a weekly stills collection

1. Homemade hamburgers on gluten free buckwheat buns were a hit for dinner.

2. Dahlias = magnificent. Couldn't resist them.

3. Tacos are a great way to encourage kids to eat salad, set everything out and let them make their own.

4. Wonderful chocolate beetroot cake, recipe in my upcoming ebook.

5. A glimpse of me at Pete's sister's magical wedding on the weekend. I'll share that post soon because, well, who doesn't love a wedding?!

stills: a weekly collection

1. "This is for you mummy" Love Sol. My heart melts every time.

2. Apparently I thought whipping up a patchwork quilt was a good idea. Filing this under 'ambitious'.

3. We've been treated to puppet shows this week. I never tire of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

4. Shirts fit to wear to a christening.

5. My handsome guys (well two of them).

6. It doesn't get prettier than fresh roses atop this christening cake and china teacups.

7. Oh Sol. Drawn to the hundreds and thousands, only to discover on first bite "it's too rich mummy."

Cute story - We went to a friend's baby's christening on Sunday. The priest walked around saying hello to everyone before the service. He said hello to my friend's four year old and when the priest walked away our little friend looked up at his mum and said, "Mum! I can't believe God just spoke to me!"

I'm a bit behind with this post as I've been looking after River who has his first ear infection - ouch! so I'll be playing catch up a bit this week. I hope you've had a happy monday x

still life

1. Brunswick Heads market follow the sign for fresh juice by the Brunswick River

2. Pedal power fuelled the juicer at another juice bar at the market

3. Salad by the barrow full

4. A sweet herb pot on a Brunswick verandah

5. This snapshot does not do justice to the bonfire we had for River's birthday it was brighter and bold and very exciting for everyone, big and little people alike.

6. Bonfire revellers

7. The day after the bonfire dandelion tea party in the late afternoon sun

8. Lunch at Brunswick Heads health food store cafe

9. Raw chocolate mousse cake with rose petals, afternoon tea with chai at Brunswick Heads health food store cafe. Yes it was as good as it looks.

Sol is continuing to wake early (today it was 4.45am), sleep deprivation is taking its toll and early nights are the only way I can keep from being a very grumpy wholefood mama. Night time is usually my blogging time so these stills are here today instead of on sunday and the whole long list of posts I have lined up in my imagination will be rolled out at a pace that fits with what I can do instead of what I'd like to do. You know how that goes. Thought so :)

I hope you are having many happy wholefood times. More soon. Thanks for being patient xx
