This year began in quite a special way. You know when you need a little intimacy with God, to share your heart with him and know his heart for you, despite all your failings, your questions, concerns, and all of your doubts? I was after one of these moments on the 5th of January 2020. It was a long day with the family. We went to the lake, swam together, played together, ate together, did the bath and bedtime routine, and the whole family zonked out - minus me. So, I found myself wide awake in my home with a good couple of hours to spare before I would be ready to call it a night. I plonked m ..read more

Smack me in the face and tell me I’m not dreaming. I cannot believe that I have been a parent for four whole years! What, girlfriend? Whaaat? I still remember being 13 years old with a *not too distant* dream to be a supermodel and a thought in my head that the age of 27 was the perfect age to start a family. It was the year that Miranda Kerr had made it as an international super model and was gracing the pages of all the teen fashion mags and she was my idol. I can still remember that she was the face of a model comp that was being advertised on some popular girls magazine like ‘teen cosmop ..read more

A long while ago I had this idea to introduce every animal on our farm to you on the blog. At the time, I thought ‘I’d love to remember the story of our animals, how we got them, why we got them…’, but at the same time I also thought to myself .… ‘Oh, how drab it must be for others to read the story of our animals.’ I floated the idea to the best cheerleader I have behind this blog – my amazing sister in law - who said she’d love to read the story behind our animals. ‘It’s a great idea, I’d love that!’ And, on that note I thought – one is enough! Well, two actually, if I count me! Three if I ..read more

We moved to Ballarat from Melbourne two years ago. In Melbourne the shops are open late into the night, and it has an established restaurant and café culture. The vibrant, multi-cultural city is beaming with art, live shows, street performers, people exercising, and even the parks are buzzing with single peeps and mamas with their babies all the time. There is something always open and always happening in Melbourne which is one of the things that attracted me to the city in the first place. After arriving in Ballarat, we kind of felt like the town just slept and didn’t have many things to do ..read more

Hey Mamas! So my BEBE turned two recently and we took her to the zoo because she LOVES animals. She will literally get eye to eye with our pets and give them a good head scratch just to let them know how special and loved they are. She is God’s gift to this farm – because I honestly stopped scratching my pets heads like that when I fell pregnant! I mean, I love them but I’m full up these days. So, unless they are watching Netflix with me, I leave the head scratching to Paisy-Baby. THE GIFT ..read more
