This week I’ve been a real worry wart. It started out with my stomach being sore from the after effects of gastro. Once that stopped I found a lump on the back of my head which I now think was either a bruise or I imagined it. My silly brain started to make up what [...]

The other day our local ‘community hub’ as they are calling it (the newly built library and the buildings attached) put on a special free morning. They had this animal farm (pictured), craft and playdough for the kids, free brochures, free morning tea for the Mums and kids and a few little giveaways. I think [...]

Yay! We grew some beetroot! We have a lot of trouble with bugs in our garden so its been nice to have some fresh produce. The girls and Michael picked these ones yesterday and there are some more in there to pick still. We’re going to make this beetroot dip over the summer. I’ve just [...]

Every night before bed we bring in our budgie ‘babybird’ (named by Miss K). The other night I caught the shadow of him in his cage and tried to snap a shot of it. I tell you, its quite difficult to take a photo using your left hand while holding up a heavy cage with [...]

Yesterday we went out to East Vic Park to buy some things at a cake shop. We discovered however that the cake shop had closed down so I went into Jacksons instead (to buy FIMO of course!). We also went to a couple of great op shops there and I picked up this little pink [...]

As I mentioned last week I wanted to continue on this week with the theme of ‘fruit’. I did manage to do it more justice although its the sort of theme you could do a hundred different things with really. As you can see above we went to the library and picked up some [...]

Both the girls returned these trays about half full, they weren’t quite well enough to eat much of their lunch yet. Its so hard to tell though, one time they’re saying they are hungry and the next they don’t have the energy to eat. Oh well! As you can see there’s three different fruits on [...]

So. Another week of recovery. Sounds depressing BUT I am finally feeling after three weeks of it all dragging on that we are almost all better. Spring has sprung and we are enjoying the warm weather a bit more. So, no more talk of sickness, I’m hoping that will be our last large bout of [...]

Yep. Spring has arrived right on time here in Perth. Actually it turned up early a few weeks ago and now we have a beautifully flowering garden. All the flowers above came out of our garden, I just love the ‘cottage-like’ feel of it.
Out the back we have beautiful blossoms on our stone-fruit trees as [...]

Yesterday I forgot to blog!! Yep was distracted with something else (that was worrying me) but today I’m much better so I’m catching up. This was what my hubby found yesterday in our garden. Obviously we haven’t looked at our vege patch properly (mainly because we’ve all been distracted with sickness I think) for a [...]
