Still Here

I realise I've been M.I.A but I'm still here. It's been school holidays so I've been doing stuff with the girls & family. At the moment I'm at another dancing eisteddfod- sometimes it seems like I live here! Then I think it's something Stella is passionate about, she wants to be professional dancer someday.I believe in supporting my children so if I live at eisteddfods, so be it. I'm a really, really proud mumma at the moment as Stella participated in the South Pacific Dance Championships and came first for her grade of ballet!! She worked really hard and deserved it.

In non dancing news I've been continueing with making various yoghurts. Both Breanna and the cat enjoy the Viili. As soon as its out I have to fight the cat off! With the water kefir I've been adding ginger and its fantastic. Last night I made muesli (granola). I didn't soak the oats but the nuts & seeds were soaked so not all bad. Next time I will pre soak everything, yes there will be a next time because it's delicious. I could just eat it with a spoon (and I may have done that last night).

I'm still getting asparagus from the garden, and I'm trying to be creative with snow peas. I do t know why they cost so much in the shops as they are easy to grow and very prolific! I made ranch dressing & it's a great snack with snow peas. Radishes and beet root are almost ready, tomatoes are starting to flower and the summer cabbages are going great. It's been lovely to sit in the garden with my morning coffee now that the weather is warmer. I look forward to watching all the changes in the coming weeks.
