Elizabeth: I’ve been laying low lately (South Australian winter + crazy work deadlines = hibernation) so the weekend adventures of my lovely friend Elizabeth have inspired this Mrs M Chats profile. Elizabeth is a born traveller (Mr M and I actually met her on the plane to Morocco) who is embracing the fine art of weekending. Who is the real… Continue reading Mrs M chats to Elizabeth
And by ‘good’, I mean for retail therapy. I just counted the social media accounts I am responsible for personally, for work and for professional associations: 2 Facebook profiles 2 Facebook pages 2 Instagram accounts 4 Twitter accounts 1 LinkedIn profile Eleven! With all the time it takes to manage this social media presence I… Continue reading How to use social media for good, not evil
If Australia Post goes broke, it won’t be because I didn’t support them. (By the way Mr M, you probably should stop reading now.) Moving back to the country has been amazing on so many levels and I would struggle to live in a city again – I love the space, the fresh air, the… Continue reading Shop ‘til you drop, from afar
Why hello autumn, we thought you weren’t going to make an appearance this year. You’ve arrived just in time for winter! I’m a Queensland girl, so I love summer and have to resist going into ‘bear-in-a-cave’ hibernation mode during South Australia’s colder months. When I moved to SA (for love, naww) five years ago I arrived… Continue reading What I wore: a chill in the air
To prove that Mrs M Loves is not just about pretty things, I’m handing the reins over to Mr M this week. Well, sort of. I’m still writing this but it’s all about how Mr M sharpened his skills in the Barossa Valley recently. I’m always on the lookout for a unique Christmas present for Mr… Continue reading Mr M sharpens his skills
I had a cheeky trip to Adelaide last weekend and managed to pack a lot into 24 hours. I even fit in a quick visit to Brazil. What?! Well, to Rio specifically. Actually, to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre – but there was plenty Rio-ness to be found inside its walls. Like Cinderella, I have wanted… Continue reading Maracas and markets
To celebrate Mother’s Day, I asked two special women in my life – my mother, Mary, and my mother-in-law, Lynnette – to share a recipe with Mrs M Loves. Enjoy! Mary’s French Tea Cake I love this cake – it brings back memories of growing up on our cattle property, gathered around the wood stove… Continue reading Food from the heart
I love shopping. There, I said it. (Pause for surprised gasps.) However, although I love to find treasures from my adventures the last thing I want to do when I’m overseas is waste all my time in shops. Mr M and I spend most of our travels doing exactly that: travelling. We explore the great outdoors.… Continue reading Japan part 3: What I bought
Our recent trip to Japan was an experience for all the senses (you can read more here) but today I want to talk about taste. I enjoy Japanese food, especially sashimi and gyoza, so I was looking forward to this food journey, but Mr M was a little more reserved and didn’t know what to… Continue reading Japan part 2: What we ate
Whenever Mr M and I are on holidays, we start planning our next one. Something about being away from the ‘real world’ seems to stir up our wanderlust. So, when we strolled past the travel agent while on a mini-break in Port Lincoln after Christmas, we felt the pull of adventure. We didn’t really have… Continue reading Japan part 1: Where we went
