I loved wearing this pretty pomegranate dress from @nancybirddesign today, which paired beautifully with my leather tassel earrings and my suede heels from @boden_clothing. We also had plenty of outtakes and shenanigans as you can see ... is my 13 year old actually taller than me or is that slight difference just all hair? And is @darrenrowse on tippie toes 🤔 #outtakes #highhair #outfitoftheday #outfit #everydaystyle #nancybird #melbournedesign

I do ❤️ a Christmas 🎄 table setting 🍽 My latest addition to my stash are these table Christmas trees from @kmartaus (2 for $8). I’m a bit obsessed with these blue glasses from @ikea_australia too! What’s your Christmas colour scheme this year? #entertaining #christmastablesetting #christmastablescape #christmas

We’re hosting a family Christmas dinner today so I’m busily prepping 👩🏼‍🍳 and enjoying our new kitchen 🥣 So far I’ve made a roast cauliflower and fennel salad (it just needs goats cheese and a drizzle of sherry vinegar and olive oil) and my favourite spiced plum sauce from @donnahaymagazine. Roast pork, roast spuds and mixed pea salad are up next and I’ve outsourced a roast pumpkin dish and dessert to family members. Hoping it’s a good test run for Christmas Day lunch which I’m also hosting. Have you got a Christmas do on this weekend? What’s your favourite dish to serve/bring/eat? #christmasdinner #christmaslunch #entertaining #salad #saladsofinstagram #christmas2019

When I’ve found time to read lately, I’ve been enjoying local crime author Sarah Bailey’s second novel, “Into the Night”. What are you currently reading? (You’ll find plenty of great books to read in my latest blog post too). #book #bookshelf #whattoread #bookstagram #australianwriters #australianfiction #crimefiction

End of term 4 feels captured in the last few days at Shenanigans Central 😴 Surprisingly, their daily flaking isn’t translating into early nights and sleep ins 😩 Anyhoo, they’ve got 8 days left of school for 2019 so we’re on the home strait 🤪 What does your end of term look like in emojis? #arewethereyet #term4 #fatiguecentral
