On the new and improved site I will be plating up my recipes, talking travel, test driving new products, and discussing one of my favorite topics wine.

I love a drop of vino but have found that wine tasting notes are about as easy to understand as Bert Newton’s Hair. I have taken a more ‘simpleton’ approach to wine reviewing and set more of a tone for the drop in question rather than breaking down the actual elements of the wine. Instead of writing a crisp dry review that comes from a place of knowledge I have taken a more fruity approach that comes from being highly opinionated.  I hope to coax you away from the beige cardigan of wine that is Sauvignon Blanc and in to the power suit that is Chardonnay.

I will be giving advice on all things domestic in ‘The modern Guide to Housewifery’. It will aim to give the highly sought after guidance needed by any modern woman who doesn’t have time to watch Dr Phil. Since the GFC the modern housewife has had to arm herself with new and innovative ways to keep a ship shape home whilst maintaining blow dried hair and a freshly painted nail.

With the festive season well and truly on top of us I have been seeking out cool products to feature in  ‘What’s hot’. I think you can never spend too much time talking about your hair, just ask any member of my family and a good beauty product is as essential as trans fats to a hangover at this manic time of the year.

Finding the right idea for a Christmas card year after year can be tricky. Last year I made my children Jesus and Joseph and our cat Linda was the little Lord baby Jesus. This year I was thinking maybe a little Santa suit on Linda but where to find such a suit? I discovered the mother load of cat sized outfits when picking up my daughter from a party at Build-a-bear! www.buildabear.com.au

All the dress ups for teddies are roughly cat size and just when I thought I couldn’t top last years nativity scene card, I found this terrific Christmas tree out fit which I think Linda is simply thrilled with.
   
I hope you enjoy the maiden voyage of the Mrs Walsh website.
