It seems to be time to start shopping and creating for Christmas. The wish lists have been compiled here and so the research and bargain-hunting begins. Some gifts I hope to delegate to the grandparents, so that they can purchase wished-for items rather than the latest plastic fad item from a department store. Other items we’ll buy for the children, and some wishes won’t be fulfilled or might be pushed forward to 2009’s birthday wish list…
Liz Parnell who writes for Natural Life and Mixtapezine interviewed me recently!
Last week my friend the green majikfaerie came to visit with her family. She blogged about their visit here, and the photos and video are cute, so I thought I’d link to her post.
Has everyone noticed that up the top I’ve added a page which is an index to all the recipes posted on this blog so far? I hope it’s useful for you too!

I am going to set a challenge to myself to try 20 new recipes in September. Most will be main meals, some could be baking or sweets of some kind. I’m hoping that this challenge will bring some variety to our menu, which seems to be lacking lately…
I’ve been to the library and have 3 great vego recipe books to browse, plus the seemingly limitless amount of recipes on the ‘net, and those shared at Simple Savings and Menu Plan Monday - I don’t think 20 will be too difficult to achieve!
If you’d like to join in, please do! Leave a comment to say so, and I’ll come by and see how you’re doing. Happy recipe hunting!
I was over browsing Libby’s Life is a Journey blog last week and spotted a mention of me in Wednesday’s post. It’s the Blogging Friends Forever award - how flattering!
The rules are simple.
Only 5 people are allowed to receive this award, 4 of them followers of your blog.
One has to be new to your blog and live in another part of the world.
You must link back to whoever gave you the award.
But I’m going to cheat and offer it to anyone reading regularly here who would like to play…
Thanks Libby! x
