You might have noticed that today I have added a link to one of my favourite new sites and resources, MamaBake.com. See that nice blue MamaBake button over there to the right? Just click on it and you will enter the wonderful world of MamaBake where mums (and sometimes dads too) get together to support each other in the quest to get a meal on the table each night before the kids fall asleep. Don’t laugh, I can attest to the fact that it does happen. Unfortunately, being an inexperienced blogger, adding this button has, at the same time, deleted quite a lot of info. from my sidebar, namely links to posts, categories, and most importantly About Me. We will eventually figure out how to get it all back, but in the mean time, if you are new to Plate4Eight, here’s a little about me:
Hi, I’m Rebekah, a happily married mum of six who also happens to be a cooking and baking addict and new accidental blogger. I live in Rural Sout-East Queensland, about an hour and a half from Brisbane . I have a 16 year old son who is itching to learn to drive, a 9 year old daughter with Type 1 Diabetes who loves to play her violin and dance her way from one end of the house to the other, 7 year old twins, a son who loves cars, trucks and bike riding with his dad and his twin sister who loves to paint and draw her life and hang it on mummy’s fridge. Then there is Little Miss 5, the happiest child I have ever met, very independent, and she dances and sings everywhere she goes, followed closely by her almost 3 year old sister who thinks she is the boss of everything and is a mixture of all of her siblings put together. To say life can be exhausting is an understatement, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Plate4Eight came about through my need to get organized in the kitchen. I no longer have time to go searching through cookbooks and folders for “that recipe we liked last week”, and the more organized I am, the more time I have to spend with my family and experiment in the kitchen, which is my form of relaxation. So, if you’re looking for something to have for dinner tonight, or just want to try something new, have a look around. I hope you find something you like.
