are HUGE mac and cheese […] Read more…
I make these no bake granola bars as much for me as I do for the kids. I often pop one or two in a little zip lock bag in my handbag for me to eat when I’m out and about. They’re nice and healthy and stop me from buying something to snack on when […] Read more…
Happy New Year! My first post this year is going to be a review and it’s a pretty awesome one too. Well, the according to the kids anyway. It’s no secret that we’re HUGE fans of ByK kids bikes, and this mountain bike is no exception. We took it camping with us over Christmas and Josh […] Read more…
I really enjoyed writing my 2014 year review last December, so I’m doing it again this year. It’s actually quite tricky to try and remember all things that have happened over the year, but really satisfying and heart warming once you do. It’s been a good excuse to spend the last couple of evenings scrolling though all the […] Read more…
I’ve been a bit slack with the Christmas baking this year. Time seems to be flying past me at a rate of knots and with the unusually hot Sydney weather we’ve been having, the kitchen is the last place I’ve wanted to be. However we did have friends around last weekend and I thought that […] Read more…
