Flavour Of The Month (FOTM) is our nod to old-school blogging days. We’re sharing a taste – a ‘flavour’ if you will – of what’s happened in the month just gone.
Why do we do this?
There are a few reasons actually. First and foremost, we like to be able to google our lives. All too often, Christina has asked me when we did something and all I’ve had to do is search Mr & Mrs.
But we also love writing about things that either don’t really fit anywhere else or that isn’t quite a big enough story to have its own stand-alone article.
Best of all, we love sharing important moments of our lives here, so you get a real flavour of what’s happening with us in these posts.
Since we came back from Italy last month, I’ve been longing for taralli. Taralli are little hoop-shaped biscuits that are originally from Puglia in southeastern Italy, where we just were. Last week I decided I’d have a crack at making them. The results were… interesting. We’ve got the details below. Plus, our friend Sean McGrath … Read more
We’re interstate in this week’s IG Edition: we’ve spent the last few days in Melbourne! Home of the Australian café scene, trams and Aussie Rules Football, Melbourne also plays host to a new creative business workshop our friends Emma Kate and Sonia are running called Brand Confetti. Sandwiched between learning some great new skills to … Read more
Every week when I sit down to write this post I wonder what’s going to come out. Mrs Romance and I scan through our photos of the week just gone to recap what kind of week it’s been. It’s actually a great way we’ve found to remember the fun stuff that happens on a daily … Read more
Although it’s now August and getting to the end of the Australian winter, the skies around Sydney tell a different story. The temperatures around the country have really dropped again with winter giving it one last go – hopefully the last – until spring. Mrs Romance and I thought we’d managed to avoid the winter … Read more
As much as we absolutely loved being in Europe for so long – and as busy as we are now catching up on work – it’s good to be back in Sydney. This whole week – a fortnight since we arrived home – has been nose to the grindstone getting things done. That’s meant very … Read more
It’s hard to believe we’ve got through the first full week of being back in the country already. This time last week, Mrs Romance and I were busy exploring Norfolk in England with my parents. Now we’re dealing with Sydney’s winter… well, I say struggle – it’s not really been that bad I suppose. And … Read more
A little tear rolls down our cheek. Our trip has finally come to an end and we’re back in Sydney. This is our last IG Edition from the northern hemisphere for a while, but don’t worry, there’s plenty more going on back in Sydney to keep us busy! You might also see more photos going … Read more
It feels like no time at all and yet a lifetime since we were both here in England. Really it was only a few weeks ago, but so much has happened since then. This is the last leg of our epic European trip (for this year) and we’ve got plenty to tell you since we … Read more
With Italy, Sweden and Belgium behind us, Mrs Romance and I are excited about the good times ahead in our next stop: the Netherlands. This week we’re heading to Rotterdam to meet up with our lovely friends Sara-May and Pat, who moved here from Sydney a few years ago. We can’t wait to see how … Read more
Puglia in Italy’s southwest was so beautiful – if you don’t believe me, check out our stories here and here – but the next stage of our journey is just as inspiring. In this IG Edition, we fly north to see what Sweden has to offer. Our friends in Stockholm have invited us to stay … Read more
