How does a weekend sans children and husband sound? How about a weekend put aside just to socialise, catch up with some of your favourite people, and even finish conversations? For me, last weekend...
A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013. Madison: That tooth fairy is visiting here quite a LOT lately! Noah: Two bread rolls are surely enough to fill that little tummy?...
It was Food Club time in my corner of the world. If you've heard of Food Club around here before, you'll know that it's one of my favourite times of the month. The theme on the weekend was Mother's...
There is nothing more fresh than the colours of citrus. I love the blend of oranges, neutrals, and whites. I think the combination is almost good enough to eat. Speaking of eating, I've eaten my...
A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013. Noah: Peek-a-boo! Hide and seek is so much fun. Madison: Absorbed in Lego world. Linking in with Jodi @ Che and Fidel.
Our long service leave is over. Our renovations have all but come to an abrupt stop. And we are home in Melbourne. Home. No more ocean walks, and ice cream stops. No more living amongst dust and...
This post should be called We've only renovated with children, and don't know any different or We renovated with children, and they survived. Because it's all totally true. Our very first...
A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013. Noah: In moments like this, I remember you're still my little boy. Madison: Your back as you whirl past. Linking in with Jodi @ Che and...
The sun came up over the norfolk pines, and I could tell. Today was going to be special. The wind was blowing while the ocean roared nearby. The early birds chirped their morning tunes and the...
A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013. Noah: Everything you do is full of wonder. You see the world through fresh, new eyes. Madison: You've learnt very early in life that to...
I saw this tonight, and just had to share. How do you see yourself? Is it the way others see you? Please watch this. You are more beautiful than you think.
Clockwise from the main compartment: wholemeal sandwiches with vegetarian sausages + tomato sauce | Babybel cheese + peanut butter cornflake biscuit | grapes | sliced cucumber | dried apricots....
If miracles don't exist, then why is it that today I had the best sleep in a girl could ever ask for? Perhaps my husband is an angel (or perhaps I was a complete ogre). But he fed the kids...
A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013. Noah: Skipping to the beach with your buckets and shovels. You can't wait to build a sandcastle!Madison: You've got the moves, and are...
How blessed am I? I have four incredible children, and one amazing husband. They are my world. Such diversity: little boy conversations that kill me with laughter and frustrate me to tears; grown...
Clockwise from main compartment: macadamia + pesto pasta salad with parmesan | grapes | apple sauce + carrot sticks | chicken crimpy biscuits | assorted non-gelatine jellies. Clockwise from main...
... we are still smiling. Just. The renovating is making life quite tricky - we're now living in one room and on top of each other. There is dust (lots of it), visitors too (which is divine). And...
It was high time we did a Fancy Pants for the men. You know, the little ones. These guys looked so cute in their coloured skinnies and flannel shirts, it was time to feature them. Of course, the...
A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013. Madison: To cool off, you sat in a tiny bucket of water. And then looked up at me like this. Noah: Far too big for a high chair, but...
The photos prove it: there has been a plethora of cooking in our little beach cottage. During the Easter long weekend, my step-daughter Leah and I were in the kitchen talking about this very thing;...
Becoming a member at the local DVD shop, booking the kids into swimming school during the holidays, and obtaining a library card were few of the things we did to feel more like locals this week....
A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013. Noah: It's such a rare thing when you are clean. And when you're sleepy, your big eyes stare, you blink slowly, and a back rub is all...
When my step daughter showed me a picture which said "Keep Calm and Hate Everyone," I knew I'd been really grumpy. I knew it would be like this. Because renovating is hard. There's the cramped...
This weekend was the Easter craft markets at Port Fairy. Thousands of people gathered to see the best of organic food, baked goods, take away food, and beautiful hand made crafts. We thought we'd...
The renovations are at their worst: no space for privacy while our family step over each other in the two tiny rooms we live in. But there is light at the end of the tunnel - and straight floors...
Mustard and grey. They're just beautiful together. An unusual friendship, but it works. See these jeans? Just $4 from my local op-shop. The tags were still on them. They fit like a glove, and I'm a...
A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013. Noah: Never too far behind me, either singing, "helping" or asking questions.Madison: Look what popped out last night!Leah: We're so...
One of the most rugged and wild sections of Victoria's coastline can be viewed at The Crags, just 12 kilometres west of Port Fairy. We enjoyed a morning there, but it could also be the perfect...
Roasting fruit: it's so simple, it's evil. Who on earth thought of it? Roasting anything brings out the best in most foods, and fruit isn't any different. You should try this recipe - it's amazing....
This week was full of lovely long walks, scooter rides, visits to the skate park, and the playground. That's because we had visitors of the grandparent kind. My mum and step-dad were shown the...
We are a little family of four who live in Brisbane, Australia.
