When I wrote a blog called "Who Were You In High School" I wasn't expecting it to strike such a chord with everyone from the former geeks to the former goddesses. One of the cool "Duran Duran girls" that I wrote about posted a comment saying: "It’s funny to suppose that other people thought we... Continue Reading →
The stars were too busy partying at Super Bowl to play up yesterday. But that didn't stop Miley Cyrus getting high ...

I got an email from Taronga Zoo last week, informing me that it was offering 40% off admission over the weekend. Wacko! I thought, the Household are so there.

It's a really confronting feature that made tears prick in my eyes. I take my hat off to the author, Mark Whittaker. He's brilliant. The opening paragraph says: "A deeper understanding of infant...

It's been a mite hectic in the Household this week. What with the kids going back to school, me getting a new job and learning how to do a slide gallery on the ivillage.com.au site.
