Toothbrush holder.

My little blue eyes broke the toothbrush holder last week... So instead of buying another nice ceramic one. I made one, well decorated it myself!

I've been collecting glass jars, so used a small one of those, fabric, string and glue.. Glueing the string on with the hot glue gun was the hardest part.. It won't win any prizes, but it's jazzed up a glass jar. I'm happy, and the boys like it!

School and Kindy for the boys tomorrow! Yay for a little peace and stillness in the house for a few hours!

Quick pic!

Just a quick pic to show you how beautiful it was out on the water today. 3 fish in the freezer now. A trevally, and bream from me and a massive bream from Ben!

We had a great day :-) xo

Snacks done.

My post is brought to you today by the Blogger App I found and installed on my iPhone!

AND I can post my photos with it!

Although I have no idea in which order the photos will be.. Lol.

Today I baked up a storm, Choc Zucchini Cake, Milo Cookies, Savoury Biscuits and Piklets. All of which gets frozen and used when ever a hungry need arises!

The Savoury Biscuits are a recent discovery and will post the recipe soon for it. It's very easy!

Ben is now making some dips for our afternoon snacks and tonight we are off to the Bowls Club for dinner. $10 for adults and $5 for the kids... Can't go wrong for an easy Sunday night dinner!

:-) xo

Ps. Like the new design?! Still got some fine tuning to go, but I like it!!

Saturday rehabilitation.

I've worked out how to post from my iPhone whoo!! But can't post pics yet.. This will make blogging more accessible for me! We are currently sitting outside around a fire.. Nothing more comforting! Today included boating and fishing. Ben and I both caught an edible fish for dinner yum! Last night I got the chance to go to bens sisters house (she lives 30 seconds from our house.. Literally!). We had a wine, movie and child free night. Was excellent to sit and talk "rubbish" with no little ears to worry about or their voices intruding! Ha! Tomorrow will bring some baking for the following weeks snacks! I do love a day in the kitchen after a relaxing day of fresh air on the boat.. All things I love! :-) xo

Less Plastic

I'm slowly but surely on my way to reducing my plastic container/packaging usage.. Today i purchased the first of many, a new big glass jar to store flour.. I'm doing more cooking/baking than ever. With Cowboy at school and Blue Eyes going to Kindy a couple of days a week I need good lunchbox food for them.. Not to mention treats for afternoon tea.. They just don't stop EATING!!

I think that is how i'm going to aim to change this blog. An outlet for what i use it for now, but also I might try add in another tab so i can share my recipes, my folder of favourites is HUGE! and I'm always finding new recipes or re-designing them for the way i want to cook them.. Wish me luck re-designing this thing.... xo :-)

Rehabilitation.

I went and picked Ben up from the work house yesterday. He's now at home recovering. He was very stiff and sore, but getting better each day. The rehabilitation for him tonight involved, putting the boys in the shower for me, drying and dressing them. Then doing some drying up after I did the dishes.. I'm enjoying having him here safe and sound, even if he is getting a little bored! I would have taken a pic, but he is good at evading the camera! ❤😊

Trust your gut...

I went off to bed last night feel really good had a great day with Blue Eyes and babysat my neice for the day. It was great. Once i got into bed though i had one of those weird bad feelings that something bad was going to happen.. Usually when i get these feelings i send a text message to Ben and ask him to be careful just incase.. Don't know why i didn't last night.. But i should have. Woke up this morning feeling great, Blue Eyes only woke up once and no wetting of the bed was had.. Perfect way to start the day Plus Blue Eyes woke up HAPPY as he had a good sleep too! Not long after being up though a received a call from my sil who got a call from my fil... Ben had been in a car accident.. See trust your gut.. He is ok. Got rear ended on his way to work, had some tests done at the hospital and all turned up clear. Just very sore. If it was more serious i would most definetly had gone today to see him. Depending on how he wakes up tomorrow will see if he's up to working the rest of the week.. What a day! xo
