Shop Local Christmas 2014

November 21 2014 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

Hello there

 

By now you are probably aware that I am VERY passionate about supporting local businesses here in Melbourne and there is no better time to show your support than now – in the lead up to Christmas.

 

There are a lot of reasons why you should shop local (and you can read about some of them here on one of my earlier posts) but have you ever thought about what you are actually giving back to your community. …

Review: Mocka Box Cart

October 14 2014 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

The lovely folks at Mocka Australia recently sent me a Box Cart for the kids (and their daddy) to play with.

 

I remember my brother had a billy cart when we were kids and we loved it. (Hopefully my kids will not be reading this) I can remember us flying down the bridge at the end of our street at a million miles an hour with NO helmets!!! We had so much fun, so I was hoping my kids would love their new box cart too – wearing their helmets, of course!  …

Review: Belly Art ‘Baby Imprint Kit’

October 7 2014 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

I was recently sent some Belly Art Baby Imprint Kits to review.

 

Baby Imprint Kits create a lasting impression of your child’s hand or feet using this special impression material. The Belly Art Imprint kit is like no other – it’s not plaster or clay so there is no baking or mixing. It’s so easy to use, baby safe and mess free!

Just finished Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConag Just finished Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy and… Wow!!!
What. A. Ride. 📚

From the very first chapter, I was hooked. And the twists? I did not see them coming.

Charlotte McConaghy proves once again why Australian authors are absolutely unmatched when it comes to vivid storytelling and emotional punch 🇦🇺📚

It’s beautifully written, deeply moving, and completely unputdownable.
Highly, highly recommend! 

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Have you read it yet? Let’s chat 👇

“Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world’s largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers. But with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants, packing up the seeds before they are transported to safer ground.

Despite the wild beauty of life here, isolation has taken its toll on the Salts. Raff, 18 and suffering his first heartbreak, can only find relief at his punching bag; Fen, 17, has started spending her nights on the beach among the seals; 9-year-old Orly, obsessed with botany, fears the loss of his beloved natural world; and Dominic can’t stop turning back towards the past, and the loss that drove the family to Shearwater in the first place.

Then, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman washes up on shore. As the Salts nurse the woman, Rowan, back to life, their suspicion gives way to affection, and they finally begin to feel like a family again. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting her heart, begins to fall for the Salts, too. But Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers the sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realises Dominic is keeping his own dark secrets.”
