A couple of weeks ago, I attended a gathering put on by Kelloggs for some Australian mother bloggers to discuss all things breakfast and cereal related as they concern our day-to-day lives. This gathering – and several since – was to begin and facilitate an ongoing conversation. I enjoyed the experience more than I expected…
Person 1: The radio is freaking me out this week. Person 2: Why? Person 1: They keep playing Sting. Person 2: What song…? Person 1: It’s called ‘Somebody I Used to Know’ Person 2: Um, dude, that’s Gotye. Person 1: Gotye? Person 2: Yes. Person 1: Not Sting? Person 2: No. Person 1: Well, thank…
I don’t think we could’ve picked a more beautiful day to go into the city for our next Malaysia Kitchen experience. Here’s a confession that as a Melburnian I’m rather ashamed to make: I’ve never been to the Docklands before. Driven past, yes. Visited, no. So as we walked by the water to drum up…

These are the only photos I’ve managed to upload of Book Week from when I was in primary school, although there are many others still back at mum’s house. I was proudest most of all of my Dorothy costume from the Wizard of Oz, complete with flashy red shoes (not pictured). From memory, the clown…
I come home to work with an almost gleeful relief on the days Riley has preschool. I can usually tell if I’m feeling a little off or not after I kiss him goodbye and watch him skip off to join the circle of his other friends. If I linger, it’s purely on the chance I…
The last time I had a professional do my makeup was for my author photographs I had done at the beginning of 2008 for the promotional materials I had made up for Surprise! However, they turned out so badly (read: bright and not suited to my skin tone) I converted them to black and white…
… my daughter is quite happy to share her thoughts on the subject! Awww… 🙂
