Do you look at menu planning systems and printables and wonder why can’t I get my act together and menu plan? I’m a pretty organised, logical person, but I just can’t get it together to menu plan. I have a nice, organised shopping list, but the thought of sitting down with the recipes books and […]
Unicorn Free Motion Appliqué
September 15, 2015
My daughter needed some warm winter clothes, and I thought a cute hoodie sweater dress would do the trick. What do you do when it looks more like a pink Jedi robe than a cute dress? Ask your Instagram and Facebook followers what to do, of course. Thankfully, my problem solving social media friends (you […]
Life after Whole30 (It’s OK to fall)
September 10, 2015
I last posted about my Whole30 adventure when I’d reached Day 30. I had more energy than I’ve had in years, my brain fog had cleared and I felt great. That was 3 weeks ago, and it’s time to update you on how I’m going – my life after Whole30! This post contains affiliate links. […]
35+ Fox Craft Ideas
September 8, 2015
A few weekends ago, I had a cold and needed a quick craft project to cheer me up. I pulled out a fox brooch craft kit that came with an old edition of Mollie Makes magazine. I enjoyed this cute little fox craft, that I suddenly found myself searching for more fox craft ideas. There […]
Dyson V6 Absolute Review
September 3, 2015
Back in 2011, I reviewed the Dyson DC35 handheld vacuum cleaner. It was purchased by my husband, and I fell in love with it. When I was asked to review the new and improved Dyson V6 Absolute, I jumped at the chance. I just love a new vacuum! Our home has a combination of hard […]

A blissful afternoon for me is browsing the craft supplies at my local Spotlight (by myself!). I love finding new craft supplies, inspiring me to try a new projects. This week, I had a Spotlight gift voucher to spend and no particular project in mind. Should I try beading or jewellery-making? Maybe it’s time to […]
How to create a morning routine that works!
August 25, 2015
When I was in high school, I had a finely-tuned morning routine. My goal was to sleep as late as possible, but still get to school on time. I’d get out of bed at 8:10am, and be in the classroom door when the siren went at 8:50am (I was lucky have a 10 minute walk […]
How to sew a Mr Men Costume
August 20, 2015
Book Week is a big thing in Australia. Each year, schools and public libraries spend a week celebrating books and Australian authors and illustrators, supported by the Children’s Book Council of Australia. Lots of schools have a dress-up day and parade for the kids. My school hasn’t for the last few years (such a disappointment […]
Sweet Potato and Capsicum Hash
August 18, 2015
It’s Day 30 of my Whole30 challenge (yay!), and it’s time to share my favourite recipes from the month. I’ve mostly stuck with foods I typically eat, but put my creative hat on to add a bit more flavour. I’ve enjoyed the extra challenge to make sure I didn’t feel deprived. For breakfast most days, […]
Pedal for Pink Cycling Jersey
August 14, 2015
My darling husband is a MAMIL (Middle-Aged Man In Lycra). You’ll find him on the streets of Perth most mornings on his bike, in figure-hugging attire. It’s a hard thing to take, but is healthier than spending the evenings at the pub. I’ve learned to live with it! One of his cycling mate’s wife was […]
