Recipe | Oh Jam
Oh Jam, how you have consumed my life for two days. As I was deciding on my annual Christmas cooking you were suggested by Dave ever so casually, almost as if I make Jam all the time. A willy-nilly Jam maker I am not. I …
Hmmmm, can anyone see a trend here?
It appears Louie has been spreading the word about how comfy human furniture is! My sun lounger has become Jim’s favourite spot to kick back.
Ssssshh, the dog’s sleeping
Can you believe this dog? I can’t and I’ve lived with him for almost 2 years now. He seriously arranges the cushions on the couch ‘just so’, right in the prime TV watching position and then dozes off – growling like the ferocious dog he …
I’ve been Published!
This came in the mail today! Isn’t that the most beautiful picture (if I do say so myself) – and how ironic that my first published food pic is of cerviche, my absolute most favourite entree! So next time you are looking for some inspiration …
A little about me via The Great Interview Experiment
Remember this post where I interviewed Jack?
Well, I was interviewed by Alissa from A+A Adopt a Baby. I found out through this very cool process that I find it much easier to ask questions than answer them, especially when they are about me! So visit Alissa’s blog and find out everything you need to know and come back if you have any more questions! (or just come back, especially if you want to make some jam – DIY coming soon).
Today…today you say?
What are we doing today? Going to have a playdate with a crazy lady who is having a baby T O M O R R O W. That’s the crazy lady Chris, hubby Hamish and the young fella is Billy – Leon (4) was probably …
Christmas Post #…… (I’ve lost count)
It has been a busy day of Christmas preparation for Ethan. We finalised his ridiculous Christmas Wish List yesterday and made it into his special red letter, addressed and decorated the envelope and posted it with Nana today. He then decided on his Christmas Card …
Schools Out – T-60mins
After his brief (3week) foray into the realm of book bags, uniforms, homework, the occasional bully, lunch-orders and a crap-tacular New Entrant teacher, Ethan’s first official Summer Holiday begins in one hour.
What this means to him is that Christmas could arrive at anytime, thus one should be prepared with an updated wish list at all times. His list is growng at a rate only exceeded by the increasing number of freckles on his nose and the even faster rate with which my little boy seems to be disappearing amidst all of this school boy guff.
Last nights additions to the wish-list included a PSP (he got Nintendo DS for his birthday less than a month ago), an electric guitar (WTF?), soft bait for Daddy (hmmm, perhaps there is an altruist in there somewhere?) and a large remote controlled hobby aircraft.
Moving on….
I can’t get enough of;

Forgotten Photos
These guys used to be so cute and fuzzy, now a month later they are all long necks and legs. Ethan received his first award at school, luckily Nana was there to witness the presentation at the school assembly. Ethan excelled in, wait for it…….STARTING …
