she's here. mabel rose. born june second.

on the move: keep calm and carry on

the house has sold. and i am 34 weeks pregnant. i will be away from this space for a little while as i attempt to move our lives from one place to another. 

my motto: 'keep calm and carry on'...

33 weeks

...with a very low bump.

lovely lentils...

Equals a lovely little learning experience.

her breakfast

we love breakfast 'round here. but sometimes it is the most challenging meal to come up with some new ideas. i thought i might share some of our morning meals, so you can share some of yours...

::scrambled organic eggs with baby spinach

::granola with yogurt and fresh fruit

::porridge with rice milk, maple syrup and sultanas

::almond, coconut and maple baked granola with yogurt and banana (from here)

other things we love are smoothies, tea (yes, she loves a little herbal tea with her mama,)baked beans on toast, quinoa porridge with cinnamon, honey and banana, toast with tahini and mashed banana and dippy eggs.  

homemade: ravioli

thoroughly enjoying our pasta making adventures. based on a recipe from the silver spoon.

the river: easter 2012

(she loves her aunty 'teesh')

back from the river

...and the bump at 31 weeks.

an invitation

whilst she sleeps, i set up little activities, inviting her to do whatever she wishes with them upon waking...

my girl

ninteen months.

in the kitchen

... the last of summer is being cooked, preserved, frozen and enjoyed. i am also learning some new skills. bread making (without the bread maker) and the art of home-made pasta. how will we ever eat store-bought pasta again?
