My Instagram

We found a little egg underneath the passionfruit vine. We searched and searched but couldn’t find a nest that it might belong to, so it’s now a little treasure for us to admire instead. There’s been much discussion between the 3 and 4 year old about where we should keep it so that ‘it doesn’t fly away’. . . . #backyardtreasures #egg #found #kids #spring

My weekend plans. . I’ve loved every Helen Garner book I’ve read, but I’m a bit concerned about this one 😬 . Also, I’ve been grappling with this Insta business lately. I’m sharing less and less as I struggle with being a contributor in this ‘false perfection’ stream that Instagram often seems to be. . This is such a great space for finding likeminded people. I’m so thankful for the fellow crocheters, bookworms, green thumbs and other slow living enthusiasts I’ve met through this platform, but I worry about the picture I paint of myself in these little squares. . I want to make clear that these photos show just one second, in a day full of seconds, minutes and hours. All the other seconds of my days do not look like my Instagram feed. . I’m saying this as much to convince myself as anyone else. Don’t compare the worst seconds, minutes and hours of your day to the most ‘instaworthy’ second of someone in your Insta feed. . On a day that I share a cute photo of my kids playing nicely, I’ve probably also lost patience with the kids multiple times, ignored them for 15 minutes while I zoned out on the couch with my phone, ignored a pile of washing on my couch for several days or bought McDonalds for lunch because I couldn’t be stuffed making a few sandwiches. These are the things I don’t share on Instagram, but I assure you they happen. . Perfect Instagram feeds do not equal perfect lives. . I need to remind myself of this as I ogle the amazing lives of those I follow, but I also want to assure you all that I definitely don’t have my shit together either. Instagram is just the rose coloured glasses. . And on that rosy note, happy weekend folks xx . . . #helengarner #abbysbooklist #chocolate #bookworm #reallife #insta

I planted out a big patch of poppies in my backyard. Probably 40 seedlings, and they all started dying off before they flowered. But this one little flower has survived 💪🏽 . . . #poppies #poppy #flower #flowers #spring #garden #gardening #battler #flowergarden #abbygrowsstuff

A little bit of Thursday night slate tetris. This feels like a game that would be far more enjoyable with a glass of Rosé in hand 🤔 Hoping to have this finished up and ready for action by the end of OcSober, to be properly christened in November🍷 . . . #backyard #Tetris #slate #slatetetris #wip #inprogress #underconstruction #ocsober #bringonsummernights

We explored the Chiharu Shiota exhibition at @artgalleryofsa today. These little people were captivated. . . . #chiharushiota #artgallery #southaustralia #artgalleryofsa #red #art #explore

My first crack at sewing shorts! They’re far from perfect, and I made many mistakes along the way, but Miss 4 loves them and that’s all that really matters 😊 . . . #abbymakesstuff #sewing #handmade #handmadeclothes #shorts #handmadeshorts #kidsclothes #handmadewardrobe #mummymadeit #slowfashionoctober

I have an incredibly long ‘to read’ list that I’m forever adding to, and (thankfully) a library that feeds my habit. I had The Tattooist of Auschwitz on hold for a few weeks and now looking forward to getting stuck into it! . . . #abbysbooklist #thetattooistofauschwitz #heathermorris #books #bookworm #library #lovemylibrary

Further enjoyment of Daylight Savings - eating nachos on the back lawn after I stuffed up dinner tonight, cracked the sads, and fed the kids two minute noodles for dinner. Husband managed to salvage failed dinner and make some cracking nachos 👌🏼 . . . #nachos #salvaged #guacamole #eyespyalabrador #labrador #labsofinstagram
