Actually, any format that keeps the blog going is great for me, because your blog gives me hope: that my younguns can, in fact, be fun when they are teenagers; that a slow life centered around family can be a good one; that I can grow my own food wherever I am; that families in opposite sides of the world can relate to each other and as we do, so the world.<br /><br />I’m so glad you got some sleep, and hope it continues. With 3 kids 5 and under, I don’t remember the last full night I had, but never because I tried and couldn’t. I don’t know that I could cope with that. I’ll pray that it gets better for you, and that you are able to figure out the root. Blessings on your family!

I use essential oils and homeopathy before I use conventional meds and we've had such good results for all sorts of ailments. I am ever inspired by you, your way of life and what you are growing etc. This year, I have planted dahlias, gladioli, runner beans, chamomile, cosmos, tomatoes, nasturtiums amongst other lovely plants and flowers and we are watching them grow and delighting in the daily changes in our small city garden.

It's not fun. There are so many nights I wake at 2 or 3am and cannot get back to sleep. I try for what feels like half an hour, then I get out of bed and use my time wisely. I crochet, knit, read, watch craft podcasts, Netflix or research topics I'm interested in online. This week, while visiting friends the subject of sleeping came up. She told me about Karma Rub. She said is works great. 100% natural Australian product in a little squeeze bottle. Contains liquid magnesium, lemon myrtle oil, zinc, iron, copper and lithium. I can't remember if I have commented on your blog before. I always enjoy seeing your message pop up in my email. I love seeing your beautiful photos of the farm, your family and your knitting adventures. Your studio is going to look amazing. It is in a perfect spot nestled amongst your trees. Hope you're feeling better soon, Julia xxJulia @squeeze_cuddleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051321101768276215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-70824319902262717212018-05-26T05:18:22.207+10:002018-05-26T05:18:22.207+10:00I don't often comment.

I turn on a lamp and read my kindle until I am sleepy again. A kindle or a book does not cause wakefulness like other electronic media do. If I was concerned about waking someone, I would and sit in another room to read. I used to worry that I wasn't sleeping, especially if I had to be up for something in particular, but now I figure that I'll either sleep or I won't, and I like reading, so I might as well enjoy the quiet. The more you worry about not sleeping, the more you can't sleep, or so I've found, and I would start to worry about not sleeping long before it's even bed time. Reading works for my like nothing else ever did. Melatonin helps, too, but not always. I've tried trazadone, but can only take it one day in a row, or I am walking into walls. It doesn't always work, either. Good luck, anyway. If we're meant to sleep, why is the body so uncooperative? I ask you.excentrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04584711798584037492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-25645727616251799802018-05-26T03:00:58.379+10:002018-05-26T03:00:58.379+10:00Love your photos Kate.

Roof photos and all! :) :) You write beautifully and honestly and I've thought at least a dozen times lately that I wished I could hang one of your photos on the wall. I can't think of any other blogs that are written like a letter or a journal, friend to friend. So please keep it up! <br /><br />My daughter just completed her first year of public school and so this morning I am sitting in my pink, fuzzy robe, about to get a cup of coffee. The garden is bursting, the birds are cheery, and I'm desperately trying to let it soak in deeply.

Such a HUGE relief & a massive confidence boost for me. I feel like I've finally found my feet at Tafe & I'm kicking goals.
