Full And Thorough Holiday Reporting

Full And Thorough Holiday Reporting

You guys, I have begun half a dozen blog posts in the last few weeks, and then they sit there in my drafts folder and go no further. I don’t know about you, but the summer holidays have whizzed by, and I’ve been back at work for a week now (insert sad face). I’m taking…

How To Survive A Road Trip With Kids

How To Survive A Road Trip With Kids

We are going for a long drive to Echuca, Bendigo, and Ballarat these holidays. I haven’t been there since I was 10 which was several years ago (ahem), but I’ve often wanted to take the kids there, and so we seized the moment, booked a few cabins, and are heading off on a six hour drive…

Our three children share a bedroom. That’s right; all three in one room. I was reading somewhere on the interwebs (and I cannot think where now for the life of me – if you read it too, let me know please so I can link it) about a family who was just starting the whole…

8 Tips For Sorting Kids Clothing

8 Tips For Sorting Kids Clothing

Here on the farm the seasons are very distinct. We have short hot summers, and long cold winters. This means that we really have very little overlap between our summer and winter clothing. Add to this the distance we need to travel to get clothes for the kids, and it becomes easier to do a…

Why Meal Planning Isn’t Working For Me Any More (And What I’m Trying Instead)

Why Meal Planning Isn’t Working For Me Any More (And What I’m Trying Instead)

Until recently I was a big fan of meal planning. I had been doing it for several years. Each month I would fill out our meal planning grid, listing every meal for the entire month on it. I loved that it took away the decision about what to make, and that I knew I had…
