Farewell to New York City (NYC)! My last article about my all-too-brief trip to NYC will be on food…specifically breakfast! I love breakfasts and brunches out. So our farewell to NYC brunch was something I had to write about. I’m not one of those “ladies who lunch”. I’m more of a...

I think most of us who have visited New York City (NYC) may have done the iconic Brooklyn Bridge walk. We even made the kids do it with us one time (we weren’t too popular that day). It was similar to the day we made them walk across another iconic bridge, the...

When your 9 year old (who is now 10) says to you, “Mummy, they know you so well here, they bring you your coffee without you ordering it!”, you know it’s your local, your hang-out, your place. Over a year ago, my one friend, the delightful Mrs H, introduced me...

The family and I relocated to the UK nearly two years ago, after a seven-year stint in Singapore. We’re here now, nearly permanently, if there’s such a thing. From the 24-hour city lights of London, NYC and Singapore to deepest darkest suburbia (DDS)… OMG, what have we done?! I...

I forgot to breathe in October… something about being away all summer, then literally just playing catch up all September and October. No breathing, just drowning, racing, gasping for...
When you run out of things to say to someone, the inevitable question is always, “so where are you headed for the summer holidays?”. However, I swear, if I...
Many years ago, whilst living in London, footloose and fancy free without kids (we call those times BC, i.e. “Before Children”), the Man and I discovered this little hidden...
Aussie expats seem to move in small circles. I feel like wherever I’ve lived (I mean outside of Australia of course), I seem to gravitate towards fellow Australians, and...
