Well we still have one month of school holidays ahead of us so I’ve been sitting down working out a few weeks worth of meal plans. You’ll note I put whether they are vegetarian or gluten free or if there is an option to change the recipe. We eat quite a lot of veggie recipes […]
{Keep Reading...}meal planning – week 1
With Christmas Day behind us and a New Year coming up this Sunday, I’ve decided to get serious about my meal planning. When I’m not busy then I meal plan for the week but when things are busy, end of year or kids are sick it all falls away. My hope for next year because we […]
{Keep Reading...}wishing you a happy + holy Christmas
It’s nearly time for Christmas and this year I’ve been so aware of how much suffering has been going on around us. Just in the week leading up to Christmas there has been so much sadness in our community. Funerals for mums who have sadly lost their lives, twin toddlers who drowned and are in […]

{Keep Reading...}school is out for the year!
Yes we have officially finished at our two schools and our homeschool too. We survived the year. And what a year it’s been. We had one in year 5, one in kindy and my twins who left school to be homeschooled for year 2. Homeschooling………..not for the faint hearted but so worthwhile. If I’ve learnt […]
{Keep Reading...}a bit more fabric added just before Christmas
I had an unexpected box of fabric arrive on Friday. And I am just loving and itching to cut into Just Another Walk in the Woods by Stacy Iest Hsu. The panel is similar to Lil Red and you can make two sweet dolls, two animals, a little quilt and a pillow. I’m throwing in […]
{Keep Reading...}Christmas craft project for your Christmas tree
