Finally school holidays are here! I know not every parent exclaims this with such delight when the school holidays come, but this week has been full of colds, asthma and grumpy attitudes. We are all well overdue for a change in routine. I'm looking forward to the slower days of holidays with time for trips to the beach, and bush-walks. This weekend we will be spending time with family, I hope you manage to take some time to look after yourself and fill your tank this weekend.
Here are some links that caught my eye this week or that are old favorites. I hope you enjoy them.
Oh and blogger has gremlins in it for me today, so the links are high lighted in pale green.
Zen Habits
When fear is stopping you from perusing meaningful work.
Jembella Farm
Sally is a dear friend I met through the blogging world and I just love her blog. Its so packed full of wonderful, practical information written with a deep sense of kindness and warmth. I can attest that sitting in her beautiful farm kitchen, surrounded by the heat of the wood oven, with a hot cuppa, with fresh milk from Lavender, eating toasted sourdough is really as marvelous as it looks in her photos.
She has a ripper two series post on how she perfected her sourdough loaf. Her tips have greatly improved my loaf.

Mr Homemaker
I really enjoyed this trip down memory lane by Mr Homemakers, as he shared memories from his grandmothers era.
No Spend Year
This is a really interesting Ted talk by Michelle McGagh is the author of the No Spend Year - How to spend less and live more. Though most of us will never go to the extremes of not spending for a year, she shares some interesting and valuable insights about what she learned, and many lessons we can adapt to apply in a way that can suit our own lives.
Pacific Yurts
Another interesting You Tube link about Yurts. I am not affiliated with this company in any way, but they are the company we have chosen to go with for our yurts on the farm. They have an excellent reputation, they are highly competitive on their pricing and their communication has been second to none and extremely thorough throughout the entire process to ensure the product we have ordered is suited to our needs.
