A little mishap…
Last night I decided to bake some Christmas nut cakes. Or, rather, nutty Christmas cakes. And I also decided to try to write 4000 words in under 2 hours. And then, this happened: Turns out I am quite the nut! I remembered about these beauties at 3:00am. Only 6 hours too late. What a waste! […]
More on writing
I couldn’t get to sleep last night. Things to write about were whirring around my head again. Plus, it was really windy, and I was worried about the washing that I had left out on the line all day (easy to forget about the washing when you are crafting with your children, and thinking and […]
I think I can…
Maybe I can reach the 50k target afterall. I’m still trying, even though the outlook over the next 10 days looks a bit strenuous. Today I wrote over 4100 words for NaNoWriMo. I had had an interesting day, to say the least. It was raining and I was inside with the children. We had a […]

Huon Show 2011

Chocolate fudge
Do you remember my post about the chocolate brownie in a mug? You can read about it here. One of my friends made a dig at me for passing on that recipe to her, saying it helped her find some kilograms that she had lost. Easy to do! She still loves me :) Well, This […]
More healthy snacking…
If it’s there, kids will eat it, right? If they grow it, they’ll eat it, right? In our quest to provide tempting healthy snacking treats for our children, snow peas are all the rage. If you know how sweet food is, when picked straight from the tree/vine/bush/etc, then it will come as no surprise to […]
