    Like most women, I have a favourite pair of jeans. They are well worn, well loved, and almost intrinsic to my personality.

    It was a happy occasion when they were first folded away, I was pregnant and growing ridiculously quickly. But they have been staring at me from the wardrobe for months now, and I desperately want to be able to wear them again.

  2. The Children's Nutrition Blog: More on the nut allergy and breastfeeding study

    Professor Katie Allen of the Murdoch Children's Research Institute had this to say in another ABC report on the topic:

  5. Whats NOT hot? The Shire

    Before I even start, let me declare LOUDLY that I did NOT watch The Shire, that I have no intention of ever watching The Shire and that I know that by even writing about The Shire I am, sadly, promoting it to some extent.
