The boys got so excited because as we pulled into the museum as there were two giant dinosaurs positioned on the hill. Cries of joy as they sang out ‘We’re here’!! You’d swear we’d been in the car for 10 hours… Continue reading

Canberra – for kids and adults (part 1)
I’m finally putting down words about our trip to Canberra. But as I was writing this post I realised there is just too much information for one post so I’ll break it down into parts. With term 2 school holidays coming up and work being busy in the lead up, we decided to get out of Sydney for a few days and try to have a break. I always say it’s never a holiday with young kids but a change of scenery can do wonders for the soul! Continue reading
Getting the freezer ready for Term 3
Here in NSW we are due back to school on Tuesday for Term 3 (where has the year gone??!). So this weekend I set some time aside to get my bake on for school lunches and also dinners. I highly recommend getting organised the weekend prior to school starting back as this will help you with your sanity during the manic weekdays and weeknights of school term. As I work during the week and don’t get home until near 7pm with the youngest, the last thing I want to do is stand in the kitchen cooking or even think about what we’re going to have.

Banana and raspberry jam bread
I’ve been slack with these posts and I blame a busy school term, work, kids and life in general! As promised here is the recipe for the fabulous banana and raspberry jam bread I made. It was demolished quite quickly. Continue reading
Long weekend – relaxing but not all pretty!
The weekend just gone was a long weekend for New South Wales, Australia as part of the Queen’s birthday. It’s the last one until October (unless you count the Bank Holiday in August that is only a holiday Monday for those in the financial industry). After a busy six months of the year I decided this weekend would be a quiet one – one for just us. Good intentions and all that! Continue reading
Slow cooked pork – oh yeah!!
I’ve cooked many a pork roast but never a slow cooked pork. So after thinking about it, and thinking about it, I decided to give it a go. And oh did my taste sensations and belly thank me for it! Continue reading
Why so blue?
While its a topic that is beginning to be spoken about more publicly, and more through high profile media personalities, baby blues and postpartum depression still have a stigma attached to them. It’s important to note that the baby blues and postpartum depression are different due to the severity of symptoms. Continue reading
