...it could be the 12th depending on what you're counting, and I'm only starting from when I got married 9 years ago!
Yes... we've moved again. Probably no surprise to anyone who 'knows' me well.
Just before Christmas (again) we packed up and moved from the 'country' suburbs of Melbourne (Warrandyte, VIC) to the City. We moved from an acre to an apartment, what a change that has been.
Despite some serious nerves kicking in the weeks before, and some serious introspection in what the HELL we were doing...we've actually loved every minute of it and have discovered we might be city people after all. Who knew?
The kids have settled into new schools and I've enjoyed a new phase of life commencing where both of my children are in school full time!
For the month of February, at B's suggestion, we became vegetarians for the month. What a challenge! We both actually loved it and I highly recommend trying it just once. It forces you to think out-side the box for how you can sustain yourself and be creative in doing so. Additionally, an appreciation was gained, that I had not taken the time to fully harness previously, for the animals I use to subsist on. The experiment was beyond fulfilling and served to be an experience that fundamentally changed me (us). It is the catalyst for my new few upcoming posts.
As always, thanks for the comments and support. I have not been as good at responding as I'd like to be but so enjoy reading and rereading each and every comment, critique, shout-out (shout-at?) and 'hello' that is left for me. Kudos.

Moving from the country to the city is definitely a change but change is always good and it seems like you are embracing your new life with your family!
I am so jealous, Natalie! Your new kitchen is lovely. As was the last one. Glad to see you're still around. I've missed you!
Oh lord girl. I cant believe you moved yet AGAIN!
You hair is getting sooo long! Love it
How do you manage to find gorgeous kitchen after gorgoeus kitchen?! LOVE IT! And you look fabulous, as always. ;) I think you should do a post of all 12 kitchens...there have been some amazing ones! And I'd enjoy seeing the Korea one. Such a fun little place that was. Love ya!
Wow! What a surprise to see you posted! The kitchen looks great, excited to see your future recipes! What a trooper, 11 kitchens!
Look at you! Love the new kitchen- good luck in your new place!
What a pleasant surprise!! I was just looking up a hot garlic recipe, and voila! New post! Love the pic of you, and can’t help but miss your adorable munchkins complete with purple uniform!
I’ll be honest... I won’t miss the Doggy Bonezz post. I’m pretty sure I have it memorized by now...
Anywhooo,I am SO looking forward to any and all vegetarian recipes you guys discovered/created. xx
PS How was Usher? Please tell me you went!
Thanks everyone! So fun to see some familiar faces and friends in the comment pages!
Bellini: Thanks! We love it, it was intimidating but we've taken to it like fish to water. It is great to love where you live, makes such a difference. Hope you're well!
Lindsey: You are too sweet! That means so much. I hope life is rolling along great for you and yours!
Leslie: What can I say? Love you! I didn't get a chance to comment on your ice cream bread before my computers crashed but I'm so intrigued and I've got to try it!
Jocee: I manage to get a great kitchen since that is the first priority and requirement! The rest of the house can be crap so long as the kitchen is 'sanctuary-worthy'. Glad you like it! It is nice being in a smaller space where I have just enough room for everything! Xo
Hey Mom! Was wondering when you'd check your reader! Kisskiss
C, you crack me up! Haha, I got way sick of Doggy B's too. Lol, I actually really did (laugh out loud I mean). And YES, I did go to Usher last night in fact! I bought 2 tickets hoping someone fun would make themselves known and available which in the end ended up being my Man. Wasn't exactly his schtick, which kinda made the whole thing that much more funny. Good times. You better come next time!
Your new kitchen looks great, and so do you!
Welcome back to your blogging! I've been waiting and am so happy to see you posting again!
Congratulations on your move and the beautiful new kitchen too!
