3 girls, a big city and loads of good food…

I kinda don’t know where to begin today, so I’m just gonna start with what you all know already and see where it leads me. So, last weekend I travelled to Melbourne to attend the Kidspot Gala awards evening. It’s not something I was even sure I was going to make, as Melbourne isn’t exactly just down […]
homemade lemon thyme extract recipe

I usually only post a recipe on here if I know 100% that it works. But today is the day I’m gonna break my own rules and share a little experiment with you all. See I figure if I wait the 2-3 months until this baby is ready and then post the recipe, you’ll all […]
spiced apricot, orange + quinoa muesli bar recipe {gluten + dairy-free} + giveaway winners!

It has only just recently occurred to me that I’ve not ever shared a muesli bar recipe on here!? This kinda shocked me as hardly a week goes by when I don’t whip up some for the kids lunch boxes.

The tomatoes were lined up in perfect rows, cucumbers grew on trellis and each and every carrot had it’s place. Si and I are both perfectionists so I guess […]
a few teeny changes around here….

I would love to use this space to help promote small businesses who make and sell products that I love […]
Inspire me: Erin Scott from Yummy Supper

I’ve been reading Erin’s beautiful blog Yummy Supper for a few years now, but I still vividly remember finding it for the first time and how excited I was with my discovery. I spent hours pouring over her archives and was even more excited when I realised that her and her little family had just travelled all […]
mulberry lemon yoghurt tart + a giveaway winner!

The day after I handed in my manuscript I started running. After months of intense recipe testing (and eating) lets just say my body needed, no, demanded a good shake up. While exercise is definitely not something that’s new to me (me and a group of friends have been catching up to exercise in the park a couple of times a week for the […]
