Some Handmade Heaven!

Hi there sorry it's been a while since I've been here I hope you didn't miss me too much.;) We have been a bit busy here with only a few days left of the holidays we've been catching up with friends, going on adventures to new places, swimming and just hanging around home.

When I went visiting my old school friend not only did we all have heaps of fun, lots of chatting went on and discovering new ways to live life. My friend lives in the country and loves her simple life and after staying with her I really think that I want that for me too. As a child I didn't like living so far away from everything, I was bored, I felt I was a city girl at heart and I still am but as I am getting older I just love the peace and quiet of the country. I'm not sure when or if this dream will eventuate but I can make choices to live more simply and in a wholesome way. This is a picture of what was in my shopping basket today. So to go along this path, after some research from another friend, I thought I would invest in buying some organic heirloom seeds. She found this great source to buy them from and the benefit of these seeds is that you can collect them afterwards and store them to be used again.

I always make an effort to cook things from scratch for my family but lately I have been really motivated to go that extra mile. So last night I cooked us some pizza using homemade dough, today I made pikelets for morning tea, the girls ate home grown finger mangoes (we are now drying the seeds) and cheese and bacon rolls for lunch. It was such a good feeling knowing I made it all and that I knew what we were all consuming and it tastes so much better!

I have watched some other wonderful blogs exploring this lifestyle and with my friends help I want to keep on living a simpler life.

Hopefully I haven't rambled on too much for you today. What have you been up to lately?

Talk to all of you again soon.

Smiles Catherine xo
