a passion for food and cooking inspired by travel, family and friends
Its 2015!!
We recently returned from Sydney after a fantastic 2 week holiday with family and friends. Its the first time we have been home this time of year for a number of years. Our trip was packed with celebrations for my son’s 5th birthday, my husband’s birthday, a wedding, and lots of catch ups with friends, some who we hadn’t seen in years. And of course Christmas!…
School has been back for a week or so, nursery too. I have been back at work for a week and the familiarity of hectic mornings, being super organised are slowly creeping back (along with forgotten mobile phones, school books, thermos full of coffee etc…).
I am also remembering how to savour the down times, spend a little time with the 3 kids, and getting my subjective hat on to work out how to discuss complicated topics such as ‘do dinosaurs speak french?’ and ‘I can’t go to bed, I’m allergic to sleep’. Then realise I have to prepare dinner and plan the school lunches for the next day. I love cooking all the time, but when forced too I realise I am cooking ALL the time. I must admit I do like a freezer full of back ups and kids snacks and meals so a lot of it is my own doing….
