The party poopers at work wouldn't let me write about this yesterday, they said there was too much other stuff to cram into the schedule. Sigh! So I'm showing you the adorable pics instead. It's a bit mad and self-indulgent, since the celebrity stuff isn't what floats HouseGoesHome readers' boats. But, as you know, I... Continue Reading →
Making the world’s most expensive granola
Remember how I stayed with my lovely permaculture friends in The Channon recently at their Air BnB cabin? And remember how they'd feed my kids brekkie every morning while I lazed around on the cabin's verandah drinking coffee? Well, one morning they made the most delicious paleo-style granola. I'm normally quite eye-rolly at the mention... Continue Reading →
I want my collagen back
I can remember being very cocky - at age 34 and pre-kids - about being able to wear T-shirts without bras. I had lots and lots of collagen back then, which kept everything pointing in the right direction. I miss all that collagen. I want it back. CollagenĀ is the fibrous protein that gives structure to...

Pants down, hands held, hold on tight …
There have been quite a few revelations over the past week about what ACTUALLY happened in my life a year ago ... when I met DD ... as opposed to what I blogged was happening (see Secret Messages). This might be the strangest. DD and I had been texting each other like crazed, dopamined animals... Continue Reading →

Outgoing personality + anxious mind = me
A couple of people shared an article on my Facebook feed yesterday called "12 struggles of having an outgoing personality but an anxious mind." It kicked off by saying: "Outgoing people with anxious minds - or minds that overthink - tend to feel anxiety the most intensely, often because we don't talk about it. And... Continue Reading →
Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Richie walk into a party …
Not just any party ... the La Mer 50th birthday celebration to be precise. La Mer is a fancy face cream that costs a freaking fortune. The trio take a few selfies together ... Then Kate needs to do a wee, but can't get out of her dress ... Bwhahahahaha ... celebrities, they're just like... Continue Reading →
My fetish returns
I love, love, love shoes. And I'm quite fond of my feet when they're all pedicured and glowing. I think they're one of my best features. You wouldn't know it to look at me because I usually schlep around in a very old pair of rabbit-chewed Converse. But in my day I had quite the... Continue Reading →
Dotty for DD
IĀ discovered the joy of text a year ago. Or, as DD and I describe it, "dotting." We call it dotting because of those little dots you get on your iPhone that let you know someone is writing a reply to your message. We love those dots. The dotting frenzy began when I sent a 6.30am... Continue Reading →
Learning to relax
I've always been rigid as a surfboard about stuff. I'm so uptight, I once had my jaw Botoxed to stop me clenching it. Things have to be done a certain way. Doing something wrong makes me steely. I've never had the slightest idea about how to relax. Facials, massages, shampooing at the hairdresser ... I... Continue Reading →
