Well my to do list is looking pretty scary these days – top of the list is drawing winners of the last 2 giveaways I ran. Tonight, I promise. If I don’t fall asleep getting Elodie to sleep which is my usual habit. Anyway, today some fabric arrived on my doorstep and it means I […]

May 1, 2012 By 22 Comments
Once the craft room is cough cough unpacked and sorted, I have grand plans to do a bit of sewing and knitting this winter. I always have grand plans at the start of a new season but since I’ve just unpacked and put away clothes for 4 little people I know what they need this winter. […]

recently I was a little startled to receive a comment that my kitchen post offended someone because I go on about being an average family and the cost was not average. And so the criticism went on.

I might not have a fancy kitchen anymore. I might be cooking with a small mustard yellow worksurface and with appliances from 1972. But let me tell you that doesn’t stop me cooking delicious food. And for easter I treated myself to a copy of PW’s latest cooking book – it finally arrived in the […]

Sponsored by Nuffnang and Yoplait If there is one place my little ones love to visit it’s Taronga Zoo. I’m a little sad that we live so close and only visit once a year. And so when Yoplait asked me to plan a family day out I knew exactly where everyone in my little family would […]
