I hear it’s going to reach 34 degrees here on Sunday! Summer is coming! I think a trip to Manly for some Ben & Jerry’s is in order (triple caramel chunk just in case you were wondering what my flavour is). But thankfully warmer weather also means salads for me. I’m more than happy to […]

Short break from kitchen renovation talk as I’ve got a few recipes to share. Last Christmas I was given an amazing little cookbook ‘Vegan Cupcakes take over the World’. Now I’m not vegan (I have been a couple of times in my lifetime) but this book is just full of so many great recipes that […]

Well I’m happy to report that I’m up and at ’em this morning! I hate being sick so am glad to be feeling almost normal this morning. I don’t have the energy to do my usual step class so instead am going to use the time to hunt down a few more essentials for the […]

November 2, 2011 By 24 Comments
Well nothing is happening here today renovation wise. Which is just as well as I have picked up the same bug that went through the rest of the family. I’m lying on the couch while retro daddy tops up my lemonade. But I do also have an important job…………..choose a new dining setting. I thought […]

Bored yet? I hope not but the builders aren’t coming for 2 days so I have to think of something else to blog about for a couple of days. I also get to relax a bit more and enjoy a little peace and quiet. So day 6 saw the ceilings go in. What a difference. […]

Now I’ve decided to count my renovation days as the days when work is actually being done as it will be easier to archive rather than telling you that on day 54 nothing happened! So day 5 is Saturday and the lovely electrician Drew was here doing all the power and lighting for the new space. […]

I’m really missing baking at the moment as I try to lose a little weight so I’m on the hunt for healthy baking recipes, found one but needed to jazz it up a bit and the finished product……delicious. A real winner with some butter or margerine on it. The kids and I are loving it […]

Woohoo! Another finished cardigan for little Elodie. I’m on a roll. This is actually the third baby kina I’ve knit but the first for Elodie. It’s such a sweet and easy pattern. Knit all in one piece from the top down. You just need to know how to knit, purl, increase and do some yarn […]

Well day 4 was a bit crazy for me. It’s Thursday and that is generally my day! I do step class, the shops and a few errands without the kids. Our lovely Fernanda minds the little ones. Today I did half an hour at the gym so I could then make a trip to the lock […]
