Family Time

Things I Don’t Do That Keep Life Simple

From time to time I get emails asking me how I “do it all?”. How do I balance the whole work/family/farm/life thing and still keep our life simple? The truth is that very often I don’t. Or should I say we don’t, because living simply is a whole family exercise. It’s not just down to…

Holidaying

Hello from Narooma, on the South Coast of NSW. It’s one of our favourite spots to get away, and we have been here almost every year since we moved to the farm. We’ve finally made it to the holidays! The last week of term seemed like a sprint, with so much to do, and not nearly…

Taking Stock | March 2016

It’s been a long summer here on the farm. Long, and hot, and dry. So dry. On Friday we finally had some rain, and it feels, somehow, as though the season has changed. Autumn is here. The last few weeks have been crazy. The local show, a trip to Dubbo for Hannah and I so…

Starting School

I started blogging just after Toby turned one, so it seems hardly possible, but my little chap is off to big school for the first time this week. He is joining his sisters at the little school in the village. We are as ready as we will ever be in terms of the stuff we…

Honey Spice Biscuits

One of the things I love about having primary aged children, is that they are so much more independent than littlies. It is truly amazing being able to hop in the car without having to do up multiple seat belts, and I even occasionally (not always) get to go to the toilet without interruption (now…

Things We Like | The Summer Holiday 2016 Edition

The best thing about summer holidays?? OK, there are lots of great things, but one thing that I love is that it gives us a chance to read, play board games, watch movies, and generally relax. The aftermath of Christmas means we usually have a few new toys to try out as well. So here…

Summer Fruit Picking

January around these parts always means fruit picking. Mulberries from the old tree, wild plums of every colour that grow along the creek, peaches off trees on the sides of the road, and now, even a few of our orchard trees have given us a little fruit. With my sister and brother in law visiting,…

Instagram post 2194683418038342925_36469875 We’ve woken up to a Smokey morning. The fires are a long way from us, but they are big! We’re expecting a hot few days this week which is going to further stretch the firies. Thinking of those who are affected by the fires. Keep safe.

Instagram post 2189100931039901094_36469875 The halls have been decked! There may be some strategic rearranging of some of the decorations once the kids are in bed (they subscribe to the “more is better” school of Christmas decor). I suggested a more minimalist approach to Christmas decorations but the kids looked at me like I’m weird and proceeded to cover the house with various festive paraphernalia 🤷‍♀️. Instead, can we just stop and look lovingly at my red door in all her glory with wreath! I’m making heart eyes. Have you put up your tree?

Instagram post 2178315371685872666_36469875 I walk down this road several times a week and no matter the season or the time of day, I always love the light and the views across our paddocks. It’s pretty brown and dusty at the moment but there have been years when it’s lush and green. Keeping our fingers crossed for some greener times ahead 🤞🙏💚💚
