Perfect Holiday Destination

I think I have found the perfect spot for a holiday.
Cabo San Lucas Villas
Just have a look at those beaches. I love Mexico. There is something about the weather and the people that I just love. It is like 24/7 holiday mode down there. But, if you are going to go I highly recommend [...]

We always kind of think this, and every generation always kind of thinks it. I mean, there is always change right? The old proverb the only constant is change and all that.

Making over the inside..

There is some great stuff you can get online these days. I am still amazed how much the internet has grown and evolved (it is only 14 years old..) and especially the Web 2.0 (the name given to the web post the “bubble”.. but should the internet really be measured in terms of BA [...]

What to do it your dog has arthritis?

What to do if your dog has arthritis is not the kind of question anyone wants to have to ask themselves.
I have a little confession to make. I ran over my dog.
It sounds worse than it was.. well actually, it was pretty bad. Upsetting and painful.. for my dog.
I was not driving very fast, [...]

Vegan Shoes and Bags?

Here is something I reckon is pretty cool.. 100% Vegan Shoes and Bags. For those that are like me and have always not been 100% sure exactly what the difference between vegan and vegetarian is, a vegan does not like to have animals involved in any way. So, no milking cows, no sheering sheep, [...]

I Just Want To Wish You Well

I posted up a tune the other day by Aussie Bernard Fanning, and I was somehow able to make it make some sense in a business sense. But, I think I am going to struggle to get the same done today.. so I am not even going to try.. below is another sweet melody [...]

Staying connected to your corner of the Internet

It is interesting to consider how most blog readers and writer stay connected to their blogosphere neighborhoods? For me it is by subscribing to my favorite sites’ feeds. I prefer to get all my updates in one place than have to surf around the various blogs individually. And, I know that some of my [...]

Song Bird and A Little More Disclosure

A little bit more information can sometimes make a lot of difference. This is a point I have been trying to communicate (unsuccessfully I think, unfortunately) recently in some workshops. By choosing the right time to make additional disclosure, sincerely, you can change the outcome or experience of a customer and client. For [...]

Australian Idol Tipping Site

You gotta love reality TV. Well.. the good ones anyway. Big Brother, Australian Idol. These are the two we pretty much stick to in our family.. but we do not mind a bit of the Amazing Race from time to time as well.
Australian Idol is cool because so universal, it has a mass appeal, [...]

Finding Good Nanny Agencies Is Hard!

Finding a good babysitter is hard these days. After you have exhausted all your personal and professional networks it might be time to start looking for nanny agencies. One of the things, though, that I have found with agencies is that they are really really expensive. It is funny isn’t it. Our kids are [...]

Online BabySitters

As a parent one of the tricky things about trying to still keep up a bit of a social life is finding good babysitters. Actually, it is hard to even find fairly good babysitters. It is hard to do the networking. I was recently searching around for babysitters to see what there was available [...]

Sausage Stuffing Recipes

Okay, hands up who loves food?
There is something grand about long lunches, dinner parties, cooked breakfasts or just generally enjoying great food. I love catching up with friends and sharing food together. There is something about enjoying a meal with friends that is more substantial than catching up for a coffee or a [...]
