This sight can regularly be found in our kitchen: multiple loaves of bread opened and at various degrees of being eaten. The bread I try to eat – you know the kind, that has the look and consistency of mud crust on the bottom of your shoe, but damn it all it’s HEALTHY – is…
It was this blog’s 7th birthday yesterday. Below is the picture from my first post and another I took on Saturday to put side by side and illustrate just how much has changed over this time. (Saturday’s photo took some pleading to get as Keira is a sick little chook at the moment.) But isn’t…
I’ve always been open and transparent about my dealings with brands here on the blog. You’ll find a pretty frank Disclosure policy over on my About page (if you haven’t seen it already) that outlines certain things – like how I handle third-party sponsored content, for example.

Gracious, it’s been forever since I’ve participated in an old-school meme. Laurie tagged me the other week and because we are friends and, well, I wanted to, I’m going to do it – because yay! books. Book Q&A Rules 1. Post these rules 2. Post a photo of your favourite book cover 3. Answer the…
Before anything else, let me describe the past 24+ hours. I’d spent the weekend getting organised for the week ahead, even going so far as laying out uniforms for the kids to last the duration.
