It was so lovely to catch up with a couple of great friends last week. I was very spoilt on one of the days by a lovely lunch with a friend I hadn’t seen for well over a year. She is an amazing cook and besides my mum, I think she makes the best Lebanese food I’ve […]
Last week was filled with lots of fun outings and, of course, lots of eating! While the kids were at school camp, I got to spend some romantic days with the love of my life. We enjoyed two days at Austinmer beach, north of Wollongong, New South Wales. We found the best salads for lunch […]
Last week I went shoe shopping for my niece’s wedding! What girl doesn’t love shoe shopping? But for me, it’s a little hard since breaking my ankle a while ago. I can’t wear anything higher than an inch anymore, which is difficult when my niece has honoured me with the task of being her Matron […]
In my last post, I promised that I would start introducing you to some of the interesting people I meet in my day to day life. I treasure old friends, but love meeting new people as well. My kids are always laughing at me (lovingly of course), as I’m forever chatting to random people we […]

Admittedly, it looked quite cute and she thoroughly enjoyed it….. I don’t like making, or should I say, “baking” up excuses, but being the […]

It was my beautiful daughter’s 14th Birthday last week! 14!! Where did all those years go?? I promised I would make her any cake she chose from one of my favourite fancy cake books, “Planet Cake” by Paris Cutler. I was delighted when she chose the giant cupcake, which I thought was quite manageable. It […]
“Out of sight, out of mind” is one of the saddest sayings I know. If you’re trying to watch what you eat and you say it, that’s okay. But when it refers to people, I think it’s sad. I believe when you’re genuinely loved by someone, you shouldn’t have to be in their face for […]
