On farm classes
I haven't been taking many photos this week – something about getting out with everyone and their shoes on/hats on/bags packed etc, the camera just doesn't make the list. (Hence another iPhone shot above, thanks Ad.) Just dropping in to say I'm having a blog break and will be back […]
1. Adam went back to work today after three lovely lovely weeks of paternity leave. 2. Today was my first school drop off and pick up with three kids. It poured with rain last night. I figured, sure, getting kids in and out of the car in the pouring rain? […]
Inspired by Soulemama's Friday ritual, here's my moment to cherish this week: Adam and our newest addition, Ivy, three weeks old. Asleep almost instantly in the Baby Bjorn on Daddy's chest. Photo from my iPhone (using Hipstamatic.) Have a gorgeous weekend. xxx
First: you lot have some excellent stuff lurking in your pantries!! Sue: can you email me a photo of your mystery vegetable by any chance? Am now on lookout for uses for balsamic pickled cucumbers, rye flour (I have a bag of this too, Angie), middle eastern fig confit (YUM) […]
Revelations: # If I wanted my life back once Masterchef finishes this weekend, I probably shouldn't have started watching Mad Men. Given I've got the whole first series. And given I'm a bit inclined to put my feet up once the kids are in bed and not do anything (i.e. […]

Three years old, that is. My Mum, who now has eight grandchildren, has a lovely rule that she must have a three year old photo of each of them. Before three, they're toddlers, after that, they are really turning into little people (and can go through a cheesy photo stage.) […]
1. It wouldn't be a Walmsley family outing if we didn't eat lunch on the way there. (At morning tea time.) Vegemite sandwich anyone? On the ferry from Circular Quay to Cockatoo Island. 2. It's the Biennale of Sydney. Installation art all over the island. A jumping castle that is […]
My friend Lucie put me onto this book, for which I am very very grateful. Julie Maree Wood is full of truly excellent ideas about boosting the nutrition in the food of a small person who won't eat much of anything. These apricot balls, which she calls Iron Booster Balls, […]
Turns out I've carried my love of school holidays into adulthood, now that I have a school-aged person in the house. There's something about the rhythm of term-time receding into a break that is good for everyone. Gives us a sense of re-charging. It has been totally wonderful having Adam […]
