Taking Stock – June 2017
June has been a massive month for our family. I wish I could say it was a good month, but it really has been a hard month overall. We got through, survived reporting, a death, funeral, and now, thank God, we are on school holidays. All I can say is that I am so glad to be on school holidays. So here is TAKING STOCK – JUNE. Cooking: I have lost my desire to cook mojo at the moment. June has been a massive month for our immediate and extended family, and I am hoping the good old mojo comes back in soon. Drinking : Soda water and lemon…

Taking Stock – May 2017
Making: I had a plan to start learning how to crochet this month, but I haven’t had a chance. Maybe June, I will have a chance to sit down and learn. I really want to brag and show you what our beautiful 11 year old made over the course of the last couple of months…. We are so incredibly impressed with her efforts. She’s one of those kids who can start a project and stick with it right to the end. Great job Nelly! Cooking: Lots of slow cooker meals! This has been the month to get out the slow cooker and enjoy effortless evenings of yummy…

Taking Stock – April 2017
Another Month has come and gone! We are travelling through 2017 far too quickly! As much as I would love time to stand still for a moment – it can’t, and it never will. We have to work out how to adapt and work with time! Make time work for us instead – if you figure out how to do this, please let me know. 🙂 So here is April’s Taking Stock recount! Cooking: Trying to do bulk meals that I can freeze at the moment. I feel more organised when I cook in bulk. Also healthy muesli bars for the kids. Drinking: Soda…

Taking Stock – March 2017
What happened to March? Life is going far too quickly, and while I do feel we are achieving some of our goals there are a number of things we haven’t yet started. We have just finished our first school term for 2017, and I must say that I am thrilled to now be on school holidays. We have worked hard and now we are rewarded with time off! Feeling: okay! I’m thankful for health, love and good people in my life. Blessed! Making: My favourite rainy weather dinner is spaghetti Bol. Yum! Buying: A few clothes for the kids. They keep growing! Drinking: Soda water and lemon…

Taking Stock – February 2017
What an awesome month! We may have had many over the top hot days, but I must say that I have really enjoyed this month. January was all about getting organised for 2017, so I decided the start of February was the perfect time to action my massive list of goals for the new year. By doing so, I feel as though I tricked myself into avoiding ‘I have already failed my new year goals’ thinking. So here we are at the end of February – The very last day of Summer, I thought it would be a good idea to do another ‘Taking Stock – February 2017’ piece. Making: Very yummy…

Taking Stock – January 2017
What has happened to this month? Just three days ago, it was exactly one month since we celebrated Christmas, and here we are now a month on, and back to the school routine. I would LOVE the ability to turn back time – I really want the holidays back! Its the end of January and so I thought I would do my end of the month ‘Taking Stock’ post. So here goes…. Making: Lists. I have lots of lists on the go….school, shopping, things we want to do, meal ideas, movies we want to watch, things to do before January ends, goals for 2017, our budget, and a list of jobs…

Taking Stock- December 2016
It may be the very first day of January 2017, but I wanted to finish and post my ‘Taking Stock- December 2016’ post. Pip Lincolne introduced me to the idea of ‘Taking Stock’ posts a while back, and so it seemed like a good idea to complete the year with one. So here we go….Taking Stock – December 2016! Making: Not exactly making at the moment but am about to start learning how to crochet. #lifegoals Cooking: some yummy healthy gf apple and cinnamon muffins Drinking: Icy soda water at the moment Reading: The Subtle Art of not giving a &@$! by Mark Mason Trawling: Netflix for good things to watch…
