Good Things

ONE I picked up these gorgeous tile trivets when I was in Sydney last week with Hannah. We went to see Ed Sheeran concert last week  (we gave her the tickets for her birthday in December) and took the opportunity to spend a few hours wandering the city and exploring all the things we can’t…

Taking Stock | January 2018

Summer holidays really are the best time of the year. We’ve had Christmas at the farm with all my family, followed by a week up the coast with them again. Now we are home and enjoying some downtime. I’ve had some breathing space which has got my brain ticking over with lots of different ideas…

Big Things and Little

I’ve been trying to get back to the blog for what seems like forever. School holidays seem to be my most creative times, mainly because I actually have a little time to focus on things other than the essentials. I seem to go on about slow living, but I’m not always great at actually slowing…

Things I Like | September 2017

Yay for school holidays – and not a minute too soon. Every year teaching seems to take more and more of my energy, and the holidays are so needed. That’s not to say that I’ve not got work to do over the holidays. Between marking, planning, and catching up on whatever I didn’t get finished…

Lately

It’s been four weeks since we moved back to our freshly renovated forever farmhouse, and we are starting to settle. Starting to remember where things are kept, and to develop little routines and habits in our new abode. We’ve found nooks for most things now (though not everything), and not a day goes by where…

Frosty Morning

My goodness, it’s been cold here lately. Tucked up nice and warm in our farmhouse we have managed to avoid most of the chill, but it is still there when we venture outside. On Sunday morning we woke (not very early – it was still school holidays) to find the ground and trees completely white….

Miscellaneous

It’s hard to believe, but we are already up to planning next summer’s garden. Seed catalogues are being studied. With the house renovation taking up all our spare time, our vegetable plot has been sorely neglected and we have even had to buy vegetables this winter (!!). We do have some kale and broccoli coming on,…

Lately

Hooray for holidays, and not a moment too soon. On Friday afternoon Hannah and I left school 30 seconds after the bell rang, and we were on the road to Sydney within 15 minutes of us getting home. We spent the weekend with my family and then went to the Easter show on Monday. The…

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 🤞🙏💚💚
