I have my Santa hat on again today, so I’ll get started right away. We were all excited to get our hands on the ASUS Memo Pad – particularly Adam, as he’s been talking of swapping to an Android device for some time. I’d never used one before, I’m an iOS girl, and was curious…

As part of their promotional campaign they released results from recent survey findings that were quirky enough to land spots on morning television to be discussed at length. Basically, 68% of parents like to play…
It’s no secret that I love coffee, or that I am (in)famous among family members for being a classic Melburnian coffee snob. However, on that count, in my adopted home city, let it be known that I have zero problem with the label. And today I’m giving five lucky readers a chance to be fully…
This is a Mother’s Day re-cap post, of sorts. However, there’s something really cool on offer at the bottom, so it’s even better for you. First, to yesterday.
