I’m breaking my sweet Sundays and going savoury. I feel the need to share some of my standby Monday / Tuesday meals. On M/T I leave food in the fridge for Annabelle, our M/T nanny, to reheat for the Tsunamis’ dining pleasure. So it needs to not dry out, be safe to reheat and it needs…

This Saturday I’m grateful for… grandparents!
I’m writing this post in advance (it’s Monday, I’m organised!) as this weekend we are off down the coast to visit Gran and Pops. They only live about 3 hours drive away, but we haven’t been down since Anzac Day (and even then G and P were actually off on holiday themselves). So, it’s been…
Things I learned this week including that I wasted years of precious baby time…
It’s been a busy week which means that I didn’t get time to jot down my learnings like I usually do. Or maybe it was a slow week and I just didn’t learn anything? Regardless, I jotted down five and anything else I learned has flown out of my scatterbrain head already. So, enjoy my five for the…
Ms Nosybella: have you ever…?
Nosybella’s baaaack. Asking all the questions, begging for all the answers. Today I’m all about life experiences and the many little past yous that add up to a whole today you. So, I’m asking, have you ever (my evers in brackets)… lived overseas? (Four years in London with LOML in my late twenties. Good times.) hitch-hiked?…
When child’s play just isn’t!
As the Tsunamis are getting older, I’ve realised how tense I used to be on any given day. I was literally locked up in the shoulders with what I thought was worry about their safety and wellbeing, but now I know was actually worry that they would ask me to play with them. Really. I…
Raspberry and white choc muffins
Another classic this week. I’ve been making these babies for a long time from a torn piece of A4 paper with scribbles, but I think the recipe might have been a Nigella that I adapted to reduce the enormous butter quantity (yes, definitely a Nigella!). I do the wholemeal flour option to try to kid…
This Saturday I’m grateful for… Tsunamis
This Saturday I’m grateful for… My beautiful children. What’s making you happy today?

Things I learned this week including the existence of sigh macarons
1. There really is no business like show business. Especially at the circus. 2. The 1,2,3 method of disciplining Tsunamis really, really works. I only just acknowledged this. We’ve been using the method (1 = reminder 2 = warning 3 = consequences) for over a year and just this week I suddenly realised that these days…
The July Chronicles: What’s on your fridge?
The June Chronicles was a spectacular success with a whole entry received. LJ at With My Own Two Hands was kind enough to complete the linky but she counts as only 1/2 an entry as she did not in actual fact do any sort of post on the happenings on her fridge. And sadly, as I am related to…
