Easter is for Life, Not for giving Bunnies
Rabbits have nothing to do with Easter. And neither do chickens for that matter. I have no idea why we eat chocolate rabbits or chocolate eggs. And I REALLY have no idea why people think live rabbits are a good present for kids at Easter. I hate chocolate rabbits and eggs because I think they distract from Jesus and the Cross but I would much rather people eat chocolate bunnies than buy pet rabbits for their kids. So if you are going to get a rabbit for your kids at Easter Make It Chocolate.

Earth Hour 2010
We have participated in Earth Hour since it began in Sydney in 2007. This year the kids made candles out of bees wax courtesy of the lovely ladies at Queen B. They were teaching people how to roll candles at a special expo at Sydney Town Hall. It was great fun, quick and, best of all, it was FREE!!! The lovely ladies were very informative about why bees wax is the only kind of wax we should use for our candles. Well worth reading the reasons HERE. I really loved the Eco-bulb but the Beecups and Wedding Cake are gorgeous too. The Duck Herder keeps bees and you can read about her adventures in the hive HERE. I'd love to keep bees one day but since I have only recently overcome my bee phobia I think it will be a while until that day.

Currently I'm:
Watching :: The Good Wife
Reading :: The Hobbit to my son
Making :: an effort to keep the house clean
Eating :: less
Feeling :: hungry for the lasagne I can smell in the oven
Thinking :: that I need more chooks
Hoping :: hubby doesn't notice if I get more chooks
Wondering :: what tomorrow will bring...
Hearing :: my kids in the backyard
Liking :: the cooler weather
Wanting :: chocolate
Playing :: Monopoly with my kids, or at least pretending
Wishing :: that people and animals didn't have to die
Enjoying :: my husband going off to work every day
Coveting :: hens that are actually laying
