We are now officially into the school holidays and we technically (not including the weekends) have another eight days ahead of us to try and think of ways to entertain the kids on their school break. Personally, I don’t really want to spend too much money so, weather permitting, we will be frequenting our Favourite […]

MAMA LOVES – MISSION ORIGINAL TORTILLA STRIPS!  There’s something so “moreish” about Doritos, CC’s or Tortilla Chips, whatever you like to call them. Once I open the packet I can’t stop at just 10, I’ve just got to consume (inhale) the rest of the packet. If I know they’re in the pantry and especially if […]

I’ve always wanted to make my own hot cross buns but thought they would be much too time consuming to bother, and, let’s face it, what’s the point when you can head to Coles to buy a packet of six for $3.25 (Baker’s delight are charging $7 at the moment, WHAT THE??). Anyway, this Easter […]

A few weeks ago we wrote about our Favourite little parks in Frankston. Well,  we have some more! We are truly spoilt for choice when it comes to great little places to take our children in and around the Frankston area and the newest addition to the neighbourhood is Jubilee Park Playground. JUBILEE PARK  ADDRESS – Corner Hill Street […]

It’s no secret that we love markets here at Mama loves to share. The hustle and bustle, the tummy rumbling smells of gourmet food vans, the love and care that’s put into handmade goods and our admiration for the stall holders that sit there enthusiastically rain, hail or shine (well, maybe not when it’s hailing!). […]

I’m 33 years old and my life, as I know it, is about to be turned upside down. Ok, that’s probably a little dramatic, but things are about to change, and I don’t like it. Not one little bit. But I have to deal with it. It’s time for me to grow up… My retired […]

There are limitless benefits of children exploring their movement. Climbing, crawling, rolling, lifting, throwing, catching, kicking, carrying, running and jumping just to name a few! We all know these active moments are vital for child development – but why? PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT  When children are moving well, everything else in their lives will be moving well. […]

When it comes to a secret family curry recipe, this Mornington Peninsula mum isn’t holding her cards close to her chest. Instead Lauren Scott, mum to two-year-old Hudson and another on the way in June, and wife to Jarrod, is spreading the love. She’s tweaked her grandmother’s delicious Sri Lankan curry powder and is now […]

MAMA LOVES – E.L.F COSMETICS! I am always hesitant when it comes to buying cheap make-up, (although cheaper makeup is probably smack on when it comes to my weekly budget) something about paying $3 for a powder screams cheap and nasty! Well, E.L.F cosmetics are not! (nasty that is because they are cheap!). I follow […]

Donna Hay’s Blueberry, oat and yoghurt muffins tick all the right boxes! They are quick and easy, tick! They taste good, tick! and they make a healthy lunch box treat, tick! The only problem is when I do baking, usually on a Sunday, in particular these muffins, none of them seem to make it to Monday…they’re […]
