Australia-shaped ANZAC biscuit with Tasmania (just for you Jane)… Last night I whipped up a batch of ANZAC biscuits for tomorrow’s Australia Day. There are 3 left… They’re goo...
Staying in: Colour-your-own Australia puzzle This would work well if you printed the map onto magnetic-backed paper (from craft stores). Then it could be a magnetic puzzle. Double the fun! Aussie Day...
Louis Armstrong Told Us So print, from $16. Would look so awesome huge on a wall I stumbled on the works of Bianca Green while looking for prints of another artist and fell in love. I think you all k...
A number chart stamped with the fruits and colours from The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The little caterpillar is their fingerprints. Hello – I hope you’re feeling better than I am. I’...
Layla’s heart art The other day, I let Layla loose with a bunch of heart stickers (from Knot & Bow). She randomly stuck them on a page in her scrapbook and when she proudly showed me the re...
Ok find of the year might be a big call but I am SO EXCITED about these finally coming to Australia. I was thisclose to getting some from the UK via eBay for Zak for Christmas, but then thought he ha...
Layla’s dream(s) come true: she got to meet Minnie and Micky AND go onstage. Score. Today I managed to survive a 2-hour musical show with a reluctant five-year-old who hates people dressed up a...
Read this issue on your iPad. This house on the cover perfects Australia’s love of indoor/outdoor living. I didn’t get to post on Sunday in the end. I really must stop promising things! B...
I don’t normally post on a Saturday, but we’ll all have to get over this out-of-characterness because I’ll be posting on Sunday too (one week only, folks!). But I didn’t want ...
Melted crayon artwork – I know. It’s hardly original but not everyone is on Pinterest!!! For a while now, I’ve been doing some crafts for Kidspot - Christmas, Easter, kids birthdays...
In the lead-up to the new year, I finally got my act together to go through all all the stuff in this room and sort it – charity, council-clean-up, cupboard. I swapped the shelves and my desk a...
I don’t know about you, but I do love a good bargain. And I’ve found a great place to get ‘em! I discovered Temple & Webster via Twitter when they followed me (God bless you, Tw...
I just know it. I can feel it in my bones, in my heart, in myself. I don’t know why, I just think it will be. Now let’s all cross our fingers and toes that it is because I don’t wan...
I did it! I sewed the kids some stockings. I always SAY I’m going to do something and never seem to get around to doing it. But this time I managed to finally finish all three! I’m a huge...
After selling our Christmas tree at a yard sale when we moved house earlier this year, I just assumed we’d buy another one when Christmas rolled around – preferably a real one. I have a l...
Some gifts under our tree, which I’ll show you tomorrow! I made these last weekend to go atop my gifts – gold leaf gift tags. You usually use a “size” for gold leaf (basically...
I’m suddenly completely head over heels in love with gold. I used to be a silver/stainless steel girl, but now I want everything brass and golden. I’m sure this will change, but for now, ...
Painting sticks. The kids LOVED this. This will be our Christmas tree this year. Aside from stupidly deciding to go Christmas shopping on Saturday with everyone else in Sydney, I spend the weekend cr...
Ahh, life is busy. And crazy. And loud. Even more than normal, if you can believe that. But these past few weeks have seen a few milestones so I thought I’d do a little update post. * This litt...
December 1st has rolled around yet again and that means countdown time! This year, I wanted something easy but fun – and I’m a bit obsessed with paper chains at the moment so I thought I&...
Sorry this is so late… Here we go! Just so you know, I write the date and time of common names on the paper too, in case of name double-ups (of which there was with one winner – sorry Lis...
Possibly my longest post title ever, but I didn’t want to be vague as I can be sometimes. So. Houzz asked me a few weeks back if I wanted to participate in a holiday entertaining challenge: my ...
In love: the Hermes tray in Olivia Palermo’s apartment … that sometimes, when you sort of, kind of, insult a celebrity, you just might be asked to contribute to their website. True story!...
These are all Crocs! I love the pink and yellow sandals at the bottom. Sweeeet Dear mothers of Australia – in case you didn’t know this: kids love Crocs (yes the animal too, but we’...
Anyone know what these flowers are called? I thought they were Star Of Bethlehem as they only bloom around Christmas time. Google doesn’t seem to agree with me though… Anyone?! I shot a p...
Oh look! The $5 rug! I bought this chevron fabric to make a doona cover for Layla. I haven’t made it yet – it’s just lying over her white one. I like to totally cheat for photos ...
I should warn you: the next few posts in coming days will feature stripes! Like this cute little black and white number which cost me a whole $5 from Kmart. I use it mainly in the bathroom but was de...
Slightly cheating with this post – these are from previous years. But hey, some of you are new readers, and some of you might have forgotten they existed. And maybe even some of you will be hap...
How to make perfectly pretty paper snowflakes No point denying it – Christmas is like tomorrow. Well it might as well be, it’ll come that quickly. We already had a mini Christmas here mon...
In my four years at Cosmopolitan mag, I read and wrote “the new black” a lot. A LOT. My boss even titled her first book The New Black. By that stage I was officially over it and looking f...
