Oh boy! Don’t you love it when you are psyching yourself up to cook dinner, put out the rubbish bins, tidy the loungeroom, bath the kids and you walk out the letterbox and it looks like a parcel is in there. Woohoo you know it must be for you but you totally forgot you bought something…………and […]
{Keep Reading...}best ever cold frittata
July 13, 2011 By 8 Comments
Now normally I like my frittata hot but this is so good cold. Retro daddy says so and he’s a little bit critical of my food. It’s one of my ‘throw together with what I have in the fridge’ dishes but it really works. And it was soooo good to eat when we were delayed […]

Home day, cleaning day, pyjama day, we’re not going anywhere day. Whatever you call it – we’re having one.

Well we survived our first big roadtrip as a family of 6! Thank goodness for DVD players, Tangled, Princess & the Frog, Toy Story and other long movies which kept little people quiet. Couch potato quiet. Oh and happy meals at McDonalds, parks to run around, lolly snakes, mummy’s rocky road and diet coke. It actually wasn’t […]

July 6, 2011 By 16 Comments
Well today there are no pretty recipes or craft projects as we get ready for a roadtrip. An almost 10 hour roadtrip. But it’s for a family wedding so totally worth it. I don’t think I could do this trip if it was for anything else. But there is a nice side trip planned to Bendigo for […]
