Fact: Dry shampoo is life. I’m a fan. Dove asked for my thoughts on their Refresh + Care Dry Shampoo and here they are internet, just for you! Thanks for making this post possible Dove. There are very few beauty/haircare/skincare products that I religiously use every, single day because, at this point in my life, every day is very different. We …
Although over 30 years old, US-based Swiss heritage skincare giant Arbonne has only recently become available here in New Zealand. They got in touch recently and asked if I’d like to review one of their ranges, so, not one to do things by halves, I willingly went all-in with my first Arbonne New Zealand skincare experience and have been using …
Summer school holidays are almost upon us here in New Zealand and, as far as I can tell, there are two distinct methodologies parents use to tackle the school holidays; The Organized Planner: Days, playdates, excursions, picnics are all planned with military precision – only to be completely at the mercy of the sometimes/usually unpredictable January weather (especially if you live …
This post was made possible by the world’s number #1 selling mattress protector, Protect-A-Bed, who know a thing or two about helping us get a good night’s sleep! How many times have you caught yourself complaining about how tired you are, how you could sleep for days, how you need to go to bed earlier………only to repeat your unhealthy nocturnal habits over and …
This Mum Service Announcement (MSA) is sponsored by GLAD. Life with kids can easily become an all-consuming cycle of coveting, collecting, consuming and then (sneakily lol) culling when the opportunity arises.

It’s Spring! It’s a bit grey, gloomy and coldish, but it is indeed Spring. The notion of the ‘Spring Clean’ is not something we focus on quite so much in this modern era of the multitasking homemaker – who may or may not work outside the home, and whose life agenda is so full that simply remembering to start …
I’m seeing a lot of awesome new products each week so thought it was about time I curated these new releases into a regular ‘Hot List’ that’s short and snappy, giving you guys the lowdown on the latest and greatest from brands we love. I Love Pies Spiced Chickpea & Spinach Pie RRP $4.99 I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch today, …
My favourite household chore (if I’m going to say that I actually have a favourite chore!) is definitely laundry. I really don’t mind rinsing out muddy rugby gear, sorting washing, hanging it out, getting it in. In fact, the only step in the process that I don’t enjoy is putting clean laundry away. That’s what my floor-drobe is for. Despite my enthusiasm …
One Sunday morning at 4am the sun was not up, but into the bed came a very wriggly and very hungry little boy. He started to look for some food, but Mum and Dad were still sleeping. Last week they survived; 1 professional exam, 1 swimming lesson, 1 basketball game, 1 basketball practice, 1 committee meeting, 4 rugby practices, 2 GST returns, …
I’m inherently clumsy, Dave is a skateboarding, rugby playing off-road runner, Ethan is a 12.5-year-old boy who plays rugby, basketball and is allergic to long pants and Nixon is your very typical, hyper-tornado-like almost four-year-old…….who also plays rugby. My two boys (and their 40-year-old Dad!) are definitively of the scraped hands, scabby knees variety. I wouldn’t have it any other way. …
