Getting to know Helle from Lucas Loves Cars

September 30 2014 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

Today we’re getting to know Helle from Lucas Love Cars.

 

Headshot

 

1. Tell us a little about yourself?

I think I am a pretty typical Mum. Our family is loud sometimes and probably on technology too much. Before I started Lucas loves cars I worked for a great company, behind a computer all day. I love to be a bit creative when I have time, knitting, baking or occasionally quilting.

 

2. Describe Lucas Loves Cars in one sentence?

We are an online store for Mums who love quality and have kids obsessed by cars, trucks, trains and all things that move. …

A Day at the Royal Melbourne Show

September 29 2014 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

To me, the September school holidays means one thing – a visit to the Royal Melbourne Show.

 

My visit yesterday with hubby and kids, was another fun family day out.

 

It didn’t take long for the boys (hubby and Master 4) to find the Ford Smart Drive area and my son was so excited that he got to drive a miniature mustang (my dream car) around the track.

11 days down, Influenza A still lingering… but com 11 days down, Influenza A still lingering… but comfort food is doing its thing 😊

Crispy tofu bánh mì + a raspberry cordial = the small joys getting me through recovery.

Not fancy. Just comforting. And honestly, exactly what I needed 🥖❤️

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.”
