'round here

1. Kitchen windowsill: soy sauce bottle from Tokyo, succulent, gooseberry, hand-soap
2. Wispy curls. 

I forgot to write in my letter that when you get sick and you're breastfeeding and then your baby gets sick the only thing to do is treat yourself to naps, lemon & honey tea, wholesome food and early nights. There's just no space for anything else.

Our fortnightly organic delivery arrived yesterday and it was brimming with oranges, pears, the most violet of plums and deep-green broccoli (to name a few). I'll be snacking from the fruit bowl today and keeping an eye on Poet, because if this morning is anything to go by, she'll be snacking on moths (found on the floorboards). Delightful!

    Ah, yes, I have a little scavenger, as I so fondly refer to my little Autumn, who likes to scrape the dust she can find in the sliding door track or any corner that collects it for a little taste. She has also taken to trying to drink the water in the planter trays. So nice to know she won't let herself starve. :)

    Love your high chair Jodi. Where is it from?
    It's quite plain (in a good way!) and would sit nicely with other furniture... I'm on the high chair hunt at the moment...
    Hope you feel better soon. I'm lucky enough to have not yet (touch wood) gotten sick with Abi. I'd imagine the BFing would just drain you even more.

      Sammie, it's a side-of-the-road find. My parents painted it white and I bought a harness to strap around the back. Keep a lookout on council pick-up day! x

      Sammie,
      I just finished reading your comment and then logged onto www.ecotoys.com.au to search for an aluminium lunch box I spied today at my daughter's swimming lesson, and found the most gorgeous high chair made from recycled rubber wood - not too mention dozens of other eco friendly, beautiful things. I thought you might be interested. Good luck x

    They put anything in their mouths don't they! I bet moths taste like a teaspoon of plain flour, perhaps with a little raison inside (for the body of the moth). Lovely thought. Get plenty of rest and stir a little Vitamin C powder into your water or freshly squeezed juices. Powder works a thousand times faster than a tablet of any kind - grab some from the health food store or chemist.

      I take a buffered Vit C powder every day - it's a super duper one from my naturopath. I think this cold is me just a little run down - time to take it easy. Thanks for your kind thoughts K x

    I found Cooper eyeing off a daddylonglegs this morning, and I can bet just where he wanted to pop... and he is nearly two! ewww!
    Hope you start to feel better soon, rest up when you can,
    Luv Rhi xx

    My little girl used to be like that, these days I usually catch her eating fluff or playdoh instead very annoying as she is almost 5.

    I hope you get better soon.

    We received 8 capsicums in our weekly box. Who the hell needs 8 capsicums? Oranges, apples, nectarines, watermelon, potatoes, carrots as big as your arm, other stuff. Where are my juicy plums? x

    I caught Lalie this morning walking around with some type of bug in her mouth. It was dead when it came out, not sure if it was alive or not when it went in.
