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.
Today we’re thinking about all the things that have inspired our travels. We’ve started by talking about five books that have given us the motivation to see the world. We’re still working on where we should go this year – but I think we’re getting there. Our Instagram competition has come to an end today. … Read more
Sometimes it’s good just to sit down and watch something enchanting and fun. Can’t get much better than My Neighbour Totoro. It’s an old Japanese animated movie about two little girls who move to the countryside and discover this magical furry monster. They have very strange adventures, including riding in ‘a cat bus’. Don’t make … Read more
We start off the week with our first-timer’s guide to San Diego, California. It’s got all the tips and secrets you need to make the most of ‘America’s finest city’. San D is a great town and we’ve had some amazing times there. The weather’s perfect most of the year round, the people are friendly … Read more
This week sees the end of the summer and the start of warmer clothes. I’m optimistic though – it means I can soon start pulling out the winter recipes like lamb shanks and slow-cook curries. Got to love that comfort food. Today though, Mrs Romance is happy with the start to her day with a … Read more
After a slow start to the week, things pick up with a big Zumbo sugar high! We’re at Adriano Zumbo’s patisserie in The Star Casino in Sydney. We’ve been invited to try the new flavours he’s developed for Arnott’s Tim Tams. To start things off, Adriano makes us all this delicious sundae combining all the elements … Read more
It’s a great start to the week for us. We catch up with a friend we haven’t seen for ages. She lives in Macao these days, living the casino life. It sounds glamorous, but she’s happy to be back in Australia for a while. We sit and have a coffee in the city, which seems … Read more
Mrs Romance kicks off this week with her customary run down to Sydney Harbour. It looks like a lovely day on the water this morning – especially for these kayakers… unless they’re lost or in a strong current… that wouldn’t be a lot of fun. Anyway, I’m happier than anyone because I’m still in bed! … Read more
It’s recovery time for us as we try to wind down after an Excellent Australia Day weekend. Having spent the last few days enjoying the company and hospitality of my brother and of Nikki and Mr SY from Styling You, we’re expecting a quiet next few days. The question is, will our expectations be met? … Read more
We’ve decided to take it pretty easy this week because we’ve got a feeling the weekend is going to be a big one. With Australia Day on Sunday and our plans for spending it with my brother in Brisbane, we know it’s going to be a fun w/e. Doubled by the fact that we’ve also … Read more
This is one of our favourite Instagram pictures from our trip to the States last year. It’s from when we went on a romantic sunset sailing cruise on the Hudson River. It’s a beautiful thing to do in NYC while you’re there. Here’s our post on sailing the Hudson River. Looks like it’s going to … Read more
