I have just come back from a serious marathon road trip with the spawnlings, and my most favourite part of it all was the Nintendo 2DS. Well, that’s not completely true. The spawnlings were kind of fun as well. I’ll be the first to admit I had my trepidations. […]
Kings Comics save your parenting butt during the school holidays with their Kings Kids Corps on 10 Jan 2016
There are only a handful of themes which truly stand the test of time. The kind of things shared between generations; dancing across language barriers; appreciated by any child, anywhere, anytime. Lego is definitely one. DC characters are absolutely there. Art is certainly there. And then whoa! You have someone […]
Sinister’s school class had an excursion yesterday. All the way over to the Sydney Writer’s Festival. His teacher was rather considerate and even gave us a list of writers appearing on the day, including Liz Pichon. For those minions who do not have pre-teen spawnlings reading and doodling all over […]
I Survived FCBD 2016. Not sure how, but we did. For those playing at home, EG Inc cosplayed with a Doctor Who theme: 9th Doctor; 11th Doctor; River Song; Osgood; and of course, the TARDIS. The Dalek is a bonus, given to us by family a few years back. Yes, […]

Horrible Histories know how to make pirates grossly appealing to kids – even at the Museum! Make it honest; Make it gross; Make it fun. Maritime Museum (Sydney) has all of that but only until 27 Apr 2016.
A few weeks back, I attended PAX Aust in Melbourne. It was my first time. And it was brilliant. It was also my first time attending anything as an official writer (under the guise of GeekMom), so it wasn’t just a schmooze and cruise affair either. There was serious gaming […]
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 […]
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 […]
