Recipe Links

I love recipes. I'm one of those people who have about 100 cookbooks all doggy-eared on something I must make. The problem being is that I never seem to get back to it and when I do, I think "eww gosh, what was I thinking?"

Lately I've been finding sites online for recipes that I LOVE!! I only print them if I KNOW I'm going to make them and it seems to be a good system. Some of my favourite recipe sites include the good old Women's Weekly Recipe Finder, Cooks.com and Top Secret Recipes (home to Hard Rock Cafe's pig sandwich & other great rip-off recipes).

I use an online supermarket called Food Direct (as they deliver and carry the groceries up the stairs for me) and recently I found a really yummy recipe on there for Thai Banana Salsa. All I had to do was simply press "order ingredients" and it ordered them all for me so I knew that the salsa ingredients were on their way - no backing out now.

What Is Essential to Me

I've been thinking about this and gosh, it's been hard for me to decide but I think I'm going to have to go with my coffee machine - a DeLonghi Magnifica Automatic Cappuccino Machine.

I cannot live without it. It helps me start my day especially if my daughter has kept me up half the night. This machine is FULLY automatic...tells ME when it needs cleaning or filling, etc. It grinds its own beans or you can add pre-ground. AND it froths the milk (for coffees, tea or hot chocolates).

It's a very smart machine and one that I just simply depend on for myself, guests, clients, etc. I bought it for my husband for his 30th. It was slightly expensive but worth its weight in gold!

BMN Blogging Challenge #3

Our third challange is to showcase one of our products and I have chosen one of our new MoshiMoshi branded newborn baby singlets. They're gorgeous and perfect for summer in Australia. They currently come in blue, pink & white, with black & red coming soon. They retail for a bargin price of $10.95 each (incl. GST) and are perfect for little MoshiMoshi fashion gurus. Check them out today: http://www.moshimoshibaby.com/products_new.php

Site Recommendation

I truly love is Mercury Design. The owner (a brilliant architect & the co-owner of MoshiMoshi) has designed some absolute gorgeous houses & commercial properties including our house.

He started the business on his own and now employs 4 staff (including his wife) plus many builders and consultants.

He has won many many awards and rightly so. His designs are unique and powerful.

Someone needs to help him to design his company website as he's been too busy designing houses to fix it but his work is SENSATIONAL!!

Blogging Challenge

As a member of the Business Mums Network, I have become involved in a blogging challenge which will help us to keep our blogs up-to-date and to encourage us to keep those who visit our blogs interested.

This challenge isn't all that relevant to MoshiMoshi and the products we sell but it's to stop my blog going stale with old entries.

The first challenge is to let everyone know that I am taking up the challenge... and now its done. Wish me luck :)

MoshiMoshi Babywear

The baby clothes and bags featured on http://www.moshimoshibaby.com or http://www.moshimoshibaby.com.au are sure to be a showstopper and make you the best baby shower gift-giver ever or alternatively make your baby the trendiest baby in town.

Not only will these "Asian Inspired" make unique gifts, the shopping experience will not leave you stressed. It's quick, easy and affordable and we update you every step of the way.The bonus of shopping here is that you don't have to fight people for carpark spaces as you can do it all from the privacy of your own home.

All products have been tested in real life by my gorgeous little girl, Ellie, as well as other little babies in our life. They have crawled, climbed, eaten and vomited in them & on them. They have also been washed and ironed to make sure you get the best product possible from us. If we find an outfit where we feel the washing label is incorrect, we will inform you.We are available to ALL areas of Australia (including rural & remote).

Delivery is extra but we have aimed at keeping this as affordable as possible. All items are sent by 'Fastway Couriers' or 'Registered Post' meaning reliable door-to-door service (rural areas included). This means that instead of sending the new mum and baby a bunch of flowers to the hospital, you can send them a MoshiMoshi baby present as we deliver to hospitals too (fast service in Brisbane only).

From our login section right through to final payment, we are 100% secure. This means that nobody can see your orders & details except you and the owners of MoshiMoshi.All prices include GST.

Payment can be made by either direct debit or by credit card via Paypal. Paypal is straight forward and easy to use. You don't need an account; just pay securely using your credit card. We have integrated PayPal into our website making it as easy as humanly possible.

Don't forget to include gift wrap at only $5 which features oriental style gloss paper with an origami folded paper band, a red chinese ribbon with gold characters & a chinese good luck coin. It looks too good to open.

We will be glad to hear any requests or comments from you so we can make sure our website is as user friendly as possible. Thank you so much for supporting our business!
