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.
Well it’s been a tumultuous week if nothing else. Love that word – tumultuous. Tumultuous. Anyway, it’s been a week of ups and downs – thankfully more ups than anything though. We managed to catch a stomach bug from our friends’ kids last weekend, which didn’t seem too bad… until we both found ourselves near … Read more
That’s right, this is what November feels like. I’d almost forgotten, which just shows my short-term memory must be shot to bits. Wasn’t it November, like, three weeks ago? I’m having real trouble working out where 2016 has gone, I really am. Perhaps I should look over a few of our very own IG Editions … Read more
It’s been quite the party week here at Romance HQ. We’ve both been running around like crazy – but all in the name of fun. So as the end of the month of October looms right up in the form of Halloween, Sydney’s annual craft beer week comes to a close and good ol’ Silly … Read more
This week just gone has been absolutely crazy for us at Romance HQ. Mostly it’s been thanks to awesome stuff with the start of spring here in Sydney waking everyone up from their winter slumber. I’m sure there are a lot more parties on the horizon too. We’ve been to a masterclass for Australian craft … Read more
This week just gone has been a lot of fun for us. The warmer weather here in Sydney and the new season has meant lots of new things going on. We’ve also been busy catching up with friends, which is always a good thing. We’re also excited about the second half of October as Sydney … Read more
This week has been a very short week here in Sydney. New South Wales and most of the rest of the country turned our clocks forward for some summertime daylight saving. It now means my mum is even more confused than ever going from 9 hours’ difference to the UK to 10 and now we’re … Read more
Well, that’s September done and dusted. Didn’t take long, did it? It does mean that we’re only 12 weeks away from Christmas, which is… interesting. But the best news for us here in Sydney is that Summertime is finally here. We’ve made the most of it by spending as much time as we can out by the water … Read more
As we watch September slip by like the stealthy month-cat she is, the stark horror that it’s getting to the last 100 days of the year dawns on us. Really?! 100 day to Christmas? I am concerned. Any day now I’ll be fretting because it’ll be Christmas Eve and I’ll’ve just started shopping. Where’s that … Read more
It’s been a pretty crazy week this week with lots going on behind the scenes at Romance Media. We’ve also started our coverage of our recent foray into Sabah, Borneo, which is exciting. Here’s our first article, which details the majority of our trip. Because our visit to Sabah covered so much, we’re calling this our … Read more
This week is a pretty special time of the year for Mrs Romance and myself. Every time 15th September comes around, it signifies another year of us being together. We got together during the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics in 2000, so that means this year we’ll have been together for 16 years! Amazing … Read more
