Good morning friends! Here we are at the start of another new week...IN MAY! Last week was a bit of a write off for me as I was so busy with the shop for Mother's Day that I hardly had time to scratch myself. I'm not sure that this week will be much better...but we can only try! I do know that I … [Read more...]

You guys! Rob is home! That means that the pressure is off me for a little bit as I can share the load of work and parenting....life! Last week was FULL ON with so much new stuff in the shop, lots of kid stuff and of course the show and Yabby Day on the weekend...I am exhausted! But we are here … [Read more...]

Last week I cooked some salmon for our dinner. All 4 of us (Daisy can't do seafood for whatever reason despite loving it when she was little) LOVED it and I wondered (again) why I don't cook more of it during the week? I know it might have a little to do with budget and practice but I am going to … [Read more...]

Good morning friends. Here we are AGAIN. How does it happen? I had the Sunday night blues baaaaaad last night - it's just that all of a sudden it's Friday night and then you blink and it's Sunday night. How?! HOW I ASK YOU. Anyway, here we are, time to buck up and get on with it. Here's some ideas … [Read more...]

Man is it cold here at the moment. Beautiful, sunny days (that seem endless where is the poor rain for all the farmers?) but freezing (literally) nights and mornings where we churn through the wood and the heating seems to be on endlessly. It's rinse and repeat for weeks on end. So this week I am … [Read more...]

In my nurturing and looking after myself of late I have been trying to eat a little better. I've been drinking LOADS of water (which I struggle with), and getting as many greens into all of us as I can sneak in. We're away this week which will likely mean lazy cooking and eating out more than we … [Read more...]

Good morning friends from the chilly and dreary Southern Highlands. We have had a very cold weekend with a freezing wind and this morning, a little rain. The central heating AND fire is roaring this morning as I sit huddled under a blanket in the darkness before the kids wake up. This morning … [Read more...]

It's this time of the year that I always see pictures of gluts of tomatoes and zucchinis (and the preserving that goes on) from people's bountiful veggie gardens and I think...next year I will get around to it! I thought that I would share some of my fave zucchini recipes from the blog for those of … [Read more...]

Whilst the calendar is telling me that Spring will be here later in the week (how?!) it most definitely feels like winter here this morning (felt like -4.5 when I was first up this morning) and yesterday afternoon we even got a small snow shower! What better way to warm up then to add a decent hit … [Read more...]

I will tell you something for nothing: there is NO place like home. None! For a homebody like me, I am feeling very happy to be home with every member of our family under the one roof. I bet today I will spend the day restoring order and baking and making a delicious home cooked meal for everyone … [Read more...]

Monday morning again? HOW?! After a busy weekend of socialising I am happy to be here with a regular Monday ahead of me, piles of washing and a busy week to get stuck into. It's our first full week of the term so I will be looking for simple family meals that we usually eat. I'm talking standard … [Read more...]

It's so easy to get into the same old weekly eating habits. I rarely choose fish when I am on auto pilot, and yet when I am really focused on eating well and trying to make good food choices, I always find myself choosing fish and seafood as a way to get delicious food onto plates with little … [Read more...]

Hello friends, how are you this Monday morning? We've got another wet and dreary day here today and for the 3rd day in a row now...a jumper on! How good is that?! Here we are staring down at another week filled with things to do, people to see, work to do, walks to walk. I'm excited that it's going … [Read more...]

After a weekend of excess eating and cough, drinking, it's time to get back on board this week with some healthy eating. Bonus for me is that Rob is away all week so it will give me a chance to eat LOTS of extra veggies without having to watch him push it around the plate. So what's the top of his … [Read more...]

The one thing I miss living down here is really good Asian food. There are a few places to get food but it's not that fresh, crisp taste that I like with Asian food - lots of herbs and a mixture of spicy, salty, sour and sweet that I like - more like fried and a little MSG. Anyway, it means that I … [Read more...]

After 10 days away from home and about 1 million hot chips later, we are all most ready for some home cooking and NO MORE HOT CHIPS. Well, maybe that's just me. I feel revolting after eating and drinking way too much, so this week it's time to get back into the swing of normal life...bring it … [Read more...]

Somehow it's afternoon already?! How was your weekend friends? We had a reasonably quiet one - the weather was misty, dark and cool all weekend with a little rain (certainly not the amounts we were lead to believe though). And now here we are at Monday again? Bluergh...I am NOT feeling it. I … [Read more...]
