Spend a little time watching spawnlings at work play and you will start to see that science comes naturally to them. Seriously – science is an art form. It is purely about finding out how and why things happen. (Oxford Dictionary) Definition of science (noun) The intellectual and practical activity encompassing […]
Last week, I was asked to be an escort on Sinister’s school excursion to a Marine Education Centre. After laughing long and hard about the idea of ME being a ‘responsible, supervising parent’ – I accepted. I can’t guarantee that I’ll ever be invited again. Considering how it ended, that […]
ERMERGHERD!!!! IT TASTES SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!! *Ahem* As you were. So, as discussed last night in the initial Hail to the Bacon post, I decided to create a bacon-based quiche to truly respect the awesome-ness of Bacon Week in Australia. Awesome little country that.

“I love when we have vegetarian meals with bacon; It’s like ‘Screw you, vegetarians!” – EG Dad This week is Bacon Week in Australia. Seriously. No, I’m not kidding you. But imagine this – if there was ever a way to take over the world, bacon would be it. […]

I know what you’re saying – “How is Play Dough evil?” True, in its natural form it does not seem very evil. But put this recipe in the wrong hands (or the right ones?) and they will be able to mix up their own dough at any time to copy […]
“I’ve been slimed!!” Today’s Forensic Friday experiment is brought to you by the letter S – for SLIME. Ooey, gooey, slime. Of course Sinister and Nefarious want to make their own slime. And it is a good lesson in chemical reactions (as is any cooking in the house)… My concern […]
The Sun is shining. The sky is blue. Small birds are twittering around. Our kids are in the garden, making a catapult out of a Totem Tennis set. It is simply an awesome day. How are they making a catapult out of a Totem Tennis set? 3yo Nefarious is standing […]
