9 months
Well isn’t Sarah a big bundle of joy! She is such a busy bee. She crawls quickly, following me around everywhere. She seems much happier since she began crawling (over a month ago now, so she’s quite good at it!). I think she likes exploring a bit too much. She is pulling herself up on […]
PlaySchool
People who know me know that I love the children’s television show PlaySchool. As a teacher I can see the planning that goes into the show to educate and entertain children; to facilitate their learning through play and song; and to help parents learn how they can encourage their children to engage in imaginative play […]
Snow at Fangorn Farm!
We woke up on Monday, August 3, to the sight of snow lying thick all over our property. We were so excited. There was lots of squealing! Tasmania experienced a freak snow event, where it was snowing right down to sea level on Monday and Wednesday. We had snow resting on our property up to […]
Celery and Corn Soup
Hi! I have a moment to write a post because Sarah is asleep in her cot for the first time and I’m eating my dinner (this soup). The corn is sweet and crunchy, even though this has been on the stove for 6 hours. It’s sweet because of the creamed corn and sufficiently satisfying because […]
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 […]
Baked Beans
Our family loves this meal. There is something awesome and comforting about baked beans. There’s something even more awesome about homemade baked beans. If you like baked beans (or even if you don’t), you’ll most likely love this. Georgia doesn’t like canned baked beans, but she loves this! It’s just better than the canned […]
Waste-free nappies
We’re trying to reduce our waste, as you probably already know. It’s a big goal for us right now. I’ve used cloth nappies for all our babies, from terry squares to all-in-ones (nappies that contain the absorbent layers and waterproof outer layer in one piece, which is often adjustable in order to fit different sizes). […]
Bruny Island
We went to beautiful Bruny Island with Sarah, Russell, Isaac, Lily, Pauline, Denys, Ben, Milly and Harry. It’s such a wonderful place. We bought cheese at the Bruny Island Cheese Co – the only cheese factory that is licensed to make unpasteurised cheese. We went to The Neck, where we climbed the steps to […]
