Last week I had an MRI to take a good look at a niggling lump in my left breast. Today I met with the specialist and received the good news that the lump is benign and there’s no cause for concern. We’ll follow up with annual mammograms and I’ll continue to self check every month, but it’s all good news! So whilst I have a celebratory wine tonight, I wanted to remind everyone to check themselves and follow up with a doctor if anything seems amiss ❤️

A telltale sign of an interesting book is leaving the house early for school pick up so you can read in the car for a few minutes before collecting your kid! I’ve been reading and listening to many many books and podcasts about the FIRE movement recently, and this book is pretty much the holy grail of FIRE. Thoroughly enjoying it. If personal finances is a topic that excites you, you’d love this book 😜 . . . #fire #fi #yourmoneyoryourlife #books #bookworm #schoolpickup #abbysbooklist

Sending Matt photographic evidence that I haven’t yet killed the avocado tree he’s been doting on for the last few months. . . . #indoorplantkiller #avocado #avocadotree #green

My latest eco-friendly battle is against tissues 🤧 Tissues definitely have a time and place (I don’t fancy carrying a hankie full of flu boogers around in my pocket all day) but for the average sniffle a hankie works just as well as a tissue! Finding kids hankies has proved challenging however, mostly because I’m super fussy with this stuff. I want my hankies to be pretty, soft, not too expensive and preferably made in Australia. I spent a lot of time looking online for the perfect hankies yesterday before realising that I could just make them myself 😂 I used this beautiful organic cotton from @thenaturalloom that’s been sitting in my fabric stash for a few years, and my kids love them! . . . #ecofriendly #reducereuserecycle #hankies #handkerchiefs #sewing #abbymakesstuff

All the rain we’ve had this week has deposited a fresh batch of rubbish in our creek. Mr 4 and Miss 5 pick up all the rubbish they find, determined to save the turtles and fishes. At what point do we lose that deep love and concern for nature and give up trying? Kids get it, and they’re willing to do something about it. I think that maybe they see the bigger picture better than we do 🌏 . . . #rubbishpickup #waterways #creek #litter #saynotoplastic

When we were first living together and Matt would go away for work, he’d stock up the freezer with meals before he left because I was a Uni student and a terrible cook and he knew I’d just eat Subway every day otherwise 😂 Pre departure prepping looks different these days - A ton of firewood delivered, a freshly baked cake and a restocked wine rack 🥰

For those concerned about the limitations of my yarn drawer, may I present the top of my tv cabinet, and the basket beside my couch 😂 . . . #yarnaddict #yarn #crochetlove #bendigowoolenmills

I reclaimed the LEGO drawer 🧶✔️ . . . #yarn #wool #bendigowoolenmills #yarndrawer

Resilient Miss Roxy is staying with us this weekend. A couple of very waggily tails and much playing happening in our backyard!
