You know those perfect days, weekends of just normal, wonderful life? Well last weekend was one of those. The days flew by far too quickly, but if every day could be like these few days then I’d be a very happy woman. The had marshmallows, nibble platters, friends drop by, lazy mornings in bed withContinue reading “A really lovely weekend in photos”

Elliot’s lunch box broke, on the second last day of term. We got him a lunch box from Stuck on You in 2017, it had his name printed on it and it was great for occasional care and kinder, and then the first 6 months of school. But last week the hinges broke. and theContinue reading “Make do and mend, or buy smart.”

There’s been a lot of learning moments this year. The biggest one by far has been the movement around Black Lives Matter. It has become very apparent to me that I’m completely uneducated when it comes to our Indigenous Australians. And so, I’m learning, reading, watching and listening to everything I can. I came acrossContinue reading “Educating Myself”

When Jay and I met, one of our first conversations was about how much I liked a good discussion. A conversation that you could really get passionate about. I wanted to talk about how the world worked, and politics and why we should save old growth forests. I wanted to learn from every conversation. OverContinue reading “Reflex”

During isolation I had the time to film some videos for my brand new sourdough ecourse. I’ve been wanting to release an online sourdough course for some time. I wanted to be able to have a bread baking community with easy to follow videos and a space where people can ask questions and share photosContinue reading “Sourdough Ecourse”

I’m writing this post from my dining table, on my phone because the idea of walking to get my computer is exhausting. You see I worked today, and I ran out of spoons. When I first heard of the spoon theory I dismissed it. Not for me. Firstly, spoons, seriously! Secondly, I’m fine. But theContinue reading “The Spoon Theory”

My mum bought Elliot a beautiful mustard Kip&co bean bag many years ago now. It got filled with polystyrene balls. When we moved to Wollangarra we left the bean bag at Mum and Dads. When we returned, the bean bag was returned to us, but time and use had made it flat. And I refusedContinue reading “Sustainable Bean Bag Filling”

I’ve always loved putting on an outfit that makes me feel great. I feel like clothes can lift up your mood, or support you’re already great feeling. Not too long ago I was getting dressed and realised that there was nothing I’d wanted to wear. For so long I’d been at Wollangarra, wearing ‘farm’ andContinue reading “Updating My Wardrobe”

I don’t enjoy eating lunch. Often I’ll eat a late breakfast, then snack on something late afternoon and then just hold out until dinner. So I’m trying to do better and eat lunch. At the moment I’m loving having a broth, inspired by Jo Whitton from her Life Changing Food cookbook, for lunch. I getContinue reading “My Current Favourite Lunch”

I’ve been baking a lot of bread recently to share with friends and family and wanted to have a good way to easily wrap them to hand them out or leave at door steps. So when I was meditating the other day I had this vision of cloth bags made from flat sheets that we’veContinue reading “Thrifty Bread Bags”

Today I baked really bad bread. It doesn’t happen often, I’ve been baking sourdough for 7 years or so, but it does happen. I was baking some loaves for a few friends, I had six to bake. I used the dough scraper to scrape the dough onto the bench, shaped it and let it doContinue reading “Really Bad Bread”

“Self care, what buzz words they’ve become, and it feels like a whole lotta fun. Take care of myself you say,  eat right, drink water, meditate each day. Hashtag self love, hashtag epsom salts, hashtag have you seen the results. Dance like no body’s watching, keep doing all the things, without those balls dropping.  But,Continue reading “Self Care – A Poem”
