My little green thumbs

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife August 19, 2010March 4, 2012
August 19, 2010March 4, 2012

I have made quite a few dinners recently that required chives and spring onions and have found them quite expensive to buy at the shops.  As they seem to be a regular on my shopping list I thought I will try to grow my own. 

On the weekend I made a trip to Bunnings (love love Bunnings) and purchased 2 gorgeous pots and some seedlings to start my own crop.  I have tried a vege garden in the past, but sadly all that seemed to survive was the parsley. 

I gave the pots and seedlings to my kid and they planted them up for me, they love gardening.  Herbs are really easy to grow, which makes for a great activity for the kids.  My kids love the responsibility of watering them each day.

Have you got a little vege patch or pots of herbs? This would be a great weekend activity for the kids.

Meet my kiddies below the twins – DD#1 & DS (excuse DS he has no idea how to smile for the camera) and little DD#2:

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Making changes in the home isn't always easy but for 14 days, everyone has impressed me with their hard work and positive attitudes. Knowing that there were so many out there doing the same tasks with me every day motivated me too!
