Taking the long way home
The weekends in the lead up to Christmas are mad, let's face it, but sometimes a manic day can end brilliantly and that was the case today. We had to fit in swimming lessons, a brunch with friends as well as shopping for the hubby's work Christmas party (given he was the one coordinating it). …

It's Bathurst weekend! The weekend where we basically plonk ourselves in front of the TV and worship all things motorsport. For those outside of Australia, Bathurst is an annual event car race that brings rev-heads from around the country together to watch V8 Supercars chase each other around a 6-oddkm track for 1000km (or 161 …
Sunshine makes for the best weekends don't you think? And today didn't disappoint. A fabulous start to the weekend catching up with my gals at the park, checking out the farmer's market, continuing with my grey-no-more sessions, cheese toasties for dinner, and finishing up with Miss Congeniality.

And so this we took a little time to chill out this afternoon to spend some time together as a family, even if it was just doing some mundane chores. Are you taking time to enjoy the little things this weekend? How …
