This is us

This is us # 2: Me – Kelly

I’ve just realised, I have an inner hippie trying to get out! The evidence is stacking up:
– I love wearing bub in a sling
– breastfeeding on demand
– composting
– growing my own veggies
– getting fresh eggs from my mum or best friend’s chooks (sadly, our yard isn’t big enough for chooks)
– baking from scratch
– learning to make my own toys and clothes

And, I’m getting excited at finding great recipes and tutorials for making my own cleaning and beauty products!

Now, to seasoned hippie or natural living types this list (and self-revelation) is probably not that convincing. But it is like I have just had an ‘a-ha’ moment, and I feel really quite chuffed about it (and on a side note, I always use ‘chuffed’ to mean pleased to bits, while my partner always understood it to mean displeased – checking the dictionary it means both! Love it).

Anyway, one major revelation is probably enough sharing about me for today!

This is us #1: Wookie

Since I’m new to this blogging thing, I thought some introductions to my family might be a good starting place…. beginning with the elusive Wookie dog. Wookie, otherwise known as The Wook, is jet black and hard to capture well in photos (some ok attempts shown below). 
Puppy days

He is a monkey dog, in nature and name – literally, he is an affenpinscher which I am told means monkey terrier in German.
Working out the car seat with Master D

Wookie keeps us company, informed of movements in the street (seriously, I know when anyone moves!) and occasionally digs in one spot in my garden. When I happen to complain about the digging, my three year old Master D tells me ‘…but that’s what dogs do mum’ in a very matter-of-fact way. 

On his bed, oops, I mean my bed

Wookie has some other somewhat odd habits, including chewing bones on my feet (luckily the bones have been well chewed and so there are no meat remnants).

Well that might do for a start 🙂
