I received a great message last week from a lovely reader Katie that I knew would make a great post. Do I do laundry every day? Pretty much! I have a 9.5kgs top loader and a huge hills hoist and I keep them both busy almost every day of the week. I might skip a day […]
{Keep Reading...}end of the holidays
Well our school holidays are coming to an end and today certainly made me realise that. Rugby was back on, then swimming, then netball was back on, volunteering at the Bunnings bbq for a few hours then more swimming lessons to round out the day. Uniforms need to come out again and our 3 lazy weeks at […]
{Keep Reading...}welcome to my shop
One of the things that I love most in the world……after my beautiful family and home life……….is craft. And I’ve missed having lots of fabric in the house and buying the latest ranges, going to trade shows and just being around fabric. So I have a little store again here and even the kids are […]

{Keep Reading...}how to take all the kids to the supermarket
One thing I don’t do very often is take everyone grocery shopping. My preference is to take a maximum of 2 but it’s school holidays, daddy was working interstate, we were down to our last nappy, we needed more fruit and snacks to get through the week and I had to go here is how we […]
{Keep Reading...}Natural Baby by Patons
I probably don’t need any more baby knitting books (you should see my collection!!!) but I couldn’t resist this one when it came up in my Facebook feed last week. So many baby pattern books are in 4 ply so I was loving that there was a great mix of 8 ply knits in this […]
{Keep Reading...}carrot + coriander soup with lemon and yoghurt
This post is brought to you by Woolworths The weather has definitely got chilly here and the central heating is on. We haven’t braved the fireplace yet but it’s definitely cold and my thoughts turn to soup for dinner. Mind you not all of the family considers soup a dinner but I do. This is […]
