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”

We’ve been preserving food for a while now. It’s such a great way to take advantage of the abundance of produce you get at certain things, at certain times of the year, and gives you access to produce year round. It’s also delicious! And you know what goes into it! We are so lucky inContinue reading “Preserving Olives”

Let’s talk about this bike. This might look like just a regular bike to you. It might even look like someone who’s taking its easy, riding an electric bike along the beach side track. But to me it’s freedom. This bike means is so much more than just this bike. In November 2019 I appliedContinue reading “My Bike”

We’ve been talking about doing this for almost 12 months, collecting inspiration on my Pinterest board. I’m not sure why it’s taken us so long but isolation was the perfect time to get a lot of little projects like this done. When we built the house we were so nervous about doing something wrong. Now,Continue reading “We Painted a Circle Headboard”

I came across Emma’s beautiful Stories Out Front Instagram account. It was a passion project she started while we were living in isolation. She decided to capture families out the front of their houses during these historical times we are living through. I sent her a message and said that I loved what she wasContinue reading “Stories Out Front”

I wrote about Monday Night Dinner in our meal plan earlier this week and thought it deserved some explanation. Monday night dinner is a Wollangarra thing. When you run Monday to Friday programs for up to 32 weeks of the year, it’s easier if you eat the same things for dinner each of those nights.Continue reading “Monday Night Dinner”

You know when you can’t find the words? Well I can’t. I’m struggling to find the words to write about this year. The fact that one blow is followed by another. As of March 2020 18.9 millions hectares had been burnt, communities decimated and businesses and homes lost. Australian’s banded together to raise funds, andContinue reading “Opening My Eyes”
