on chocolate, baths, and capacity

Posted on June 24, 2014March 22, 2016 by Jodie McCarthy

As Mr travels overseas regularly, I am often left to manage house, children and daily life by myself. One of the stories of me 'managing' that has been retold ad nauseam is the day I flooded the bath. I was sitting outside eating dinner with the girls, and so I decided to run the bath for them for … Continue reading on chocolate, baths, and capacity

autumn

Posted on April 3, 2012February 8, 2015 by Jodie McCarthy

It is autumn ... finally! Autumn in Perth"officially" starts on the first of March, but it didn't arrive until Friday last week, which I make the 30th! The breeze is noticeably cooler, there has been rain, and naturally my thoughts turn to cooking. In this season of motherhood I am finding I want to cook … Continue reading autumn
