Observations of us
“Da, da, dat dah. Dadda dat dah. Da, da dadda dadda dadda dadda dat dah ”
Do you recognise the tune……..? It’s the Angry Birds theme song. Angry Birds is a bit of a hit in our house. It is very addictive and a bit of fun. So when I saw this online I knew we just had to give it a go.
SUPER FUN…… you have to try it!

The other day I was having a lovely cuppa with my Mum and Ben in our lounge room when something caught my eye. At a closer look it was a mouse running across the room …eeewwwwww!!!
Andrew put a plan in place that night using this and doing this.
Once the dog and Ben had stopped knocking the jar over we waited and waited and voila……
What happened to the mouse after this I chose not think about. Andrew said something about feeding it to the Kookaburras. I can’t think about that….. I am such a softy!
This week was our final week at the Ministry of Food – roast chicken, good gravy, easy chicken stock, and roast potatoes, parsnips & carrots. We cooked roast vegetables, watched how to make good gravy, talked stock while smelling the wonderful chicken roasting in the oven. It all tasted super delicious and I already have a chicken in the fridge to roast this week.
We can’t thank the wonderful staff at the Ministry of Food enough (especially Louise) for their contagious enthusiasm in the kitchen. I used to look at cooking as a chore but it’s amazing what a handful of new tasty recipes will do to spark some excitement. More importantly Louise has helped our little family with a ‘Wholefood’ approach to eating.
‘Wholefood – food that is eaten as close as possible to its natural state, without unnecessary processing and refining…’ Jude Blereau
Wholefood to us is eating good fresh food (like we grew up on) and avoiding where possible highly processed and artificial foods. We have big plans for our garden this spring!!
So thank you Louise, Danella and all the wonderful volunteers. We will miss our cooking classes on Saturday afternoons. Andrew and I have had a fabulous time. We have enjoyed ourselves immensely and are truly thankful for the direction you have taken our family xo
Guess what happened at our house today…….. I’m a bit excited!
This is how we spent most of our day – watching the magic happen. Ben just loving every minute!!
I am loving the environmentally friendly, money saving loveliness of these solar panels!
The system is a 2.28 kW with a 3 kW inverter. The brand of the system is Sunny Roo. It is supplied by Beyond Building Energy and installed by Quantum Electrical. All great to work with!

Home grown really does taste better. Yesterday I had french toast with our hens eggs and topped it with our home grown tomatoes…. Super YUMMMM!!
Ben has stories every night before bed. Every night he wants just one more story….he begs just one more story PLEASE!!. Andrew began to read nursery rhymes to Ben instead of another story. Now bedtime consists of two stories and a few nursery rhymes.
Ben has had a rough few days sick with croup, tonsillitis and an ear infection. I filmed him last night singing the nursery rhymes. He was soooo tired and soooo blocked up but insisted that he still had to have his nursery rhymes. Poor little man could hardly keep his eyes open. I know I have my ‘Mummy Goggles’ on but goodness he is just so darn beautiful!!!
Sing a Song of Sixpence
Baa Baa Black Sheep (with Ben’s ending)
Mary Had a Little Lamb (just couldn’t make it to the end)
