Well it’s been a week now of staring at your face in our little cocoon. The house was ready just in time! I told you you could come when we have power and running water and you took it very literally! Your Dad was still digging the waste water trench while I was in early labour! Then you came into the world in the most perfect way, it was exactly the birth I wished for. I ignored everyone that doubted me because you told me to trust. Trust deeply in my body, in you, that you would show me the way, I held a deep memory in our primal ability to birth naturally and totally undisturbed. I avoided learning anything and let my instinct, you and my body take over. It was hard there were so many lessons throughout the journey, but it was absolutely beautiful, it was exactly the right of passage I needed to become your mother. It was just me and your Dad in the house he built for us while I grew you. Oh and Laszlo... who slept through the whole thing and tried to join me in the pool at the end. Thanks Leon Metzker for showing me that not only can you build me a container and bring my crazy ideas to fruition but you can hold me in the container of the divine masculine when it matters the most. Even though I wanted to do it totally alone, you were my rock grounding me and reminding me to breathe. You caught our daughter and put her straight onto my chest. It was pure transcendental magic.

Nourishing myself through this journey of maiden to mother also happens outside of the kitchen… Yesterday was full of adventure scrambling waterfalls with my big belly while I still can.. Sitting in the heart of the woods with wise women in ceremony, holding space for each other, laughing, revelling in the frequency of the forest, sharing the raw and real s**t, the rich experiences and spectrum of emotions life has to offer.. Tapping into my fearless wild woman as I prepare to head into the birth portal. Just over halfway now and feeling your little kicks for the first time was magical and is just a reminder of how powerful we really are..

Now just to finish building the house, preparing the nest and getting my kitchen up and running so I can start filling my freezer and cooking up some tasty post partum treats!

Today I was a beekeeper 🐝 Wow these little flying things are absolutely magical to observe at every stage the teeeny tiny little white egg like a minuscule grain of rice, watching the newborn bees squeeze their way out of their comb, the precision in which they craft their comb is out of this world, the queen and how she holds the whole thing together, the chubby little drones that live to mate, the little larvae curled up all cosy, just the whole thing is absolutely magical and we are so very grateful for all the work you do sweetening up our lives. Bees are an essential part of all life on earth without their work we would cease to exist. Destroying their natural habitats to build concrete jungles. Beekeeping is a great way to provide safe spaces for them to procreate and keep doing what they do best, planting trees and plants that native bees need to thrive is another way to help them survive. 🌻 🐝 🍯

Magic is real and it’s important to connect with the magic within us daily. There is within all of us an infinite source of divine inspiration. Flowing through us with force like a river when you choose to open the dam.. There’s a deep knowing that lingers in the background coming forth at this time. The knowing that we are capable of absolutely anything our minds can imagine without limitation. The magic is tamed out of us from a young age as we are popped in a box in a classroom and told the cans and cants and the dos and don’ts and should and shouldn’t and how to conform, how to be to a good little cog in a system that is designed to tame the magic out of us.

What would you do if you could do anything? Because that anything is possible. All you have to do is imagine. Leave fear, judgement and your ego in the backseat and let the magic drive.

Match the frequency of your thoughts, deeds and emotions and voilla watch it unfold 🪄

Viszlas are also powerful magicians and have this amazing ability to turn any frown upside down.

And her day finally came.. She was finally a Chicken Lady.. 🐓Handmade Egg Apron courtesy of my Grandma Jean 🥚 She knits a mean tea cosy too! 🫖

Slowing down is so important, paying attention, being present and finding peace and happiness within the mundane. That’s where the magic happens. Yes it’s chaos out there but if you can find that little place of calm within just be there and revel in it for a while. Trees help 🌲 Animals help 🐕 Flowers help 🌸 Real food really helps 🍉 By doing this you are helping the chaos more than you can ever imagine. We are an interconnected web of all things the more you can allow that feeling of connection to wash over every cell and move away from the feeling of separation that the system tried to create, huge shifts occur.

Feeding these feathery friends is my morning meditation, counting out the minerals and the garlic and the feed, paying attention to which ones might need a little extra love or the little cheeps coming from underneath the broody ones. Just taking a moment to admire my favourite rooster the sassy little bantam I named Timothy. Find your joy, follow your passion, focus on love and trust that that is enough. The rest will be taken care of 💚

Soo just thought I’d check in as it’s been a while since I’ve dabbled in socials… But I’m kind of doing lots of cool stuff so I thought I’d share a little update. I made butter this morning real hand milked nutritious and delicious cultured butter 🧈 I am also building a shipping container home which is my future commercial kitchen on a permaculture farm and life really is feeling so sweet… I joked earlier this year that I was going to pack up the house live in a bell tent and build an off grid house and well the universe heard me because now we are doing it lent us the bell tent, the place we did our permaculture course called and offered us a pad. It’s crazy how fast things are manifesting when you focus on love and not the chaos. After a healing trip home to our roots with a little stop in Egypt and Vietnam we came back to this beautiful new adventure with my chippy and my dog by my side Australia really feels like home. I always wondered where I would settle down and have my chickens and I found the place tucked in this little valley in paradise. Everything amongst this crazy eclipse energy has actually aligned and man living on land what a wonderful way to celebrate the end of this Ta**us eclipse cycle. Hands and feet in the dirt. Restoring our circadian rhythms. A farmer in training and bloody loving it 🐓 ☀️ 🌱 👩‍🌾

Another perfect example of greenwashing it’s about making people feel like they are doing the right thing so they feel better and don’t ask too many questions but behind the scenes it’s a s**t show.

We have to be the ones to make a difference it’s on us to create a better world for the next generation. We have to choose less plastic, less chemicals and real food. There’s literally no excuse with amazing companies like The Seedy Sister that will literally deliver all the good stuff to your door in paper bags and glass bottles completely plastic free.

Every single action is a choice, make it a wise one and support the change makers!

👉 Did you hear the news this week that the major supermarkets are not taking soft plastics anymore? It seems, once again that we have not been told the truth about where our rubbish or recycling has ended up. The soft plastics we thought we were being recycled through the REDcycle program, have actually not been getting recycled! They are building up in storage facilities or just being thrown out!

🌱 Hopefully this is a wake up call for businesses and consumers to try harder to reduce waste and support those businesses that do go that extra mile for Mother Nature. There are so many amazing businesses doing the right thing, either using compostable packaging, or no packaging at all.
💰 Money talks, if these big businesses realise that people are just not supporting wasteful practices they will also work harder too and push the world into a waste free future. 🌏

Instagram is hard, social media drives me nuts I’m just too busy living in the present moment. I always forget to photograph my food! I like to eat it hot and remembering to actually take a photograph is one of my biggest challenges in growing my food business but this colourful little lunch was just too pretty to miss.

Nurturing bone broth black rice with curried kraut, antioxidant rich red cabbage, beautiful beets and caraway and cumin cauli roasted in ghee.
