We promised the girls before Christmas last year that we would be getting some chickens. It's been on my to-do list since we moved down here, what 2 and a half years ago now, and the nagging for a dog finally had to be put to bed. I am not ready for a dog, so chickens it is. It's been there with the … [Read more...]

Hayman Island

The last day of the conference was spent at the beautiful Hayman Island which has long been on my 'one day if I'm lucky I'll get there' travel destinations. I've spent many a moment drooling over photos of this resort online and through other people's photos but had heard that over the past few … [Read more...]

Deary me we had a great holiday. Between Melbourne and Mollymook the girls managed to catch up with every single one of their cousins and they loved each and every minute. The kids are all of an age now where they just head off together in a gang to do God knows what, for hours at a time. Any fights … [Read more...]

We got home this morning after 11 nights away. It was freezing when we got here but I immediately set to work doing that crazy thing I do when I get home from a holiday - unpack and restore domestic order to the house at a pace of a mad woman possessed. I unpacked. I washed. I vacuumed and dusted … [Read more...]

This weekend we are away down the coast with Rob's side of the family for a reunion of sorts - a coming together of all the cousins and Aunts and Uncles to spend a weekend together and remember Rob's Grandparents and Aunty.

New Dettol Mission for Health post up
April 19, 2013 by Leave a Comment
This month over at Dettol Mission for Health I'm talking about the hardest working ingredients in my kitchen. When I’m cooking for the girls I’m always looking for ways to use the same ingredient over and over again. It’s a good way to cut corners when you are pressed for time, it can also be … [Read more...]

Hot stuff I’ve got in Melbourne
April 15, 2013 by 32 Comments
Thank you all for your patience as I try to work out blogging from my new home. It's been a tricky few days, with lots of hiccups and learning, not helped by the fact that I've been more interested in offline life, than online. Hence my daily post at almost 9pm at night! I've had a lovely few days … [Read more...]
Road trippin’
April 12, 2013 by 3 Comments
There's nothing quite like a road trip is there? The driving through open countryside. The freedom. The feeling of escaping the everyday. And the noise from small people from the backseat demanding a snake, a drink of water, a book, a particular song, ANOTHER round of eye spy or "I went to the … [Read more...]

Hello there! Do you like what we’ve done here? As I like to say a little spruce up and now the old girl is now “fresh as THE DAY”. The change took a lot longer than we initially thought and I have to apologise for the blog silence here all week. I started blogging almost 7 years ago now with a … [Read more...]

About Me
I am Beth. Just Beth. Although since we have moved to the country a few years ago I am considering changing my name to Bev. Because I've won a ribbon at the local show and EVERYTHING! But I guess that's fast forwarding a little. As Coldplay said, let's go back to the start. Almost 10 years ago now … [Read more...]

Something has happened at home which has me in quite a spin. Here, have a look. My very favourite possession in the house, my beloved aqua wing back is starting to fade. And by fade, I mean split and wear out. I fear we have some upholstery to do in our very near future. This chair was … [Read more...]

You wouldn't want to be Kim Kardashian for quids would you? I've never seen such attention on maternity wear, or lack thereof. She's been partial to the odd spank wearing, which I have to say, makes me get into a red hot panic. I'm get a little claustrophobic in them at the best of times, let alone … [Read more...]

Whole families can be made, careers changed a few times over, technologies developed, new lives started over. 8 years ago today Rob and I were married on Easter Saturday on the front lawn of Rob's Dad's farm. It was a perfect Autumnal afternoon where the light is a … [Read more...]

It's very quiet here on a Monday and Tuesday. It's my chance to get lots done, so of course I get nothing done. All that quiet is unnerving. My to do list that grows longer by the hour will be tackled just as soon as they get home and start demanding food. Because it makes … [Read more...]
