Winter is coming and as the skies darken I’m drawn more and more to hearty meals that can be eaten from bowls whilst curled up on the sofa. Gone are the days of salads and spring cakes – it’s time now for warm braises, stews, soups and sticky puddings.
Yesterday, I ran the SMH half-marathon. Today, I can barely walk up stairs. Was it worth it? Yes. I got a medal. And a banana. And the freedom to eat whatever the heck I wanted for breakfast. But the best thing? I crossed the finish line. It was hard and I wanted to give up. {Read More…}
I love to craft and lately I’ve been so happy to have some time in front of my sewing machine. I’ve been waiting for this article to be published for ages – I completed it more than a month ago, right before our little family was hit with the worst gastro/flu combo we’ve ever experienced. {Read More…}
This has to be one of my favourite articles to research and write for SheKnows – an Australian based online women’s magazine I regularly contribute to. Becoming a surrogate – especially in Australia – is such an interesting topic and the women who travel down that unknown path are, in my opinion, very brave angels. {Read More…}

A few weeks ago I had a girls lunch at Fratelli Fresh in Sydney. It was a bit of a big deal for me – a bit of a ‘country girl goes to the city’ type of thing. While the city is only a measly hour (ish) from my house it’s AN HOUR FROM MY {Read More…}
Grapefruit and ginger teacake: “When I spoke with Gran about this recipe her face would just light up.” My kind of cake. Getting tired of Facebook updates? Poor Nick. “No! These are just ads! What?!” And this is why the internet is full of ads: according to a new report from the Interactive Advertising {Read More…}
As I was cleaning the house today I realised my husband is, perhaps, a little too waterwise. I’m not about to go into details but I thought a handy little reminder might be in order. So here ’tis. I used fonts from the Lost Type Co-op for this one – Lavenderia and Cubano to be {Read More…}
Before I had Henry, mornings were sacred. Since I was the morning person in our house I was always up first, when things were nice and quiet. I’d make a cup of tea, settle into the sofa with a bowl of something tasty and watch the morning news before I got ready for work. It {Read More…}
1. I’m gutted to have missed the Q&A episode with Germaine Greer, Mia Freedman and Brooke Magnanti but I have to say I’m backing Mia on this one. Would you want your child to grow up to be a sex worker? Is there anything wrong with saying you’d prefer a different future for them? 2. {Read More…}
By the year 2013, forecasts predict that there will be 1.7 billion mobile internet users. In fact, in 2012 mobile traffic made up 10% of all internet use the world over. More and more consumers are browsing the web from their mobile devises, yet up to 90% of all websites are not mobile friendly. If {Read More…}
About two years into our relationship I found out my husband liked to spell a lot as one word. It was kind of a big deal. I could turn a blind eye to the occasional confusing of you’re and your (it was a challenge, but it was doable), but the whole {Read More…}
