Hello from Casa de Cooker, where I'm frantically preparing for our annual camping holiday in the seaside town of Poona. For me, preparing means making lots of lists. There's something calming about a good list. I'm no closer to actually packing anything, but a good list gives me the illusion of control! My favourite post from last week's I'm Pinning Around Pinterest Link Party was Patchwork ...

where to stay in Southern Queensland Country
In my book, Mondays are good for one thing: planning your next escape. For the next three weeks I’ll be bringing you snippets from my recent waist-expanding visit - where to eat, where to stay, what to do. I expanded my horizons (and my midriff) in Southern Queensland Country as a guest of Southern Queensland Country Tourism & Tourism Queensland. This week's instalment is three beaut ...

If you ...

I've come to learn that if I don't take the time to grieve, it catches up with me at the least convenient times. On Friday I fell through the rabbit hole and into my first blog which I started in 2008. (It's sole focus was distributing baby ...
I’m Pinning Around Pinterest Link Party
This week's I'm Pinning Around Pinterest Link Party is coming to you from home sweet farm. Exploring Southern Queensland Country was fabulous. I've spent the past days over-indulging in loads of good food, so it's probably no surprise that my favourite post of this week is an old-fashioned recipe. You can't beat a good Jam and Cream Sponge and Lauren from Create Bake Make's recipe looks like a ...
