Around here

I can't believe we are half way through January already as time moves so quickly.  Luckily we have another couple of weeks of school holidays before the kids have to go back to school.

In my last post I mentioned I went to see the movie "The Biggest Little Farm" which I thoroughly enjoyed and will probably watch it again.

My new cookbook arrived this week "Everyday Additive-Free" by sisters Tracey Fry & Joanne Ling from Tasmania.  I've written a post about the 7 podcast episodes that I think you need to listen to about additives that go into our every day what we consider healthy food choices.  It was a game changer.   The book has both the Thermomix method and the normal cooking method so very versatile.

There have been numerous Instagram posts about making pouches for injured wildlife so I went to spotlight and bought some Aussie fabric to make the pouches.  I have started on one however my sewing machine is playing up and needs a service before I continue with them.  I had fun getting some cute fabric and  I got the pattern off the Animal Rescue Craft Guild FB page.  Here is an article about the sewing bees helping the injured wildlife.

When looking for food prepping ideas this week I came across this post from The Organized Housewife.  Cutting up your carrot and celery sticks and putting them in a jar with water keeps them fresh for longer.

Another inspiring food prepping picture to get organized.

I am also search up school lunch box ideas as we will be starting another year.  I have been making the kids kindy and school lunches for 17 years.  Check out School Lunch Box on IG an Aussie Dad who makes healthy school lunches for his kids.  He also has a book called Lunch Box Express.
