Hello! Its been a while, no? Here at Chez Boredom Abounds we welcomed a baby girl into our lives on the 13th April and things have been a blur of sleeplessness, breastfeeding, nappy changes, more sle...
Im still a bit snowed under with the adjustment of having a newborn baby - who is already ONE MONTH OLD - but Im really, really hoping to get back into regular blogging soon. For now, enjoy thi...
If you live in Australia, youve no doubt seen this ad for the Australian version of that TV show The Voice. I personally couldnt care less about singing competition reality TV shows, but that song de...
So, ever since I first attempted these strawberry macarons Ive wanted to have another go because they worked so well. But I wanted something with a little bit more flavour, so I found this recipe on ...
Its a dreary Easter Monday and Im feeling tired. So todays Melody is a nice, slow song. Its actually lovely and romantic and bittersweet, and maybe a little bit sad, but I just love it. The strings i...
Hope youre enjoying the start of the four day weekend! And props to Mother Nature for making the weather gorgeous today in Melbourne. Unexpected, but greatly appreciated. If you do happen to be worki...
I really didnt enjoy much about this episode, to be honest. I think there was too much going on and certain story lines really needed to have their own episode. But lets have a look in closer detail,...
Title: The Night Circus Author: Erin Morgenstern Year of publication: 2011 Publisher: Harvill Secker London Page extent: 387 Set in the late 1800s and early 1900s, we meet a young girl named C...
I cannot even believe this is what Im posting for my Monday Morning Melody. Its just that whenever I hear Carly Rae Jepsens Call Me Maybe on the radio, I cannot. Get. It. Out. Of. My. Head. Listen to...
I thought time would go a bit slower now that Im on maternity leave, but Ive been so busy that the weeks are flying by. My due date is now two weeks away and Im trying to do a lot of things I know I ...
I have been wanting to try baking macarons for aaaages, mostly because of all the ones Ive tried from shops have been nice, but too sweet to enjoy completely. So I found this recipe on Taste and deci...
I heard Xavier Rudds Follow The Sun a few weeks ago and forgot about it. Then I heard it again last week and remembered how lovely it is. The melody is nice, but theres something about his voice and ...
So its Winter now? Or is it? Melbourne clearly has no idea, because the weather this week has been all over the shop. I kind of love it. Except when Ive just hung washing out and it suddenly starts P...
Ive been busy lately. Busier than Ive ever been in my life, I think. Which is why for the past few months this blog has been a bit patchy with entries. One of the things Ive been busy with is patchwo...
A couple of months ago I was randomly browsing a jewellery sale on ozsale.com.au and these three items grabbed my attention. The earrings are cute for casual outfits, and the necklace is just somethi...
Ive heard this a few times in the past week and only found out yesterday that Ms. Ferguson is a UK X Factor contestant. She has a gorgeously bluesy voice, so this track is really worth a listen. Love...
My cold has finally, finally started to go away, thank goodness. Kleenex should make me a key stakeholder with the amount of money Ive spent on bloody tissues this past ten days. Anyway, lets move on...
One thing I love about Glees seasonal episodes is that they really commit to the theme - the sets, the costumes, I love it. This episode was okay in my book. A few mediocre moments, but mostly enjoya...
Jason Mraz has a new song out. It is lovely. Theres not really much else to say (except that I think he should cut his hair). He just writes really, really lovely songs. You can see him sing it live ...
I am in the throws of the head cold will NOT GO AWAY. Day five, people. Day FIVE. So anyway, lets look at some links to distract ourselves from the mucus fest that is my life right now. Sorry - that ...
So, so behind with Glee. Ive been watching, but just havent had the time to update my blog. So tragic. But the upside to this is that you get a bumper highlights post! So lets get started, shall we? ...
Well. After lacklustre fashion at the Golden Globes, I am quite pleased with the range of colour and style on the red carpet. Which is obviously why they have the Oscars: to please me, of course. So....
This is probably my all time favourite song from the sixties. Its everything great about girl groups, about young love and about meeting the man of your dreams. Blogging will resume as normal this we...
Blah. I was really sick this past week and have barely been online. The plus side is that I happened to watch a bit of Rage on Saturday morning, something I rarely do, and I saw this song from Snow P...
Gratuitous food post! I turned 30 on Sunday. Big things are happening here at Chez Boredom Abounds, but for now, please enjoy a picture of the delicious cupcakes we had for my birthday cake. These ar...
So I totally missed last weeks Fun Friday Links. Sorry! Things have been manic, and I just did not have time to compile them, but here we are again at another Monday morning, so lets start our week w...
Being ridiculously busy for past three weeks means I spent Saturday afternoon catching up on Glee. Here are my many thoughts on the episodes I Kissed a Girl, Hold on to Sixteen and Extraordinary Merr...
This is a really quick post about food. Specifically, the best meal I had while we were on holidays last week. Salt and pepper squid with a lime and maple dressing on a rocket, cabbage and capsicum s...
Ive been away for a week of R n R with the lovely Boredom Abounds Husband and we had a marvelous time doing not much at all, but now its back to real life and posting will resume as normal this week!...
Were off for a week of relaxation soon and I cannot wait. Whatever your doing for your weekend, I hope that today goes quickly for you and that these two videos make your Friday just a little bit bet...
