A Sustainable Journey: June 2014
http://asustainablejourney.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 15, 2014. This week at my place. This week after deciding to lose weight and get fit just after Easter I jumped on the scales and did my measurements to be surprised with a 3.6 kg loss I think I took the measurements about 6 weeks back. I've also lost 19 cm from chest/waist/hips with a good 9 cm from waist so very happy with that! I did manage to make this though from our school cook book. Last week when I went in to help with school gardening group one of the other helping mums gave me thes...

A Sustainable Journey: February 2015
http://asustainablejourney.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. Finally I have finished my project I saw on Pintrest. It said it would take 45 minutes and I did cut in half to make 2 and even with that modification i think it actually took about 4 hours. I had to wait for paint to dry and I'm fairly busy so it took a good month for me. I had spare pallets lying around so I did think why not? Got the tiles on top from Bunnings. They were only about $3.50 and the paint we had also stored from another project. Monty and the smallest child.

A Sustainable Journey: May 2014

Saturday, May 31, 2014. Home made laundry detergent. This week I ventured into the art of making home made laundry detergent I felt I needed to find to save in the home and that this would be a good start. I have calculated it will be about a $300 saving per year for my home made detergent compared to the shop brought stuff and this is the process. The recipe calls for;. 1 cup of soap - I just grated 1 bar. 1/2 cup of borax - I did not add this it's no good for grey water systems and reusing on the garden.

Thursday, January 29, 2015. Summer Jam and Produce. This is my second year of making jam and we had a bumper crop of Apricots and plums, I made a really yummy apricot jam with these. Not enough though as we ate so many of the tree. Overall I collected about 3 baskets this size of plums. I made about 4 kilos of jam and the first batch was small and came out well. The aroma of jam is so nice! I added Apple to it as well for added pectin. I always have a helper in my garden. Sunday, January 25, 2015. I rare...

A Sustainable Journey: July 2014
http://asustainablejourney.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 13, 2014. Garden of St.Erth. Today I took some time off work, after many phone calls to clients to let them know I wasn't working and took my youngest two children to the Garden. My eldest would not come with me, I realised I have now partially lost him to these sort of family events, so it was a bittersweet day really. This is homestead that is part of the Diggers gardens. It has the most magnificent garden surroundings and I am blessed to know one of the horticulturalists that work there.

Sunday, April 12, 2015. I was chatting to an acquaintance this weekend about our old neighbourhood and I made the mistake of googling my old address. I was suprised to see the house was gone. This is what is used to look like although much more overgrown than when my parents owned it. It's not on a corner but it seems the picture has been taken with a panoramic lense. Now it looks like this;. April 12, 2015 at 3:59 PM. Oh Sue, thats very sad about the house being gone. Whats happening next door? I rememb...

A Sustainable Journey: Daylesford - First visit.
http://asustainablejourney.blogspot.com/2015/05/daylesford-first-visit.html
Saturday, May 9, 2015. Daylesford - First visit. In the past week, I have been to Daylesford twice, I live about 25 minutes from there and for those that are not aware Daylesford is full of mineral springs and surrounded by forest and is the spa capital of Victoria really with lots of massage therapists and alternate shops and great cafes. Last Sunday I went to the market there and took my eldest and youngest child and also stopped in at a beautiful open garden there called Wombat Hill. I like this idea.
