    Mrs Goodness @ Instagram

    • Hello! I'm going to do something quite scary and a bit crazy now: I'm going to take a break from Instagram 😬. I've recently given my Mrs Goodness website a bit of a makeover, and one of the things I've added is a "Journal" page that will contain the sort of content I've been sharing on insta (and hopefully more). I really love my loyal and super-supportive little bunch of insta-followers (=you!) and I've had some really awesome interactions, I love my insta-feed, but there are some aspects of insta that just aren't doing it for me atm. I want to spend more time working on my own website, generating interesting blog posts and instructables, and engaging with my readers and subscribers. Perhaps I'm seriously shooting myself in the foot here, and maybe I'll regret it (I'll come back if this is a disaster 😂)... but I won't know unless I try. If you want to keep up with my goings-on I'd love it if you would check out my website (MrsGoodness.nz) and if you subscribe to my newsletters, I intend to put some effort into making them interesting and regular. Thank you for your support and understanding! 😍😘 Xx Esther
    • I'm back to making small batches of water kefir again, after a three-ish month break. The grains waited quite happily in the fridge and took only 2 days to get back up and running (see the bubbles on top?). My kombucha hotel also waited patiently for me, while its new SCOBY grew about 4cms thick! 😮 Thankfully these living foods are so very patient and forgiving... I don't need to start from scratch just because I didn't have the energy to keep it all going while I was down & out. I can handle making just a litre at a time atm, and I can't be bothered flavouring it with ginger or fruit but my kids love it just the way it is. Sometimes it's best to just #keepthingssimple so you can cope with life and enjoy it 😉. . . #waterkefir #kombucha #fermenteddrinks #probioticdrink #livingfoods #homemadegoodness #homemadeferments #realfood
    • It's midday and we're still sitting in a cold foggy damp cloud here... So what else could I do but bake us an ooey gooey chocolate brownie for lunch? Yes, we seriously just ate a still-warm-from-the-oven chocolate brownie for lunch haha! 😂 I used this recipe: http://eatdrinkpaleo.com.au/chocolate-brownies-that-blew-me-away/. I made it once before but it was sort of average, so this time I made a couple of tweaks: I used a (peeled) GOLDEN kumara instead of red, also added 1tsp ACV, and pinch salt, switched honey out for maple syrup, added handful of dark choc drops. Boy oh boy, it was DIVINE! Mr Goodness is still gushing about it now... Ps. Dairy-free, grain-free, refined-sugar-free, technically nut-free b/c coconut isn't a nut I think 😉 . . #chocolatebrownie #healthyanddivinelydelicious #sweettreats #gfdfrsf #chocolatedecadence #grainfreevegan #healthytreats #yummylunch
    • No more cold heads in this family! Daddy took the orange beanie so I made two more for the kids and showed them how to make their own pompoms. I find knitting seed stitch is hard on my arms but I just love the look and squishy feel of it! 😍 . . #iloveknitting #knittingkeepsmesane #knittingmummy #knittedbeanie #plasticfree #nzwool #plasticfreeclothes #saynotosynthetics #recoveryjourney #keepingbusywhilerecovering #seedstitch
    • I finished my alpaca cowl! It's gorgeously soft and squishy, and whew I think the colour suits me! 😅 Awesome pattern by @aliciaplums 🧡 A happy ending to a rough weekend - both kids and I were sick all week 🤧 . . #iloveknitting #knittedcowl #gettingreadyforwinter #wearingcolours #handmadeisbest #alpacayarn #knittingkeepsmesane #recoveryjourney
    • The kids have a joint birthday party to go to today so it's time to get drawing! They've spent the morning decorating the wrapping paper with drawings, messages, and Batman stickers to make really special gifts for their friends (plastic-free too, I might add 😉). Although we bought the gifts (books) it's nice to have the kids make a part of the gift they will give to their friends. . . #handmadewithlove #plasticfreegifts #giftgiving #plasticfreebirthdaypresent #plasticfreeliving #lowwasteliving #sustainablegifts #brownpaperwrapping #wrappedinpaperandtwine #paperandstring #mrsgoodness
