On farm classes
Three short months with us, out here. What did we ever do without her? What did they do without her? Three months ago I didn't know every inch of her wee face and how soft her fuzzy head feels and how strong and bonny she would be. Three short months […]
I blame that sweet baby. I cannot focus on anything today (except your funny comments on what you think of greying women.) I also blame the absence of caffeine. Even when I was pregnant this last time I had the odd (*cough*, not so odd) espresso, formerly being really very […]
So I just needed any excuse to use that fabric! It's a cotton print from Spotlight, (I think they might have sold out), not designer, not expensive, just damn cute! I made a pattern by copying this dress and making it a fraction bigger. The shoulders have press studs and a […]
Hello! Big election weekend in Australia – if you missed it, we just exercised our democratic right to elect the federal government. 'Cept (hang it, you all know I'm a feminist leftie) people actually voted for a Coalition government (I would never have believed it) headed by a backward thinking […]
So where do you hang out if you're really quite afraid of heights? Oh I know, how about the tallest tower in the country? Nice view though. Anyway it's not all about me. Nice to feel on top of things. Which, incidentally, I felt today. Took the washing […]

So I MAY have forgotten that the community nurse was coming to our house this morning to check out Ivy. Now I know she's not 'community services' and she's not actually technically judging me in terms of my competence, but I really didn't do myself any favours. Bit of a […]
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 […]
: Turns out some newborns do just eat and sleep. I thought that was something people just claimed. We're not naive enough to know this may not all change tomorrow, but we're super grateful for Ivy being so chilled out right now. (And not feeding two-hourly through the night like […]
