Sunset

“I didn’t ask for it to be over, but then again, I never asked for it to begin. For that’s the way it is with life, as some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance. But even the most beautiful days eventually have their sunsets.”

Lets Make Bread!

We like to make bread.
Sure we could go into town and pick up a loaf for around $2 but somehow it is not the same thing. Maybe it is the fact that we never have bread when we want it? Or that getting three kids dressed and in the car and then out and […]

Downhill slide!

Woohoo.. we are on the downhill slide towards a holiday!!!
Yep, we are having a real, honest to goodness, go somewhere nice, visit people we love, fly in a plane holiday!
Well ok only the kids and I are flying in the plane - the Baldy Boy left at the crack of dawn this morning to […]

Mincepuffs!

I know this blog has been a bit ‘food food’ of late but I just have to share this news with you all. I will never make regular hamburgers/rissoles ever again!
Earlier this week the Saving Mum newsletter popped into my email in box and it had a recipe in it for mince puffs. Since we […]

Thankful…

Grateful Friday is having a bit of a rest at the moment, but it is ANZAC Day today and while I fall very much on the side of ‘peace-loving anti-war hippy’ I feel compelled to post a little something anyway.

I am the first to admit that I suck at spelling and grammar… and I can’t […]

Almost Wordless Washing Day

“I believe you should live each day as if it is your last, which is why I don’t have any clean laundry, because, come on, who wants to wash clothes on the last day of their life?” - unknown

I’m the Luckiest Old Person Ever

Zoe - “Mamma…”
Me - “yes…”
Zoe - “You know how you are old….”
Me - “yes…”
Zoe - “When you die, we’ll have your ferneral (funeral) at Disneyland ok?”
Oh gee! I am the luckiest old person ever!

Food Porn??

I dunno.. maybe I am juvenile but the term ‘Food Porn’ just makes me giggle. It conjures up images of an over the top, slightly tacky, couple sitting at a dinner table loudly ‘mmmm-ing’ and ‘aaah-ing’ and oooooooooh-ing’ over every mouthful like some B grade movie. Still, I’ve been tagged for this Food Porn (*giggle*snort* […]

A few loose ends…

Time for a bit of blog keeping, I have a few loose ends that I keep forgetting to blog about…
Firstly, you may have noticed the images of groovy cloth nappies and accessories on my side bar? This month I am supporting Mommy Bee’s Etsy Shop Lilbees. This is not paid advertising - Mommy Bee is […]
