Making my own tortillas has been on my to-do list since I moved to San Diego in 2003 and became forever addicted to Mexican food. The gauntlet was laid on Friday night as Dave caught a shit-tonne of snapper and fish tacos were calling. There …
When Ethan was a newborn one of our friends in San Diego quickly noted that he was not one of those ‘spaghetti’ babies. What she meant was, he was never limp or floppy. There was always tension in his wee body and he has always …
For real. Every time I even look at these shoes I get a song in my head. Remember Prince? or Symbol or whatever he goes by;
“Could you be, the most beautiful girl shoes in the world?. I’m serious.
Too bad I’ve only worn them to a Tupperware party thus far, that is the problem about being a mummy and trying to justify beautiful/expensive shoe purchases. I need occasions to wear these, schlepping at The Warehouse doesn’t really constitute a Dahlia Sandal outing does it?

So I am a bit late in posting but I wanted/needed to be thankful as this week has been rough. Tears, frustration, anger, stress and anxiety beat me down, almost. We survived and I can think of many things that make me smile again. Ethan …
I haven’t managed to get my mojo back yet, but Wardrobe Wednesday perks me up a little bit, at least enough to pull a post together {even if I can’t pull together an outfit to save my life this week!}. Ethan and I attended a …
That’s it people. That’s all I have this week. The last bite of bakery caramel slice that just went up in price .60c and simultaneously shrunk. The nerve of you Hollywood Bakery!
I am tired, I don’t feel good, my bank manager is away and the women who is supposed to take care of his customers is a fucking moron {just thinking about the immense headache of trying to fix my mortgage makes me feel stabby – 5.1% for the angry lady though hello!}. I guess I am loving that. So now we are up to two. Two Things I am Loving.
What else?
I can only think of things I am Hating. This is the sad truth. I am prepared to concede that this is probably in part due to a new lack of antidepressants in my system, my happy pills have succeeded in making me happy-ish for a good number of years now, but it is time to bid them adieu. We’ll talk more about that later.
So instead of a stream of happy iPhone photos, depicting perfect family life, I present to you a short bullet point list of thinks I Kind of Like this week;
Happy Friday! Let’s cross our fingers for Rainbows and Unicorns over the weekend shall we?
Here’s a wee tip fellow bloggers; whenever you are lacking in inspiration and have reached the very bottom of your creative souls, head over to the New Zealand Herald website and have a quick browse among the Life & Style section – there is no …
I had been lusting after these sneaks for an age and they finally popped up in the sale section at UO. Could not resist. These will definitely be my go-to comfy flats this season {added bonus, small socks are completely invisible!}.
The weather in Aucks {and the rest of New Zealand} has been totally shit lately. Super cold, windy enough to blow one of our huge palms over and rainy rainy rainy. Hate. Every time I wear these boots I think “this HAS to be the last time I wear these guys in 2012”. But they always pop out of the closet for one last cameo. What’s weird about this outfit is that the night after I wore it, I was flicking through my Pinterest Boards when I came across this pin – obviously the outfit had been filed in my subconscious for future inspiration!
I was also inspired by Kelly’s Preppy outfit post last week – loving this style, it’s very ‘me’…….somedays lol.
This outfit was definitely warm and cosy but I STILL had to layer up with my pea coat before we went out to dinner! Brrrrrr.
Boots: Country Road, Thrifted
Leggings: MAX
Shirt: Levis

We finished picking, packing and wrapping our families contribution to Operation Christmas Child this weekend. I have discovered that I am absolute rubbish at wrapping cardboard shoe boxes {how can it be so hard?}. I thought I would share what we included in our gift …
