It is amazing how much money slips through the fingers so effortlessly.

My problem is that my husband tends to be a picky eater when it comes to certain fruits and veggies. But, in his defense, he was not exposed to much variety as a child and has vastly increased the foods that he will eat after living with me for so long. 😉

They are a young couple with two darling little girls who are growing up way too fast. There is so much pressure on young families today to do and have it all, I blame Facebook as it is too easy to see what other people are doing and there is that stupid saying- FOMO, fear of missing out, I turn that saying around to mean – Fullfill oneself more often. I strive for a simple and small life and dearly wish it for all members of our little family too. Thanks for a lovely post. Yesterday's was lovley too, I just didn't get a chance to comment.

Financially and otherwise.
I am working more and more towards that end.
Such joy in harvesting food you have grown, I find I value it more too now I know what is involved in growing my food.
Time saved from 'recreational shopping' frees me up so that I have more time to do the things I really want to – time to visit the allotment, time to spend with friends, and time to find more ways of cooking the occasional 'glut'. 101 things to do with choko!

We do most of these things without thinking. A birthday picnic with little grandsons at a big children's adventure park down the road turns into a lets have a taste of what we have all brought as it's laid on the table . A cute mini cupcake creation in the shape of number 5 on a pizza oven tray. An egg and bacon Frittata still in its oven dish. Various dips and crackers. Abundance of sweet oranges cut into wedges. Veggie sticks. Thermos of piping hot water for the tea and coffees and for a husband going off to some work an early lunch. Spaghetti in tomato sauce with chopped up sausages steaming hot in a wide neck thermos .
If we look at our actions we may well see that we are doing things quite simply already and can pat ourselves on our collective backs.
I love your blog and wish at this moment now being winter and cold in Sydney that the garden wasn't so bare…still I guess a time and a season. …and I do have a few herbs 🙂

Thank you so much for writing such an inspiring blog 🙂

I found your blog through Rhonda at Down to Earth. I am almost finished a certificate IV in Permaculture through TAFE. I have gained so much practical knowledge through my studies, and a much deeper appreciation of permaculture.
