Hot Food, Spicy Stories
In a previous post I mentioned to you that while we were on a family holiday in Noosa, Maureen and Claire, two amazing bloggers who have become my friends, came over to our apartment for dinner, (except that Claire could only stay for a drink as she was double-booked). You would think that seeing there [...]
The other morning I didn’t want Alfie to be late for school (again) so I was rushing him and standing at the front door yelling, ‘Come on, you don’t want to be late, get your bag on your back, let’s go’. But he was stuffing around in the kitchen doing who knows what yelling back [...]
Archie’s given me an anxiety disorder. On Thursday night Carl and I went out and when we came home Archie was out. Arabella told us that he was staying the night at Webb’s. Webb lives five minutes away from Archie’s uni so Archie likes to stay there occasionally and enjoy a bit of a sleep-in [...]

She Knows has listed their favourite Top 10 food bloggers and I was honoured and overwhelmed to be included on their list. I thought I would introduce you to [...]
Here in the Southern Hemisphere we are a long way from that Nation-stopping event, The Super Bowl. But that doesn’t mean we don’t do our bit to join in on all the excitement.

Next week Arabella will start her final year of school. And while she’s whingeing and moaning about what a tough year it will be, I’m buoyed by the fact that with Arabella being in her final year that must mean we only need to survive one more formal. Formals give me a feeling of dread. [...]
Thank you for all your prayers. The Good Lord has looked after me. The last day of Archie’s Gap Year was Sunday, January 15. This is how I manufactured it. Last week Archie went away for a few days. While he was resting/holidaying/partying and spending while definitely not working I, by a stroke of good [...]
When Archie was applying for the course he would like to do the Head of the School told him he wasn’t ready, as he needed to gain some ‘life experience’ before being accepted. Archie asked, ‘What do you mean by life experience?’ And without a breath of hesitation the director replied, ‘Well you need to [...]
There’s been another phone call. It would be so wonderful to be one of those families that don’t get phone calls of this nature but we’re not of that ilk. I was just about to sit down to a lunch of spicy Thai noodles when the phone rang. It was the principal of the local [...]
