Monthly Desktop Wallpapers

Monthly desktop wallpapers have become quite popular of late. I love changing my wallpaper every month, and some of my favourites lately have been from the amazingly talented Definatalie.

This month she has out done herself again, I think they are the best yet! I just love the colours, and the nifty little spots for neatly sorting your desktop icons.

The wallpaper comes in a range of sizes, along with a matching wallpaper for your iPhone. Visit Definatalie to grab yours!

Seclusions retreats for couples

Last week I was lucky enough to stay at Seclusions – a boutique spa retreat exclusively for couples.

It’s a property nestled in the mountains outside Lithgow, near the Blue Mountains in New South Wales with 6 self-contained cabins for the perfect getaway with your special someone.

The cabins are well-appointed and feature a kitchenette with microwave and gas stove – perfect for casual meals when you’re not in the mood for going out. The balconies have a BBQ and 2 spring-loaded rocking chairs (which are fabulous).

We were told that breakfast provisions were included when we booked in, but we received far more than that! There was a basket full of cereals, canned fruit, chocolate, Oreos and baked beans. In the fridge we found tomatoes, bacon, juice, butter and milk. We were spoilt for choice!

Hands-down, the best part about Seclusions is the view. Big windows meant we were always getting a glimpse of the mountains around Lithgow. The famous Lithgow fog makes the view particularly breathtaking. We spent hours sitting on the rocking chairs soaking up the warm winter sun.

If you’re looking for a romantic getaway for one night or five, take a look at Seclusions. Their attention to detail will make your stay a memorable one.

2010 Rugby Breastfeeding Calendar

I think this is a GREAT idea!

breastfeeding-calendar

It’s a sad fact that we still live in an era where women can still be chastised for breastfeeding in public (or even worse, at work! Gasp!). There are also many women choose to not breastfeed at all, even if there’s no medical reason not to.

The Breastfeeding Cafe in the town of Rugby in England is working to release a calendar featuring photos of breastfeeding women.

I’ve never heard of a breastfeeding cafe, but it’s exactly what it sounds like: a comfortable place for mums to go and socialise and connect with other mums while getting up-to-date information about breastfeeding and connecting with professionals in the industry.

The 2010 calendar is due to go on sale in September and profits will allow this cafe in Rugby to continue to support its local community.

Do you know of a breastfeeding cafe in Australia?

Wii Sports Resort

resortWe have had our Wii for a few years now. Games have come and gone,  spent a fortune, but the family favourite has always been Wii Sports.

So the kids were excited to hear that Wii Sport had been given a revamp with the release of Wii Sports Resort.

Wii Sports Resort comes with 2 of your old favourites golf and bowling, but there is also 10 new resort activities like Frisbee, Archery, Cycling, wakeboarding. Swordplay and Frisbee golf have been a big hit so far.

Wii Sports Resort comes with the new MotionPlus sensor that plugs into your regular Wii mote. MotionPlus brings a new level of precision, sensing gameplay movements with greater accuracy than ever before. There are a few other games compatible with the Motion Plus include Virtua Tennis 2009 , Grand Slam Tennis  and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 with more to follow.

Final verdict, the kids give it 2 thumbs up!

Fancy Fast Food

Fancy Fast Food – turning gross fast food into something that looks more… normal?

It’d still smell like KFC, wouldn’t it? No amount of garnish could hide that smell!
