Dummy, pacifier, binky, or what we called it, dubba. This isn't a post about why they are good or bad or evil or the best thing you could ever do for your sanity. Let me just say, I never expected MY children to have one, but they did. No biggie, the world didn't end. But… Continue reading Giving up of the Dummy

The days of napping…
As the boys turn more and more into proper boys, their energy seems endless. There were once days that they would sleep every afternoon for two hours. I almost can't imagine that now. The last few months, day sleeps have gone out the window. And with that - all of our sanity! There are those… Continue reading The days of napping…
Apple & Cheese Toasties!
Those of you that know me, know that I completely love and adore River Cottage. It's hard not to love it! It's been a big inspiration on how I strive to live my life. A few months back, this book, of course, struck an interest. There are a lot of simple basic dishes that I had… Continue reading Apple & Cheese Toasties!
Pizza Scrolls
I probably feed these to my kids a little too often, but, honestly, they probably only get one scroll each, once I'm done devouring the rest secretly in the pantry! Shhhhh! They are really easy to make and you could put just about anything on them. Just keep in mind that you may have to… Continue reading Pizza Scrolls
December, also known as ‘The Blur’
Sorry for the lack of posts. I know Christmas and New Years have come and gone. But I hope you are happy and healthy so far this year! Seriously, December is pretty much a write-off for our family. Jacob's birthday, the boys' birthday, Christmas parties, Christmas, New Years. It's madness. So here is the crazy… Continue reading December, also known as ‘The Blur’
PB&J Junkies (and being camera aware)
Lunchtime can be such a struggle sometimes. It usually met with fussiness and cranky boys, over-tired and an exhausted mum. It is so hard. Parenting is just hard. There is nothing easy about this shit. The days it goes all good in the morning, the afternoons just lead to chaos.. and vice versa. It's rare… Continue reading PB&J Junkies (and being camera aware)
Cheese Straws – who knew?
It always makes me slightly angry when I find simple recipes like this that I could have been making for ages! Way too easy, way too yummy, way too quickly eaten. The recipe I actually used was from the Treats from Little and Friday. (which of course I'm dying to go visit the cafe in… Continue reading Cheese Straws – who knew?
Muesli Bars with Coconut Oil {Kid Cooking}
These are something I make quite often. I found the original recipe here when I was just starting out Baby Led Weaning and solids with the boys. They are nice little afternoon tea snacks and yes, there is a bit of sugar in them, it's not ALL bad. Besides, I think Jacob and I eat… Continue reading Muesli Bars with Coconut Oil {Kid Cooking}
Couscous Fritters {Leftover Makeovers}
I'm discovering a passion for using leftovers. Even when I am cooking something, I am thinking about what I'll be able to make that last uneaten portion into. Frugality at it's best I like to think. Last week, Jacob made some lamb and couscous for dinner. The lamb was perfect. So was the couscous. But there… Continue reading Couscous Fritters {Leftover Makeovers}
A Week of Toddler Lunches
I wanted to document what we are having for lunch lately. It's been a pretty awesome change over the last year. There is something so cool about when your kids start eating "people" food. Or grown up food. Or at least a variation of it. Here is what they had last week ...Tuna Melt on… Continue reading A Week of Toddler Lunches
