Our timing was a little unfortunate the day we brought Kaylin to her first wedding reception. She’d been out for much of the day, had refused to nap properly, and was really cranky by the time we got to the reception venue. It didn’t help that everyone wanted to meet her at the same [...]
One of the things that annoy me about hubby is how he won’t answer my questions. He says he does, but really, if I can’t hear his mumbled, under-his-breath response, does it count? He says aye, I say nay. And our debate goes on.

One of many a pregnant woman’s pet peeves is how people seem to think it’s okay to walk up to her and rub her belly. While I’ve been lucky enough to not experience too many unwelcome encounters – I think I’ve only had three or four people I don’t really know come up to me [...]
I don’t mean punctuality – I will be the first to admit I’ve often shown up a little later than I would have liked for lunch dates and appointments; I mean like when someone is waiting for you at your door to pick you up, or the family is waiting for you so they can [...]

One of our mags had a movie screening last night and the first two readers to redeem their free tickets were entitled to a bottle of wine. Unfortunately, there was no official queue because a table had not been set up for us, and as a result, nobody quite knows who really got there first. [...]
I read Kristin Armstrong’s blog. She’s the ex-wife of Lance Armstrong turned marathon runner, and I read her stuff because she writes well, it’s interesting, and I lack good online reading material.
Recently, Kristin wrote a post about a (I imagine) common dilemma – if someone wants to join you and your friends for [...]
I met this man yesterday, who asked me where I graduated from (Melbourne University), what I graduated in (Media and Communications) and whether or not I was working now.
I said yes.
He said where are you working.
I said hot magazine.
He literally scoffed at me and said hmph, graduate from Melbourne Uni and [...]
