We love everything there is to love about coffee. The smell, the taste, the sheer thought of it gets us excited (yes, we know we don’t get out much). Therefore we are always looking for recipes which include a splash or two (or five) of coffee. We recently tried a few recipes which had three […]

You really can’t go wrong with curried snags for the whole family, especially in Winter. There’s just something so comforting about a curry on a cold night! This is a perfect midweek meal and the kids love it. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever come across anyone who doesn’t love good old fashioned curried […]

Working mama away again…this week I’m in Sydney for Stadium Stomp SCG. It might sound glamorous but event life can be hard work! We have early mornings (like really early) on event day, we can be up and onsite by 3.30am to finish setting up before participants start arriving and this can be after setting […]

Helen mentioned in her blog this week that there is nothing more special than your first pregnancy. We both also agree there is nothing more special than your first year of maternity leave when it’s just you and bub and no other little bambinos snapping at your ankles! You’ve got the time to stare at […]

MAMA LOVES – COLES QUICK OATS  There’s just something so comforting about porridge. You either love the sticky white mush or you hate it. Lucky for me, in my household, the rest of the family share my love of the delicious warm rations and there are no haters here. In fact we love it so […]

Being pregnant with my third (and final!) child has been complete chalk and cheese when compared to being pregnant with my first.

Today someone asked me how far […]

Unless you have English heritage, there’s a good chance you have never heard of, let alone eaten a Yorkshire pudding. The original purpose of the humble Yorkshire puddings back in ‘ye old day’ was to stretch the meat in the main meal further. It was served, covered in gravy as an entree of sorts. This was because, […]

A sunny afternoon, the perfect opportunity to get the kids out of the house and into nature for a breath of fresh air. Hmm..what to do? Local park? A walk down the beach? I know! How about a treasure hunt! A Geocaching treasure hunt! We have always wanted to give Geocaching a try but to […]

In our house, sister rivalry is running rampant at the moment and I fear it’s only the beginning. It is a love hate relationship between the two, they are the best of friends one minute and cold hard enemies the next. I remember it being the same in my household growing up. One minute I was […]

In 2011, six months after having my first child, I joined the Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation. During that time not only did I lose about 10 kilo’s, I learnt a lot about nutrition and healthy eating, knowledge which changed my lifestyle and my views on food forever. I also added a whole heap […]
