Keeping Rabbits for meat
Our rabbits, Clover and Thumper, are Brittish Giant x New Zealand Giant White rabbits, and are bred for meat. Our girls are about 6 months old and they’re adorable. We got them from some friends who raise rabbits. We decided to try rabbits again for several reasons. Firstly, after Naigee died a few months ago, […]
Goals: revisited
The beautiful Swansea, east coast of Tasmania Back in January I wrote this post about my goals for the year. I have been remembering these goals throughout the year, so I thought I’d do a re-cap about them to show you how crap I am at sticking to them. Decluttering: I am gradually going through everything, […]
7 months
Wow! Seven months already! Sarah has been sitting on her own for 2 months or so, and she loves sitting up to play with her toys. This week I removed the toy arch from one of her play mats. She has grown out of it. Such is life. She loves noisy toys, and she […]

34 weeks
There’s not long until I give birth to this precious baby. This pregnancy has been the best ever, and the quickest ever! I’m so grateful for that. This pregnancy has also brought so much healing to my family and me. Physically I feel pretty enormous and uncomfortable right now, which is pretty standard. I’m tired […]
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 […]
Thank you for stopping by! I'm Rebecca, a mother of four children, living on a hobby farm in the strawbale house we built in southern Tasmania. Our long term goal is to be self sufficent. As we work towards that, I also spend my time doing crafty things, cooking and spending time with our children, whilst on leave from teaching.
