The day I always dreaded has finally arrived… My son walked into the lounge and I called “Hello my little Autobot!” as I always do. He quietly slinked up, looked at me somewhat guiltily with his eyes tilted down and said “Mummy I have something to tell you.” “Ok?” I questions curiously. He paused, then … Continue reading

Typhoon season has finally hit Hong Kong and I’m probably one of the few crazy people here who gets excited by the prospect of one of these storms blowing in close. Rammasun was our first close typhoon, although not quite close enough to shut the city down. Out and about, a deluge of rain bucketed … Continue reading
After our atrocious Shrekfast experience we ended up (at the suggestion of the Shrekfest MC) at Paradise Garden, inside the Holiday Inn, part of the Sands Casino Complex on Cotai Strip in Macau. We arrived at the garden in an attempt to get a photo of Mitchell with a Madagascar penguin. If we had known this … Continue reading
Mitchell wanted a Transformers birthday cake and had a very specific design in mind. A 3D yellow Camaro – ie Bumblebee. Aieeee-Yah! I thought as I milled over how to make it a reality. I’m a 2D kinda gal. I like my cakes in 2D and my cartoons in 2D but one does what one … Continue reading

Who’d’ve thought the kids returning to school could lead to such a wave of busy in our family. So much for those who say mums sit at home and do nothing but watch TV – I WISH! So the kids are back at school and loving it. They love their new teachers, and Bethany FINALLY … Continue reading
I’m a bad parent. That’s how I feel when I take Mitchell out exploring. Why you ask? I feel I have let my children down and denied them the simple pleasures of getting down and dirty in the outdoor world. They’ve never truly bush-bashed, been knee deep in mud, tromped through a gently flowing creek … Continue reading
Last year in Tahoe we had a real challenge – Mitchell just wasn’t interested in skiing. Maybe he wasn’t mature enough, maybe we expected him to be too much like his sister … or maybe he just hates skiing. There were all things we considered but we wanted to give him another opportunity. This year … Continue reading
