Surviving School Holidays
Happy Christmas! Ahead of me lies 6 more weeks of school holidays, which has me looking and feeling a bit like this: (photo taken the morning before I went into hospital to have Sarah!) Anyway, I’ve had a few ideas that might help me survive the crazy combination of the summer break and my puerperium. […]
Christmas Cake
I posted this recipe last year, but because we just cut into one of the cakes today, and it was so moist and sweet and rich and damn delicious, I decided to post the recipe again! I made this cake a few months before Christmas. My mum says fruit cakes are always better after a […]
Sarah Audrey Alice
Life is very beautiful! Sarah Audrey Alice was born safe and healthy on Wednesday, November 26 at 10:41pm, weighing 3190g (7lbs) and 50cm long. My labour was another quick one.

We had a morning tea party with some of her friends. It was a very nice morning! The children sat around […]
30 weeks
I’m finding it hard to believe I’m at this point already, but here I am. 30 weeks. This pregnancy – this year in fact – is going so very very quickly! I am well. I feel great actually, except for a case of fatigue. I’m so tired. My body feels heavy and by the end […]

This currently equates to lots of crafting. I’m immersing myself in craft. It has been so healing for me. And […]
