lately...

we've been baking bread, discovering allergies and trying very hard to feed our family well with unprocessed,  homegrown, delicious food. It's the most satisfying feeling as a parent, knowing that you are providing your family with the good stuff.  Once we get to the bottom of the allergy issue it'll be much easier, but it sure is nice to see our little people enjoying everything we're making and not feeling at all like they are missing out on all the yummy stuff..
we've been spending time... 
just hanging about... 
we've been celebrating a never ending birthday...still! 
we've been visiting nan & pop's, a favourite place on earth... 
sewing heat bags with nan to keep us cosy on these cold winter nights... 
we've been climbing trees (always climbing trees)... 
and building bonfires with uncles, sharing stories, dreams and plans for the future..

what have you been up to lately?

  1. It's so lovely to see you back and that life has been treating you well. It is a lovely feeling providing wholesome food, knowing what goodness is going into them to feed and nourish their bodies. I hope that you discover soon what the food allergy is.

    Lately we've just been hanging out together, a little crochet and a little bit of craft, slowly the mojo is returning. Have a wonderful week. xx

  3. I've missed your posts, glad to have you back.

    It wounds like you've been having wonderful family time. Allergies can be very tricky but great when you get to the bottom of it.

    It's been a bit of survival mode for me. I normally love winter but this year it has been rather cold and glum in Adelaide. Most weekends I am happy to stay close to home crocheting and baking.

    Enjoy your week. xx

  4. That tree is awesome! There was similar style tree at my grandparents, we'd all pack ourselves in and try and get the top. Hours of fun. Good to see it still happens!
    Loving all of the others pics too.

  10. I feel your pain on the allergy front. I grew up being able to eat ALL foods and as an adult have now developed several food allergies, to some of my favorite things. :( It's made eating out a challenge, so I'm finding more excuses to cook at home and to eat other foods I really enjoy (sometimes in massive quantities, like my latest blueberry binge!).
