About Me

Melbourne

I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the "burbs" when I became pregnant with my now 6 year old daughter Alyssa.

Here is a couple of pics of my property, one from the front & one looking towards DD's cubby house in the backyard:


Once Alyssa was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare.
She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way.

Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born.

I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so have quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & it is now a part of my everyday life.

In addition to zaar & being my daughter's taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping.



I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 1 dogs, Jack, 4 cats, Cougar, Snowpea, Fergus & Sylvester, 4 chooks & Chirpy the Rooster & 12 Guinea Pigs





As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & *****atoo's hence the name of where I live..




This is our resident possum muching on an apple & one of our resident echidna's on the search for an ant's nest, I've yet to get a photo of the wombat ...and am too scared to get too close to the kangaroos...



Another thing I've become addicted to since joing Zaar is swapping and I have participated in many swaps

A big thankyou to all my swap partners:
