Thank you to everyone who entered - our winner is Lisa McKenzie! Congrats Lisa, and I am sure you'll find Cosima perfect on your sensitive skin. Hello there! Have a birthday present, won't you? Celebrating, and all that. Today I'm 33. If I don't look it, then it might have something to … [Read more...]
This is a sponsored post for Moccona I am really, really mourning the loss of my crochet time. On my daily to-do list, it sits there, staring at me hopefully as I scan past it for the thousand other things I’ve got to do. I’ve been filling my nights with work so I can fill my days with … [Read more...]
I can't get enough of quinoa lately - especially since I find it easier to cook and more versatile (and packs more of a nutrient punch) than cous cous. And since I'm trying to choose more wholefoods than processed options, it's lent itself to fritters, patties and burgers so well. I always have a … [Read more...]
Our last day driving was very laid-back. Pepper woke fairly early so she and I went upstairs in our apartment and hung out for a bit while the other two slept. Daybreak is late where we were, so I managed to capture this beautiful sunrise at about 7.30am. I got up when it was still completely dark … [Read more...]
Day one is here. Day two is here. Day three is here. Day four is here. Given we arrived in Dunedin only in time for some room service, a bath and then bed, we decided to leave any sightseeing until the next day. We heard the Otago Peninsula was where the action was at, so we set … [Read more...]
Day one is here. Day two is here. Day three is here. After another unhurried morning at the hotel, we wandered a bit more through Queenstown before deciding to head out to Dunedin, on the east coast. It was raining and a bit chilly when we left and I wondered what sort of scenery was on offer … [Read more...]
Day One is here. Day Two is here. Queenstown is just beautiful. Quaint, narrow streets end seemingly in all directions in majestic mountains. The smell of cosy wood fires are in the air, and shops are tucked in little nooks all over the place. Our third day was meant to be driving to see … [Read more...]
If you are new, here is Day One.So after a restless night going to bed at stupid early (given NZ is three hours ahead of us) and the kids rolling around and getting all up in our grill at 4am, we had all managed to go back to sleep. Feet were in people's nostrils, arms pinned under bodies - we … [Read more...]
Hello and welcome to our adventures in New Zealand! We covered a lot of the South Island in a week, so I plan to show you day-by-day what we did and where we went. The kids were really good in the car the whole week, and we found the drive easy and also easily broken up. There are so many cool spots … [Read more...]
I defy anyone to find a regular guy or gal like you or me who doesn't like an easy meal at night. And if you're feeling particularly Seinfeld-y (which is a regular around here), you might even be into a bit of breakfast for dinner. Or Brinner. (Never Lupper, though. I don't think that caught … [Read more...]
Despite my gut feeling G+ is going to start a Reader-like aspect to their platform, I can see that Bloglovin' is the way most people want to read blogs - and that's fine by me! I still love you, G+! So if you haven't already, and you'd like to, then jump aboard: Follow my blog with … [Read more...]
When I sat myself down for a stern talking-to recently, I asked myself what were the things I wished I had more time to do. Then I set about paring down the bits that were getting in the way of that. Besides squeezing my kids until they yelp, up near the top of the list was taking the time to read … [Read more...]
As much as I love baking, I'm not very good at eating the finished product. I had a violent sweet tooth with both pregnancies that has only abated now, so for a while there I was experimenting with making healthier versions of cookies and muffins, but now I'm swarming straight back to savoury and I … [Read more...]
I just wrote a post and the internet ate it. While I cry, you have this nice picture of a Queenstown panorama. Enjoy. … [Read more...]
This is a sponsored post for Woolworths I have to say, that as a vegetarian, the choice of ready-made meals and grab-and-go prepared items have been pretty thin on the ground for the last few years although it's getting better. While I like making my own items, it is unarguably handy to have … [Read more...]
