Dubai-based. Stays most of the time in the marina as she can't be bothered going anywhere else. Originally from the land of the orang utans, spent the latter half of her life in the land down under. Always on the look out for deals, loves organising get-togethers, and occasionally steals some time for a sip of wine at ladies nights.
An amazing fellow mum collated a list of all the Christmas events in Dubai, and shared it with all of us. With permission, I’m putting this up with a few more additions to it and links added to the events on their respective social media pages. All credits goes to Liz Fitzpatrick for the list! 🙂 … More Christmas in Dubai – 2018 Family Edition
So we managed to get out of the house around 11-ish today which was an absolute miracle. Two kids strapped into a monster double pram, we got out of the building and started walking towards the Le Meridien. Weather was perfect. As we made our way towards the Pik-Nik area, we stopped by the little … More Pik-Nik Family Brunch @ The Westin Mina Seyahi
When another restaurant pops up in Dubai, and markets itself as offering authentic cuisine from our region – we get so excited.

Whilst I think that the security guard was not very happy at our little ones, we had such a good time at the Dubai Garden Centre this morning. Let’s just say good for the first 3 hours, minus the last ten minutes when I had to literally pick a screaming 2-year old who did not … More Breakfast with Kids @ Roseleaf Cafe, Dubai Garden Centre
We wanted to go somewhere new last Saturday, so off we went for a drive to the Palm with the kids. I started browsing through the Entertainer to see where have we not been to. This newly opened hotel had always been of interest – The Retreat Palm Dubai ran by MGallery by Sofitel. Too … More Chapters Afternoon Tea @ The Retreat Palm Dubai

I’m talking about ‘casual restaurants’, something that people are happy to spend money at whenever they go out, not the 200AED a piece of steak (sides, extra) fine dining joint. Sometimes I feel that the city is … More #63 Why we return to the same restaurants – Thoughts from a consumer
I struggled to find one place that explained the entire process. I’m sure it’s there. So after a bit of googling, whatsapping mummy friends, searching on facebook groups, lots of phonecalls to numerous centres and running around, I got my nanny’s visa completed. Here’s what we did for our nanny who was already in the … More #62 Getting a visa for our nanny under our own sponsorship in Dubai
