Sara Interrupted
On Kiwiology since: February 2nd, 2010Sara Interrupted started out as a update in a political newsletter and when I moved on my ramblings stopped and have been percolating ever since. Now with a downsized, semi rural life in Mid Canterbury, I organise events, clubs, meetings, people, coaching all sorts of things for a larger organisation and have time to scrape the rust off my writing and report on my eclectic life.

The Frugal Kiwi
On Kiwiology since: February 2nd, 2010Who is this Kiwi, you say? Well, in the spirit of full disclosure, I’m not a real live New Zealander; I’m an expat from the US South. But “Frugal-American-Expat-Ex-Southern-Belle-Who-Has-Been-Living-In-New-Zealand-For-Years” just didn’t have the same ring to it as “Frugal Kiwi.” And just think of the nightmare of coming up with the logo.

Under my hat
On Kiwiology since: May 27th, 2009It’s good to have a record of what we have done and what we are doing, and this is what Under My Hat blog is for. I love cooking and I get excited when I come up with new recipes for the particularly prolific vegetables I have. I also like growing slightly different veges, things which are a bit gourmet. I am an organic gardener living 8 minutes by bicycle away from the centre of the city, which in Christchurch, is Cathedral Square. I also give away freebies occasionally, at the moment, it is heirloom seeds.
