Alas school holidays are winding up in SA. Just as we were really getting into the swing of it! I feel like when the boys are on school holidays I spend so much of my days cooking, making nourishing lunches and big fruit platters to share. Not that I mind. I feel more motivated to cook during school holidays. I think its the lovely, long, lazy days and no rush to be anywhere. I swear they have all grown an inch the last two weeks!
But all good things must come to an end as it is time to prepare and get organised for a brand new school term. I hope this weekends reads finds you well and that if you have school aged children that the transition from school holidays to school term is a smooth one for you.
It doesn't matter how often we cook popcorn these guys love to watch it.
The popcorn dance....doesn't everyone do it?
Popcorn, cheap, quick and delicious. A great healthy substitute for crisps.
Fresh hard boiled eggs for a quick and nourishing snack on the go. I usually have a bowl in my fridge.
Making the dough, I find bread baking a soothing task.
Pizza scrolls, also a great lunchbox filler.
Beef curry simmering away for dinner.
Joshua Becker usually writes posts that resonate with me, and so many others. This one is no exception.
Meg from A Hopeful Nature shared this great little tutorial, coming into spring in Australia this is a perfect little handy craft idea to brighten up a blouse or a dress.
10 clutter free gift ideas for kids
Christmas is coming - I know...How is this so?! Most of us have gifts that will be purchased, here is a list of clutter free gift ideas. By shopping in advance we can be prepared and buy more mindful presents for the children in our lives.
A week in Moarg's garden
Moarag is a wealth of permaculture information, which she shares so generously. This is a great 20 minute YouTube clip of the projects she and a work experience student have worked together doing. What a lucky student, and doesn't he just so a great job of presenting? I would SO love to do her permaculture design course when we move to our farm.
Australian season fruit and vegetable guide
Eating seasonally is an important practice, and one we so often loose with the year round supply of fruit and vegetables that we have available at the big supermarkets. Farmers markets are a great way to shop seasonally, but if you can't guides like this are helpful in working out what is in season at what time.
Much love,
Emma
