life right now

It feels like I clicked my fingers, woke up and it was April. I have no idea how that happened.

Term one rushed past in a blur of getting to know the students and new staff, a two week school swimming program, beginning of year testing, a whole school cultural fiesta and the opening of our new building and a learning expo. And all of this is a super short 9 week term (including the midweek start and early Easter end!) Crazy.


A few weekends ago, we participated in Relay For Life for the third year. It is an incredible event. I have hundreds of photos +  hours of video from the event which I am working on putting into some sort of video.


I've been embracing cooking at home. I joined in with Ruth's bread revolution and made bread. It was rad and tasted amazing. This is a good thing for my budget and health.


I've been slowly working away on my hexagon blanket and I taught myself to ripple. Then I decided I really didn't like what I had done so far, pulled it all out and started again. I am now waiting or my new wool order to arrive so I can continue to work on it.


I signed up for Tim Coulson's workshop, The Nursery later in the year. Pretty much every blogger I admire went along at some time last year and had a fantastic time. I can't wait. 

I've been thinking about how I can commit to blogging. The current trend I am noticing goes something like this. Blog during school holidays. Completely forgot about blogging when school goes back. School holidays. Apolgoise for the lack of blogging. Blog during holidays. Repeat. Thinking I might need to spend some time planning for the blog. Because, really, I think it is an ace thing to be doing.

What have you been making or baking lately?
How have you made blogging apart of your routine?

around here








the weather is getting cooler. scarfs and jackets and boots are becoming a necessity to leave the house in the mornings. rain is here most days.

the sun is setting much earlier. it's dark leaving for work and dark coming home.

warm, comforting food is being baked from scratch. food that leaves you feeling full and content.

sick days have been had. lots of oranges and apples are being eaten to prevent any more.

it's getting to the busy end of term. lots of correcting and conferencing about learning is happening. goals are being set. reports are being written.

plans are being made and conversations are being had about new adventures, new houses and new experiences.

squares are slowly being made and joined together. new projects are being planned.
