It’s hammer time!

May 17, 2012

It was my good friend S birthday recently. We wanted to have a very special birthday lunch for her and headed out for a Turkish feast at Antalya Turkish Restaurant on Sydney Rd, Coburg. I was a little worried about how the girls would cope, but thankfully it wasn’t too busy so they were able [...]

The lovely Lee and Erin at Rascal Rumps sent me some Dryer Balls to test out in our new tumble drier. The drier we got runs on a sensor system so it automatically stops when the clothes are dry (rather awesome), being that it was brand new I ran it for a fortnight without the [...]

I was lucky enough to attend the Bloggers BBQ run by Kids Business today with both my girls and my husband. The morning started off with squeals of terror from my girls as we approached ‘Frog Prince Tower’ which is apparently a very very evil building.

Logical Technology – just don’t buy online

February 20, 2012

We are lovers of technology in our house, we are also lovers of things that make using technology easier. Little extension cords for USB ports that are badly placed in the back of the computer tower.
