I’m aboard the Discovery Princess Cruise Ship, gliding through the icy waters of Alaska’s Inside Passage, and I’m trying to decide between oatmeal raisin pancakes, vanilla waffles, an Asian congee, or a hot breakfast with the works including “biscuits” (like a savoury scone) and gravy.  These are just a few of the vast array of breakfast options at the World Fresh Marketplace buffet, which is my first port of call on this leisurely sea day itinerary. After perusing the buffet for some time, I opt for scrambled eggs with freshly baked bread, washed down with a tropical fruit smoothie. Ch ..read more

Indigenous art walking tours Brisbane

Brisbane is an Olympic-dreaming city with an ancient past. Long before high-rise buildings dotted the city skyline or chic alfresco cafes spilled over the banks of the Brisbane River, the Indigenous Turrbal and Yuggera people inhabited the land and developed a fascinating artistic, musical and cultural heritage that endures today. Australia’s Indigenous population are recognised as having the oldest ongoing tradition of art in the world, and in Meanjin (Brisbane), there’s plenty of new talent keeping this custom alive. But it’s not all to be found within the four walls of a gallery. Instead, a ..read more

Over the years, I’ve done various kinds of magical project with the kids. From setting up play scenes in an underbed storage container, makeing paddle pop stick doors to stick on trees, adding a miniature tyre rope swing for toys to a tree, setting up a little fairy scene using a fairy door, shells and stones, and making a twig ladder. Since my kids were in primary school (quite a long time ago now!) there has been an explosion of cool items you can create a fairy garden outside for the kids. They are so sweet, and it’s the sort of project where you can start small and just add to them as ..read more

I’ve talked about this before, that now my kids are older (teens and young adults), I’m focusing on more meals where people can make their own dinner with options how they like. This super easy chicken meal is along the same lines. It’s essentially shredded chicken that I cook in the slow cooker, and it can be used for a variety of meal options: rice bowl, wraps, tacos, jacket potato, sliders etc. It’s only 3 ingredients and two of them are pantry ingredients. Ingredients Chicken breast (The amount doesn’t need to be exact, I always just buy a bigger packet because I have a lot of mouths to f ..read more

My name is Sharron and I’d like to share my passion for buying and selling second hand and new items online. For me, it’s like having an online antique/speciality shop, where I am able to find items that people often have hunted high and low for and connect them to new happy owners. I am also sought out as an agent for finding hard-to-find things for people with specialised requests, because I know where to look. Now we have the capacity to do trading online, it really has opened up this avenue, so items aren’t just limited to chance and location and if you are lucky enough to pop into a secon ..read more

Most Beautiful Rainbow Cake

Once you’ve tried to make a fancy cake for your child’s birthday, you realise it’s SO MUCH HARDER than it looks. I tend to look for Inso in the Woman’s Weekly Birthday Cake Book (affil) or on the web. I always said to my kids when they were little that I was so happy to make them a birthday cake, but they had to pick a cake within my (limited) capabilities. Now my kids are older, I don’t typically make their cakes anymore. Either they make them (because they enjoy it) or I just order something. I can tell you, ordering a cake is A LOT less stressful – ha! I found this most beautiful rainbow ca ..read more

We are such fans of Lego at our place. If your family is Lego-mad too, I have some handy Lego Storage ideas here. I love Lego for the kids AND adults, and have some info about the Super Mario set, Ship in a Bottle, beautiful range of Lego Flower Arrangements, Lego Disney Castle, and Lego Friends sets. The other day, this Vintage Italian Vespa caught my eye and I thought it absolutely gorgeous! You can see in the image further below, it’s quite large, so would make a nice feature piece. I love the little extra details, like the flowers and the helmet. It’s pretty expensive, and you can check it ..read more

Over the past couple of years, I’ve been trying different dry shampoos to find one that I like. I really, REALLY like dry shampoo. My hair is oily, so I need to use dry shampoo between washes to take out that greasy look from the top of my head. I’m also a brunette, so I tend to look for brunette versions of dry shampoo, but I find if the dry shampoo is good, it will integrate into the hair well, regardless if there is a b ..read more
