Mango summer ice pops
Mixed berry ice pops
Healthy chocolate crackles
We've been cooking dinner on the bbq every night because of a heat wave. Our thrifted bbq is an excellent cooker much better than our old wonky stovetop. Rob is super keen to continue cooking on the barbie through winter. I'm sure his enthusiasm will wain when the temperature hits minus 1 and the cold air hitting his chest brings back that weird whopping type cough from previous winters.
Anyway back to the kitchen...I've been making cool things to eat. I mean literally cold things. No bake, no heat; just make and pop in the fridge or freezer. My big one thinks my healthy sweet snacks are cool, as in big thumbs up.

I started blogging unsure of a specific purpose but I thought my blog could be a "home address" of sorts, linking back from comments I had made on other peoples blogs. I would like to continue blogging with more of a purpose and document our simple living pursuits. I need to get a digital SLR and put more effort to the look and feel of the site. Judging by my hodge podge blog you wouldn't believe that in my previous life (no children and a paying job) that I maintained a professional website with a very "clean" design. However this is our life right now with young children - a hodge podge of messiness and it is perfect and beautiful with all it's flaws.
Here's to an exciting year of blogging and making connections with like minded folks and joining in on some craft alongs.
