Before coming to NZ we’ve had a year of thinking of what we might want to do. Accomodation, tourism, a place for people to relax, entertaining, room for animals and an orchard with vegetable gardens. We also hoped for something that Mr Incredible could branch out into a cycling enterprise and capitalising on new trails…
Can we stay?
We’re visiting my folks in the North Island right now and looking at properties along with enjoying the area. Along with the serenity of home cooking (I love my mother’s food!!!) the spring weather has very much hit and NZ is putting on a show for us. There’s a lot to think about though, some…
Moments of joy
It’s such a comfort when there’s special moments from the past that intersect with the present. Today had one of those moments at the airport where, looking for a place to stop in the hour and half before our flight, we fancied upon somewhere selling the same craft beer as we had at our wedding….
SO MUCH TO DO!
I know in my head that this is all going to come together. I also know in my head that we have a mountain of things to do and very few weeks to make it happen. 4 weekends. 2 weeks of school holidays… with small children who want to “help”. A husband who works full…
Sold…
While I don’t regret the direction we’re headed, I do very much appreciate what we have had here in Sydney and that life is indeed getting easier the longer we live here.

Vegan Cheese? Yes Please!
While on a recent holiday to Tasmania we popped into a shop selling vegan cheeses for Mr Incredible. They were delicious and he could eat them ALL… the price though was extreme. $20 or so for a small round. Crazy right? Especially when you can make it sooo much cheaper with very little effort at…
Road stop inspiration: Beetroot, Carrot, Cabbage, Ginger and Apple salad with a honey & lime dressing
We had an impromptu visit to the Hunter Valley last weekend to help out some older friends. He was about to go in for an operation and we found out over a cup of tea that they were about to pick up a load of hay so was unable to help. From previous experience, loading…
Easy lunches: Gut Soothing Bone Broth with a whole chicken
Mr Incredible and I have been reading Dr Michael Moseley’s “The Clever Guts Diet” and finding some great ways to implement a better diet for our gut health (and reasons to do so). One of the best things about the book is really easy to follow recipes that are easy to do. One of them…
Lunchbox safe: nut, dairy, gluten and sugar free muesli bars – which are delicious too!!
Mr Incredible just got the following text message: Cooked these. They’re awesome and may not be any left when you get home…. shall I save you one?? Made with banana as a binder and whatever you have in the cupboard, these muesli bars are incredibly versatile and super duper delicious. In fact, with the fruity…
a life of less regret
