I Want … A LEGO TARDIS!!

   Kudos to Minion Kellie for telling me about this one.  For a limited time, BBC / Doctor Who (Australia) had a full size Lego TARDIS down at Bondi Beach (Sydney). Isn’t it beautiful? Doubly so- Lego AND Doctor Who. *sniff* I so want but considering the other Lego filling […]

Forensic Friday – Archaeology Play

Life skills. It’s all about the life skills. And with spawnlings, it’s all about how you SELL those life skills. Today, let’s focus on cleaning. *that choking, warbling sound you may hear in the background is EG Dad as he cracks up laughing, then stumbles across the EG Lair, stepping […]

Review: Matilda the Musical (Sydney Performance)

Let’s get one thing straight – I was not paid for this review. I soooo wish that I was, because the tickets are expensive (we paid for the cheapies at $80 per seat). And I do not have any photos or video to share. What kind of hypocritical monster do you […]

Forensic Friday – Non-cook play dough recipe 

Normally, we have blue sky – sunshine, lollipops and rainbows and everything. Well, you get the idea. Lovely weather. The type of weather that entices you towards world domination … If it just wasn’t so damn cruise in your high wing-backed chair… But not today. No, today is day 3 […]

Sacrifice to Chocolate Gods

Ugh. I feel so crappy lately. It’s hard taking over the world when you are struggling to conquer your own parental guilt. I’ve been so focused on getting the spawnlings through the school term (with chest infections and teething nights and stuff) – I forgot to keep the fun in […]

I Want… My C64 Back

Do you want to know my ultimate weakness? Well, no. Chocolate is more of a dietary requirement. I’m talking LEGO games. Primarily Travellers Tales on the Wii/Wii U console. I have them all – Batman (1&2); Indie; Marvel, and so forth… All except Star Wars. Because that sucked. Hard. I […]

I have the Power!! DIY Solar Eclipse Viewer

In years gone by (a looooong time ago, minions), people believed that evil things happened during eclipses. The Vikings believed their Sky Wolves were chasing the Sun and the Moon, sometimes even catching them. The delicious snack was an eclipse. Apparently. In Vietnam, it’s a very hungry frog out for […]

Pyjama Day

Yeeeeaaaah – comfy pants. Some parents cope with school holidays by sending the spawnlings on camp, or to grandparents. Other parents team up and share the ‘babysitting’ around – amateur hour. At some time, it’s your turn to have a dozen or so 10-year-olds all at once. The trick is […]
