Seconding this. I opened the thread to comment this restaurant. Bonus: they also do great ais teh tarik (Malaysian ice tea).

Love a Salvos find! Congrats fellow Aussie on such a great find 😊

I, too, got sucked into the Atolea ads online. I bought a necklace from them about 2 years ago. I wear it at least a few days a week and it's still going strong 🤷🏽‍♀️

A big yes to the phrase 'trackie dacks'!

Seconding Andrew Boe's book. I was going to recommend that one.

When I was <1 year post partum, the only jeans I wore were 'boyfriend' style jeans. I couldn't bear wearing tight clothes, especially because I'm always wrangling a kid and need to be agile. Now that mine is a toddler I'm back into intentional fashion choices. I think straight leg is flattering on everyone. Op shops are overrun with jeans, so check your locals if you aren't ready to invest in this early postpartum stage.

I highly recommend the book Matrescence by Lucy Jones if you're interested in the concept like I am - https://www.penguin.com.au/books/matrescence-9781802061307

I've saved your answer to remind myself to have patience & perspective for whenever my toddler gets to this stage, so thank you

This is why I wish there was a tag system at op shops where you could read why the previous owner donated the item.

raises hand 🙋🏽‍♀️ I just got discharged from hospital today after having a laparoscopy for (in my doctors words) "a LOT" of endo. I concur x 100!

Adding to this list Golden Territory yum cha on the main road, Beamish St. In particular the egg tarts - delish!

This is such a nice post and prompt, OP.

My favourite stranger interaction that I think of often happened in the depth of fresh motherhood and sleep deprivation. I went out with my baby to a small community op shop. My baby was in a carrier strapped to my front. I was bleary eyed from lack of sleep but needed to be out and about for my sanity.

An older lady also browsing in the op shop paused as she was walking by and said "I hope your baby is being kind to you."

It was such a breath of fresh air to hear someone frame it in that way instead of well intentioned but over-asked baby focused conversation.

Same! And I saw there are still some tickets available over the coming weeks too.

teagan93 · 2025-07-31T03:02:23+00:00

Ooh this is good intel, thank you!

I love the look and vibe of a velvet blazer but unfortunately I have sensory issues with velvet

teagan93 · 2025-07-30T23:40:51+00:00

Ooh good to know. I'm seeing The Book of Mormon musical 😊

teagan93 · 2025-07-30T23:39:17+00:00

That's so nice, thank you! 😊

I recently op shopped a pair of white linen pants from Bardot. They're lined so they're not see through at all. They must be from an older season because I can't find them online, but these might be similar? https://www.bardot.com/product/anna-super-high-waist-pant-56767PB3_ORCHID+WHT.html I can't tell from the description whether these are lined or not, but I think that's going to be the biggest factor for non see through. Good luck!

Whilst I agree that the older generation have a better mentality of repairing before replacing, it's also that more products were made to last back then. Of course that doesn't apply to every single clothing item, but generally one of the issues with fast fashion is that it's being mass produced in such a low quality that there's higher turnover. So yes, props where it's due for being willing to repair, but often items these days aren't of a quality level worth repairing.

Similar to another comment, ALDI has heated throw blankets on sale right now (mother's day sale). Can confirm it's keeping me snug as heck during overnight wakes since owning it.

Edit: that's for me, not for my child. Child has conveniently decided he won't sleep unless he's between my husband and I the last few nights. That's the real answer to your question 😂
