A change of direction

I have found it hard to continue blogging as my crafting as taken a back seat to being a mum, recyclist (is that even a word), fair trader, local market supporter, ethical buyer, self sufficient, low carbon footprint woman.

Soooooo, my blog will be changing (it's OK, change doesn't have to be scary). I will be sharing how I am changing my lifestyle to be more who I believe I should be.

I already recycle and cook most meals from scratch. I still am crafting, but it is crafting with a purpose and mainly for my family. I am trying to grow a vege garden from seed and have chooks for eggs but I still manage to produce at least one shopping bag full of rubbish per day.

Having been inspired by these people who managed just one small, tiny rubbish bag for a year.

I am going for one a week.

Dry Nights

Miss Lulu (4) is out of night time nappies.

I have to admit that it happened by accident. Mr. Divine put Lulu to bed and forgot to put her pull-up on. In the morning she got up, went to the bathroom and a big proud voice said "I wore knickers all night and I'm dry."

So, we made a big fuss of her and pretended that we had planned it that way.

She went on a daddy date to the local cafe and has been in knickers for the past 5 nights.

Only one more little one in nappies now.

Autumn = Knitting

Some hats and fingerless gloves for my two girls.

Really the gloves are like sleeves with thumb holes. They are super cute and easy for little hands to put on.

Happy mothers day

I had a fab mothers day.

I recieved flowers and homemade cards and I spent the morning

mooching around the markets.

We went out to dinner at our local restaurant and even the kids behaved.

I had a pumpkin and feta filo pastry followed by strudel and icecream,

washed down with a bottle of Asti.

I wish it was mothers day more often.

Happy mothers day :)

The zoo (again)

When you have a year pass, you try to make the most of it.

Our highlight this time was feeding the deer. It was so gentle.

Lulu took a fancy to the goat.

Button's face tells the story. hehe

My 3 beautiful girls.

My new BFF

I hung out with my new BFF this morning.

She helped me with the housework for 3 hours and all she wanted was some water.

I'd like to introduce you to the steam mop (hehe).

My old BFF lent me her steam mop. I don't know how she parted with it.

It was slow going, but my kitchen floor is soooooo clean.

Tomorrow I'm going to hang with my new BFF and clean our bathroom and foyer.
