Oh surprise, surprise – I have a market on Saturday and I still have a mountain of jobs to do before then. Some things will never change. But I love markets and do my best work at the last minute. And it got me thinking that it’s been almost 2 years that I’ve been doing markets and […]

A lot of fun happens when ladies get together for a day…………of craft! You can sit next to someone new and find something to talk about and a new friend is made. There was lots of talking, lots of sewing, lots of quilting and a bit of eating. I arrived with boxes of blocks and […]

Well today was a bit of a crazy day as Saturdays usually are and I’m baking lunch for our Quilting day and doing the laundry at 11.24pm so it never ends here.

August 19, 2011 By 14 Comments
Today is retro daddy’s birthday. He turns 36 and isn’t he a lucky boy getting an iPad for his birthday. He works very hard and is always on his laptop but I thought it would be great if he could read his newspapers, read my blog (ha ha), get family photos and have online time away from […]

Well never underestimate the power of a 3 year old. Finn is known to take my iphone and play games, look up things on the internet (I know, don’t ask me how) and play previews of movies and songs. Then there was the time he took pictures of himself and posted them on a lovely lady’s […]

Over the weekend I had to go through my photos for a magazine story I’m participating in. It was fun, embarrassing and a trip back in time to go right back to school photos of myself. I also wish everything was digital so I could do it from the comfort of the couch. But my favourite […]

{Keep Reading...}honey, fruit + muesli balls

Sometimes, just sometimes, I like a treat that is good for me. It’s generally the days I’ve been to the gym and want something sweet but know I shouldn’t eat chocolate since I’ve just sweated myself silly jumping around for an hour. We’re all sweet tooths in this house (with the exception of Finn) so this recipe […]

A few of you have asked me on facebook what my little ones eat for dinner! And I have to tell you that they like their food simple. Nothing remotely spicy, saucy or too green. One of their favourites (and mine too because it’s so easy) is this simple frittata. It doesn’t get easier than this […]
