Well, I finally have my new food blog – Libby loves soup, salad and chocolate, all prettied up and ready to share with you.

I hope you’ll drop buy and check it out. And of course, if you want to read/see more please feel free to add it to your RSS feed. Also if you any suggestions for improvements or see any glaring errors please let me know. I’m quite excited about it and already it’s helping me to make better food choices .

Saw this fun idea for google search stories and thought it might be fun to make a holiday story since I’ve been working on our plans the last few days.

If you don’t read Down to Earth make sure you drop by today as my kitchen is part of “You, Me and the kitchen sink” series.

And welcome to any readers coming over from Down to Earth. Hope you enjoy your visit. Be sure to check out the various categories in the sidebar to see what you’re interested in. As you will see I write about a large variety of topics!

Here’s another few photos of my kitchen in action.

My appliance cupboard with standing bakeware underneath is one of my favourite features.

As is my walk-in pantry, with my aprons hanging on hooks.

So the lucky winner is Vanessa of Green Ness. Congrats Vanessa. Please send me your address at libby@withnall.com and I’ll get the mag/book in the mail to you ASAP.

Emma of The Syders was kind enough to pass on a meme to share my favourite photo. What a hard thing to do. To make it a bit more challenging I decided to choose from the photos not shared on my blog (as far as I can recall). This was taken on our Mexico cruise back in 2007. I had started blogging but did not yet know how to add photos .

I’d to see what you all choose for your favourite photo so please play along and be sure to let me know if you do.

Well, when I set the goal of a blog post every day within a week I wasn’t sure how I was going to manage. However, now that we’re at the beginning of February I have a growing list of ideas. It really is amazing how the more I’ve had to challenge myself the easier the ideas seem to flow. Now, let’s see if I’m saying the same thing in a couple months time.

When I opened the mail today and recieved the two free back issues that came with my magazine subscription to Clean Food Organic my first thought was to do a blog post to make sure all my fellow Aussies know about this great magazine. It originally started out like more of a book (which was expensive) but is now a magazine ($8.95 per issue).

My second thought was I already have one of these back issues so therefore I can do a giveaway on the blog. Yay!!!  So any of my Aussie readers who are interested in checking out the mag (book in this case) please leave a comment and I’ll do the draw on Friday.

Which means the winner is Jody!!!! Congrats! Please e-mail your address (to libby@withnall.com) and I will get it in the post ASAP.

Thanks so much for the wonderful comments on my last post. I already have a lot of family holiday traditions and think maybe I’m just putting unrealistic expectations on how I should be feeling – thinking I should be excited, whereas it’s probably fine to just be looking forward to the season. It’s very relaxed for us this year with not a lot going, which is a big change from previous years. So I’m just going to go with the flow and enjoy the time with family and friends, not keep on trying to find my Christmas spirit.

And what better a way to start than with a Christmas giveaway for Eric Dodges A Christmas Wish CD. It’s a lovely CD which I’m listening to right now.

I’ll do the draw on Friday. Please leave a comment – If you’d like you can share your favourite thing about Christmas. Everyone can enter the draw. Good luck!
