The Wallace folk visit Canberra

Canberra with kids - life on wallace

A few weeks ago, the Wallace folk spent a lovely weekend in Canberra. We headed down the highway to play tourists while our floor was being sanded and polished. Canberra is a fabulous place and there is plenty to do with kids. We were only in Canberra for a weekend, and we have multiple nap timesRead more

Get chucked challenge – Day 20 update

May 26, 2015 - Claire 8 Comments

We’re getting to the pointy end of the 30 day get chucked challenge, time for a day 20 update! I’m still cruising along with the challenge. Rather ashamedly, it is yet to test me. Honestly, I had thought that by the day 20 update, I’d be able to say finding things to throw out was hard.Read more

I am rather fond of a good scone. Yet, they’ve long been my baking nemesis. Then I discovered lemonade scones. Easy, delicious, and dare I say, fool proof, lemonade scones. I’ve no idea why lemonade scones work, but I suspect it’s got something to do with the bubbles in the lemonade and the fat contentRead more

Baby bibs at Life on Wallace

The dining room floor here on Wallace is almost finished, hooray! It’s great news as things should start to return to normal and I can finally fire up the sewing machine again. I’m reliably informed by the biggest lad that I’ll be sewing some Winter dinosaur pyjamas! I’ve got other ideas. One of my latestRead more

Get chucked challenge – Day 10 update

May 12, 2015May 12, 2015 - Claire 14 Comments

Here we are, well and truly in to my 30 day get chucked challenge. Much to my amusement there was a slight look of horror on Mr Wallace’s face when he realised that the 30 day get chucked challenge was cumulative. I’m not sure what he was expecting, but purging ourselves of 465 possessions was notRead more
