Food Security – A Cautionary Tale
On the unfortunate events of the past week… This past week, pig farmers across the Mid North Coast received some devastating news – our local abattoir, Eversons Food Processors at Frederickton, have decided to stop processing pigs. The icing on the cake – they gave us less than 24 hours’ notice of their final day….
Natural Second Trimester Survival Kit
Yep, I’m writing this post about my favourite things for a natural Second Trimester…. on my due date! Oops. Suffice to say, life has been pretty busy. But I still have loads of useful tips to help you through your second trimester, naturally. If you haven’t read my first Pregnancy Survival Kit post, or if…
Natural First Trimester Survival Kit
It’s all I can talk about, I know – this pregnancy and everything about it, including now the things that got me through a natural first trimester. What is a natural first trimester?

Maybe it’s just too close to their dinnertime but you need a little something to pull you…
Thermomix Menu Plan – February 27

Spelt-Linseed Bagels
