Time For A Change :: A New Bloggy Home
I would like to thank everyone for reading my little blog here at WordPress, but I have decided to make a move over to Blogger. You will find all my posts and photos over there too.
Why not check out my snazzy new blog.

It’s Monday! :: Meal Planning
I cannot say that I am enjoying the meal planning, but it does really help at 4pm when everyone is asking me ‘what’s for dinner?’. Instead of having to think about what to make, I just have to look at the list and decide.
I do have a little something that makes the planning a little easier though. Most people seem to plan for a week of meals at a time, but I like to plan and shop every fortnight. I have been looking around the internet for a great planning sheet, but they are all weekly, and have the days of the week on them. Since I don’t like to pair days with meals, they weren’t going to work for me.
So I made one myself! It has 14 boxes to jot down the 12 meals and two baking ideas, and a column for a shopping list. The list is broken down into areas of the supermarket to make shopping easier.
Because I am in a generous mood I thought I might offer it as a download.
This fortnight we are eating:
- Silverside with potatoes, peas, carrots and white sauce,
- Spaghetti Bolognese with garlic bread,
- Apricot chicken with mashed potatoes, peas and corn on the cob,
- Tacos,
- Potato salad with chicken sausages,
- Bean and coriander quesadillas
- Curried sausages with rice,
- Creamy asparagus pasta,
- Baked lemon chicken with butter bean mash and carrots,
- Lemon chicken drumsticks with chips and vegies,
- BLT risotto,
- Sticky pork ribs with fried rice.
Baking? Of course!
Homemade oreos and mixed berry muffins.
School Holiday Fun :: Friends For Morning Tea
The Smalls and I have just had a wonderful morning tea with a new school friend.
I made chocolate cupcakes,
but there are a couple left for you to enjoy!
What are you doing these school holidays?
My Creative Space :: Shoes
A new shoe I am trying out. Just needs some handstitiching and a couple of snaps.
Now excuse me while I take The Smalls to a play centre, I can’t handle all the ‘I’m inside ’cause it’s raining and I’m going crazy’ that is going on around here!
More crafty peeps here.
Shopping :: Etsy Lust
I had every intention of showing you my latest finished project, but it is so dark and overcast here today that I cannot get a great photo.
So instead I thought that I might show you some of my favourites from Etsy.
Chocolate soap! Yum. From here.
Pretty Please, with a cherry on top? from here.

Do you shop at etsy? What are some of your favourites?
Time Capsule :: This Week, Last Year
This is what The Smalls looked like this week, last year.
Sorry about the crappy image. It is an iPhone photo.
Since this photo was taken, Rhianna has started Prep, Rylan has learned to count to 100 and Lucas has learned, well nearly everything he currently knows!
Want to play along? All you have to do is look through your photo archives and choose a photo taken this week, one year ago. Blog about it and link back so everyone can see what you were up to a year ago. Easy huh?
