You’ve seen it, it’s perfect and you know you must have it!
You know you shouldn’t treat yourself so you’ll have to wait for a birthday, anniversary or special treat!
But how can you make sure hubby gets it right?
Mr Uber who often gets it wrong, has come up with the perfect answer – The Hubby Hint Button!
The Hubby Hint Button will not only make sure you get what you want but it will make shopping easy for your partner.
Just click the Hubby Hint button on the piece you want and we’ll send hubby an email with the details.
It’s that easy! Go on….give it a try! www.uberkate.com.au

Mrs Woog has just launched her first E-book on parenting.. titled “Mrs Woog Tales from the Front Line” Pop across to her blog and have a read.. be prepared for tears (funny ones) KX

Has anyone else caught the renovating bug? After my obsession with The BLOCK series this year I have been inspired to go out and do my white card and my home owner/ builder certificate… I love chicks that can renovate and plan on being one!
Shelly Craft is someone who I admire for her work/ life balance and the fact that she will get in there and give anything a go.. I also admire entrepreneurs who create tools to help us amateurs out.. and Shelley Craft and her hubby have just designed The Builder APP to take the leg work out of finding a tradie or supplier for any job – ie changing light globes, to picking a site manager to take charge of your whole renovation. We all know how frustrating it can be to source tradespeople! If you need helping finding someone for a job in your home it might just be worth having a look…

Being a former TV producer it’s not very often that a TV show completely obsesses me…but I have officially this year become a “blockaholic”.
This series has captivated me because of the four couples, each diverse as the next, that have made TV gold.
I have loved watching the frank barnies between Josh and Jenna.. they behave towards each other the way we all do sometimes behind closed doors.. lucky for us we got to see it all and they gave us everything.
Oh (sigh) “The Girls” or “The Mums” they have been like watching my sister and I navigating a reno together while being away from our partners and kids.. they have melted down, cried a lot, danced a lot and been completely “real”.
Rod and Tania- what a gorgeous, loving couple.. they inspired me to be kinder towards my own hubby and Tania reminded me that you can get your own way with your hubby if you “kill him with kindness” and constantly refer to him as “honey” even when you really want to stab him in the eye with a wooden stake.
The cutest couple award has to go to Polly and Waz- they remind me of the early days in my own relationship with my hubby, all the cute names, and all the optimism of youth, and their infectious excitement at every turn the show took. Can you two invite me to your wedding? I will make you an amazing piece of jewellery as a wedding present..!
I don’t actually care who wins the show on tonight but I will have my arse glued to the couch because I can’t wait to see all their faces during the auction.
I handmade and sent each of the women on the show a bangle as a lifelong reminder of all they achieved in eight weeks. I hope they each wear their bangles in the nursing home when they are old and grey and recount the amazing things they did in their lives.
To all of the contestants on “The Block 2011” good luck tonight… I have loved watching you all,
Uberkate X

With Father’s Day just around the corner, I thought I should fill you in on what little goodies I have designed for our Uberdads.
This year I have designed a Money Clip which is the perfect gift for the executive Dad as it’s something he can use everyday.
The Money Clip design features soft lines and personalised embossing of the father’s loved ones.
My inspiration for this piece is my Dad. He is always fumbling for money or trying to stuff his wallet into tight pant pockets. The Uberkate Money Clip will solve both these problems and give him a stylish accessory.”
The front of the Money Clip can be embossed with up to 15 letters or dates and the back has room for a small message of up to 10 characters.
The Uberkate Money Clip is available for the special price of $285 and if the order is placed before the 1st of September 2011, customers will also receive an exclusive Uberkate leather key holder valued at $45.
However if the Money Clip is not for you I also have designed a range of cufflinks, necklaces and key rings, all of which can be personalised for your family. For further details, visit our website www.uberkate.com.au
Happy Shopping!

Recently, I have been truly touched by the generosity and love of our sisterhood.
Last Thursday, Mr Uber and I attended the “Gold lunch” at Hugo’s in Manly, for the Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick. These are a series of lunches, which aim to raise $700,000 for sick and injured children. We have donated “Family Tree” Pendants to be auctioned at three of these lunches to help reach this target.
The lunch was amazing and I couldn’t get over the generosity of those who attended. People really dug deep especially after we heard an inspirational story about a little girl called Charlotte who is fighting a brain tumour. Following this story, I watched a loving mother bid for a children’s birthday party, which she purchased for $2000. I then watched this beautiful woman go and give the prize to Charlottes mum.
I was totally overwhelmed and blown away by this woman’s kindness. If you would like to donate to this worthwhile cause I urge you to visit their website http://www.goldweek.org.au/content/home.aspx
