This post is sponsored by Singin’ in the Rain and Nuffnang. Cue excitement. Cue screams. Yes, I really did scream when I was asked to review the Australian production of the musical Singin’ in the Rain. Last Friday, the hubster and I headed ...
The kindness of strangers – part two
Two and a half years ago, I took the kids into the city to see the Myer Christmas windows. They were excited. Well, my then three-year-old daughter was - at eight months old, my son didn't really care about our destination. He was just happy to be ...
Neologism
Neologism. I love that word. What does it mean? I'll let the Macquarie Dictionary take it from here: neologism noun 1. a new word or phrase. 2. the introduction or use of new words, or new senses of words. 3. a new doctrine. So why am I talking ...
How to fake being stylish with Instagram (and never have to decide what to wear again!)
Don't let this post title fool you. I'm still not a fashion and beauty blogger. And I never will be. But I like to look nice. And I'm on Instagram. And I've found the two things are mutually beneficial. I've found that I can almost pretend to be ...

Maltesers Teasers vs Cadbury Mint Twirl – the choc-off
I quit chocolate last year. For a year. And HOORAY FOR ME!, because it was hard. I've reintroduced chocolate to my life, and I've done it just in time. Just in time to welcome two very new, but very dear friends to my life. Meet Teasers and ...
