Hello You!

I guess its best that I introduce myself first, before I take you on a whirlwind experience with my blog posts. My name is Melissa, I am a mum of 3 beautiful children (lets be honest, they arent always), a wife who runs the household, a chef in the kitchen of my own home, a supervisor of craziness and just someone who tries to get through each day.

I love to cook yummy healthy food from scratch rather than buying packaged food, travel around the world; even though there hasnt been much of that since having kids, growing things in our garden, using herbs and things from the earth for healing and just getting as close to living as natural as possible.

Lately my husband an I have been looking into doing things ourselves, I guess you could say DIY stuff, but things from scratch like growing our own veggies, making our own soaps, herbal remidies, health snacks for the kids, you get the idea. This is not only to save money in these hard times but to try and be natural and stay away from nasties. So there will be a fair bit of that in my blog posts and I will hopefully get some videos and pictures of these experiments (I guess you could call it) when we do it and tell you how it all goes.

I will post up some of my own recipes or recipes I use and love, blogs about life, being a mother, my life experiences, travel experiences/tips, our garden updates, quote of the week, maybe some cool products I use and love and just whatever I feel may be interesting to everyone.

Well i'll leave it at that for now and please stay posted for my first real blog.

Enjoy!
