State Park Sunday

The kids and I enjoyed a day out from isolation and went on an adventure into the Lerderderg State Park which is just a 20min drive from where we live. The kids had fun bush walking, smashing open rocks looking for Quartz and Gold and splashing each other using rocks in puddles. The sun was out and the fresh air was so nice. As we were leaving Nevaeh, following the footsteps of her big brother fall in a puddle but she...

Mothers Day 2020

This year's Mothers Day was a little bit different to previous years! This year, I woke up early, 6am early (since this quarantine period I find myself getting everything I need done and find by 8pm I'm bored of TV so I go to bed) and so I made myself a lovely fresh breakfast which consisted on homemade garlic and cheese bread, roasted pumpkin, rocket, cherry tomatoes (my fave), cucumber and pumpkin seeds. It was so yummy and this year...

Cooking Squid

Tonight was my first time cooking a squid! During this isolation period, we do not have the luxury of ordering our favorite meals from the places we love. So I thought I'd use some of this time to learn how to cook the things we love from scratch. Yesterday I bought a squid from coles for under $5 and looked up a youtube tutorial video on how to prepare and cook it. I cooked it two ways. One with corn flour and the other with a packet...
