Well the day has arrived! My bag is packed and I’m heading off for a couple of nights to attend ProBlogger. I always tell other bloggers that this is the biggest and best blogging conference in australia and it seems to be getting more popular each year. 450 bloggers in the one place this Friday […]
{Keep Reading...}Against all Grain – a review
Things have been a bit quiet on the blog this week! Trying to organise myself for problogger, buy the big items for the kitchen like appliances, the sink and tiles since kitchen rip out is in 14 days (but who is counting!), helping keira with her poster on chinese paper folding (oh the facts I […]
{Keep Reading...}a quilt at the last minute
I like to think that I’ve perfected the art of working at the last minute. Memories of staying up late in high school and printing off assignments while the rest of the family was having breakfast. Remember those old printers that would go back and forth and you’d have to walk away and find something […]
{Keep Reading...}I’d love your recipes
Well in a week or so I’m taking a little blogging break, just one week. I never take a break from blogging or my computer but retro daddy has a few weeks off work and is insisting that I switch off too. Well I’ll still be on instagram, can’t give up everything. We’re taking elodie […]

{Keep Reading...}holy vignette
Yesterday, keira and I had a few hours together. Anyone who has a few little ones knows that one on one time is pretty special and keira loves it. We did mass then her confirmation group – of which I am the leader. Nervous? yes. Thankfully it went fine, we finished earlier than expected which […]
{Keep Reading...}The Spunky Coconut Cookbook – a review
Well I decided that if I was going to try a gluten and dairy free diet (background here) then I’d need a few books because I have one gluten free cookbook in my little library of cookbooks. And that is my thermomix one and there aren’t many pretty pictures. And I love pretty pictures and […]
{Keep Reading...}bacon, lentil and vegetable slice (gluten + dairy free)
Now for me, eggs and cheese just go together. Omelette and frittata always need cheese in them but since I’ve been doing a few recipes without the cheese I haven’t missed it. Too much. OK, give me a while and I’ll be hanging out for some danish feta or vintage cheddar. I’m not trying to […]
