Auckland is a pretty big place. It’s not so much a home town as it is a giant city sprawled out over a bunch of land. But it’s where I’ve always lived, so can’t complain. Specifically I associate myself with East Auckland, growing up and living in a couple of different areas over the course … Read more
I thought about this for a bit, and while there are a few friends I’d love to write about, I’m going to stick with the friend I chose to marry. After having been together for almost 10 years, Rob and I have many stories. Some are boring, some are private, some I love sharing with … Read more
Usually when I’m going out, I’m taking Matthew with me. This involves taking the diaper bag filled with, well, diapers, wipes, food, spare clothes etc etc. As you can imagine, it’s a small suitcase worth But when I don’t have to take Matthew with me, I always, always take my phone.

Playgroup was fun this week. They had a face painter in to do some absolutely amazing works of art on the kids. I’d learnt only the previous week before though that Matthew won’t allow for his face to be painted, and fair enough as well, he’s a bit too young to comprehend what is really … Read more
A bit ago I heard about Ambury Farm Day, which was a free day the council was putting on for families. I thought it would be a fun day out, give Matthew a chance to see some animals up close, but Rob ended up working so Mum decided to come along. In the morning Mum … Read more
My recipes page has been looking a little sad for a while. It was unappealing to look at and in desperate need of a makeover. So I’ve given it one. The problem now is I need to go through and take a bunch of new photos. I often refer back to these recipes but my … Read more
