the end was just the beginning
You know how I delivered that holier than thou blog last week about it being time to stop making the poor-separated-me excuses and take control of my life, clean up my act, all that jazz. Well that was total shite. I don't have time to clean up my act. I'm too bloody busy. I got... Continue Reading →
So, there’s this thing called the Met Ball ... it’s organised each year by Vogue magazine as a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Tickets cost $25,000 big ones and MASSES of celebs go. Hosted by Anna Wintour, Taylor Swift, Idris Elba and Jonathan Ive of Apple, this year's theme was... Continue Reading →
My modem/router/whatever-you-call-it carked it on Friday. I didn't know it was the modem/router/whatever that had carked it at the time. I just knew my wi-fi WASN'T working. I'd let the youngest walk home by herself for the first time on the strict condition that she send me a message on her iPad the moment she... Continue Reading →
I am sooooooo proud of my 10-year-old daughter. She’s spent the weekend jumping her heart out at the NSW/ACT Skipping Championships. Yep, as regular readers of HouseGoesHome know, skipping as a sport is a thing. Irregular readers: remember Malcolm McLaren’s song “Double Dutch”? Or am I much older than you? Anyway, that’s what they do... Continue Reading →
I tried my first cronut yesterday. You know, those croissant-donut hybrid thingies. There's a Zumbo patisserie near my new office and one of my new colleagues bought treats for everyone to share. Cronuts are pretty awesome ... I just don't want to think about how many calories are jammed into those buttery layers of heaven.... Continue Reading →
I've started doing some contract work for an organisation that's right up my alley: The Drinks Association. As you might guess, it's a liquor industry body. I'll be doing its social media for a bit. My first day on the job was a cushy one: a staff conference at a nearby hotel. I got to... Continue Reading →
It's tempting to rewrite history and dismiss my 23-year relationship with my ex-husband as one gigantic mistake. Well, aside from the fact it produced my two divine daughters. But that can't be true. There was a time when we were happy and in love ... I just can't remember it. I know we were attracted... Continue Reading →
Remember being told as a kid not to pull faces because the wind might change and leave you like that? Even though I knew it wasn't true, it still scared me a bit. And you know what? That old wives' tale was kinda true. If you pull a face enough, it does stay like that.... Continue Reading →
Kate Hudson loves celebrating her birthday so much that she throws a huge 'hot mess' celebration every year. This year she gave it a wedding theme for friends celebrating a birthday around the same time, including author Derek Blasberg and jeweller Jen Meyer. Her Pacific Palisades mansion was wall-to-wall celebs, including Demi Moore, Naomi Cammpbell,... Continue Reading →
When you're a single mum who's working full time and blogging daily, something's gotta give. In my case it's been cooking. As long-time blog followers might remember, I was quite prolific in the kitchen. And I loved it. At one point I was even writing food blogs for Kidspot - some of my recipes still...
