How are you going?

Me? Well it’s interesting. Schooling the kids from has been ok. First week was great, full of enthusiasm. Second week, not so much. School holidays have descended into chaos HAHAHA
We ‘go back’ to Term 2 at the end of the month. The kids will be learning online. Can’t wait to see how it goes.

Mentally. Coping. Just. Missing mum terribly but so glad she’s not trying to survive through this. Just wish she was here so I could talk things through with her or just give her a hug.

I’m trying to keep myself busy. Crafting. Baking. Working from home. Hanging out with crafters and planners virtually. Playing D&D online with our friends who live in the same town. Man that is really strange.
Sleeping in. Playing with our 3 kitties (we’ve adopted 2 of our fosters) and our current foster. Enjoying the days of sunshine. Loving the colder days and curling up like a cat in front of the fire.

Meet Logan & Luna. Our new fur babies. Cola hates them. Actually Cola hates all the fosters so far. She’s old so I’ll forgive her. She just sleeps most of the day now and hides from the kittens.

How are you all going? Coping with lockdown/isolation? What are you doing to stay sane/entertained?

Much love to you all xx

Getting back to basics

One of the great things about staying home is we’re getting to try out a heap of new recipes and are introducing the kids to some basic recipes.

This week we’ve made

  1. our own butter (in the Thermomix),
  2. Apple cider using the abundance of apples of our tree
  3. Milo brownies
  4. fruit leather and dried apple slices
  5. banana cake
  6. chocolate cupcakes

Next week is going to be Easter themed baking in our house. Looking forward to it. Hot cross buns and Easter biscuits *yum*

COVID-19, temporary home schooling and more

So, Covid-19. What a time we are living in! Countries in lockdown. People panic buying (why the toilet paper people???). Physical distancing. Self isolation. Schools closing down or recommending students stay home.

We start our temp home schooling on Monday. School holidays officially start at Easter so we have 2 weeks.
Not sure If I will blog every day but we’ll see how it goes.

In the mean time – Stay Safe. STAY HOME (unless you are an essential worker – in which case THANK YOU!!!!!) Don’t do anything stupid. Be kind to one another.

Here’s a few memes to hopefully brighten your day and I’ll hopefully see you all on the other side.

Meme - I'm having a quarentine party this weekend!! None of you are invited. Half of us are going to come out of this quarentine as amazing cooks. The other half will come out with a drinking problem. Kids complaining they are bored. Bitch please. You lucky this didn't happen in the 80s with only 12 channels no internet, Netflix or xBox! You'd be doing puzzles and playing go fish! I don't like the fact that my chances of survival seem to be linked to the common sense of others.
