Easy peasy creamy tuna and veggie pasta bake
I’m sharing this recipe with you because my children enjoyed it so much that they began singing about how awesome I am and what a great chef I am. Although it is not original by any stretch of the imagination, and it is neither complicated nor time-consuming, it is a good hearty meal that children […]
Fabric Friday: repurposing
I received a large bag of little girls’ clothes last weekend. I rummaged through, taking a few items that I thought would be suitable for Elora. One item was a little sundress. It was sewn out of very pretty fabric, in a pillow case dress style, but the straps and binding were so frayed that […]
Homegrown – and another quiche recipe
Elora and I went out to the vegetable garden after taking Georgie and Matthew to school. We looked at how the veges are faring. Some of our Asian and lettuce mixes have either died or been taken by birds and instead of about 60 green plants we have about 30. Something has pecked off the […]

Slumber party cake

Georgie is nine!
Oh my! I remember this moment like it was nearly yesterday (but not quite): She was 3.6 kilos. When she was born, after a wonderful, 3 hour labour, I laughed and cried and cooed, and gasped in wonder and awe, and held her and felt like that was my purpose in life: to love her. […]
Learning to jump
Elora can jump. She has been practicing so much that she is quite the expert. I love it when toddlers start learning to jump. It looks like it is quite challenging at first: the heaves and hos that go into the process! It’s endearing. As I hold her hand and take her for little strolls, […]
