About me

We live on a sheep and cattle farm in rural New South Wales, a long way from the nearest town. I have four children, a husband who is out in the paddocks from before sunrise, a dog who sits at the gate and a verandah where we eat when the weather lets us. Our days run on the school bus, the hens and whatever the lambs need.

I started writing down how we do it because other mums asked: how the bus run works, how the children share the jobs, what goes in the big pot on the stove. What I sell are the things pinned up in our kitchen and mudroom: a job board with cards for every chore, a week planner, a checklist for the door and stews that stretch to a second night. I write about family days, not farming. The farm is only where it happens.
