Late last year my husband volunteered our house for a New Year’s Eve party with our friends. Theoretically I was fine with the idea of hosting, but practically it was another story. Our house looked like a bomb site. And I’m not using hyperbole here, the house hadn’t had a proper clean in longer than … Continue reading

{DIY} Christmas Gifts – Story Stones
Greetings from the long lost land here On The Ning Nang Nong. Uni has finally finished for the year (along with assignments and placements) which means I am finally able to get back to some projects and the blog! I enrolled in a Masters of Teaching (Early Years) this year in order to work towards being … Continue reading
{Succession Planning} Tuesday 29/4/14?
I know that technically today is Thursday, but I did finally actually remember that Tuesday was my succession planning day only by the time I had time to actually do any succession planning, it was too late to take photographs. So instead I just delayed until today, but I’m still totally claiming that it happened on Tuesday. … Continue reading
See How My Garden Grows: April 2014
I am having a terrible run with the The Garden Share Collectivelately. This time I actually knew it was the start of the month but apparently only imaged pressing publish on my post, so it’s now a tad late! This Month: I haven’t really done much in the garden lately. Almost nothing has been harvested, and … Continue reading
{Sensory Play} Cloud Dough for World Autism Awareness Day
Today was World Autism Awareness Day. As you may know, Mr J (7) has been diagnosed with autism. He has recently switched from a mainstream school to an autism-specific school (which is one of the reasons I’m finding less time to blog these days). I thought that in keeping with this I would put up … Continue reading
Weekend To-Do List – 29th March, 2014
Lately I’ve been struggling to find the energy to do anything around the house/garden. Ordinarily I don’t get a lot achieved during the week and everything gets left to the weekend, only for some reason lately that hasn’t really been working out. This weekend, however, I had nothing planned so I decided to write myself … Continue reading
{DIY} Ribbon Flower Brooch
On Wednesday Miss H (9 years old) came home and announced that Friday was ‘Harmony Day’ and that her school was encouraging her to wear orange as a result. Orange not being a particularly attractive colour (or at least so we think in our household) we didn’t really have anything orange that she could wear. My … Continue reading

{Succession Planting} Tuesday 18/3/14
I’ve been having trouble keeping up with the blog lately for a few different reasons. The first is the general malaise I get around now that means I tend not to harvest the plants I’ve spent so much time putting in. The second is that Mr J has just started at a new (special) school … Continue reading
Organising Cables
Nick and I moved into our house almost three years ago. It took me a year before I actually got everything unpacked and sorted. For some reason, in that haze of ‘organising’ I declared that we would keep all our household cables (you know, aerial points, chargers, ethernet cables, printer cables) in a tub together. … Continue reading
See How My Garden Grows: March 2014
So apparently it is the start of March – I was firmly convinced that today was the 27th of February – and that means two things. The first is that it’s time to link up with The Garden Share Collective. The second is that I missed out on my Rescue This project during February. Oops. … Continue reading
