Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don’t. – Mary Schmich Fek me Mary! I don’t like where this [...]

There are some days where you just feel that you are the icy pole stick that’s been shoved up the arse of a Paddlepop. Chocolate flavour. I don’t want to sound like a huge whinge-bag (because I am really blessed with family, friends, health and incredible good looks >haha< ) but yesterday was the beginning [...]

On the weekend we took a day trip down to Phillip Island. Along the way we stopped for some road-munchies at the local supermarket. I had a bit of a tummy upset so I grabbed some licorice (need I say anymore??!!??). In the car I snapped open the bag and popped a black stick into dear [...]

The internal texture reminded me somewhat of the divine bougatsza my dear Greek friend taught me how to make. And don’t be afraid of the outside looking almost burnt- it’s caramelly crisp chewiness is divine. Here is a link to the [...]

This afternoon we trolled through the garage (otherwise known as the repository for everything other than the car) looking for a case suitable for Miss 8’s impending camp. Her first camp. I finally found the one I was looking for, a snazzy-surfy one that her big brother had used on his first camp. I was elated. [...]
