the end was just the beginning
I love making muffins. No boring flour sifting, just chuck everything in a bowl, give it all a quick stir and you're done. The flavour combos are endless too. Check out some of my creations. I usually make a batch on the weekend whatever I have on hand and pack one for my eldest's morning... Continue Reading →
Wow, such a huge week, from the sad passing of James Gandolfini to the tragic naming of Kim Kardashian's baby ... read on for all the details ... Sopranos star James Gandolfini sadly passed away at just 51. He was on holiday in Italy with his 13-year-old son, Michael. The manager of the Rome hotel... Continue Reading →
I wanted to kill my husband yesterday, except I thought he was already dead. I woke up at 5.45am to discover he wasn't lying beside me in bed. The last I'd seen him was the night before, when he dashed off to catch a bus at 6.30pm. Some drinks thingy in town. I had no... Continue Reading →
The eldest went to camp yesterday. She told me she needed to be at the school for a 7.40am departure, so I popped upstairs to have a shower at 7.15am and, as I was lathering, I had a panicked thought: "I trusted Miss Vague 2013 to tell me what time the bus was leaving?!?!" That... Continue Reading →
I committed a bit of a social media sin yesterday. I saw an article by John Birmingham popping up all over the place on Facebook and Twitter, so I shared it. Without actually reading it. Gasp. It frustrates me when people do that with iVillage stories. So I can't quite believe I'm guilty of the... Continue Reading →

Geez it's been a busy weekend workwise. Which is a little hairy, since I'm not actually supposed to work weekends, I'm meant to spend quality time with my family. Oooops. But what do you do when Kim Kardashian has her baby (in my Woman's Day days, the above pic would have made an EXCELLENT cover shot), Curtis... Continue Reading →
Well, this week really revolved around Paper Giants for me. Sad, I know, to be so swept up in a TV show. But Woman's Day was my LIFE for 8 years (OK, my marriage and two kids also played a role) ... so it's kinda understandable.Anyway, I kicked off by sharing some "Belated mag love,...

RECIPE: POTATO & LEEK SOUP (with hidden veggies) Olive oil 2 leeks, white parts only, sliced 1.5 litres chicken stock 6... Continue Reading →
So, what did you blink and miss in Hollywood this week. Here's a little taste of my favourite bits. Mmmm ... Drew Barrymore raved about her in-laws to C magazine: "I won the in-laws jackpot. It might be the best karma for having one of the wackiest upbringings. I never had dinner with my mum or dad,... Continue Reading →
