Simple things

Thank you for your sweet messages in my previous post regarding lists & things to do, but I can assure you that I do sit down to enjoy my tea and don't worry too much.
I know that if I don't enjoy the simple things in life then what can I truly enjoy.
So today we enjoyed the simple things and hope that you have to.

I'd love to hear some of your simple things, the ones that make you smile.
simple things are the best

    Oh, blocks and paper chains sound just perfect to me! Tomorrow we'll be cleaning house and hanging white lights around the cottage. I'm looking forward to it and to maybe some hot chocolate with a dash of cayenne. Yum. xoxo

I have been extremely lucky with blog giveaways lately and have won an extremely beautiful pack from the gorgeous and lovely Liesa at Handmade Heaven and a very supercute Bugga Bugs giveaway hosted by the very, very talented Alicia at The Red Deer , so a very BIG thank you ladies! If you haven't visited them yet, why don't you pop by for a visit and enjoy their fabulous blogs! So to give back to the good Karma giveaway fund, I visited a cake decorating store for some inspiration...and I came out with a box full of cupcake papers, that's about 600 or more. I think I was in that shop for a good 45 minutes, I am not joking, it's like a kid in a candy store...or a fabric store for my lovely sew crafty blog friends :) Now all you have to do is leave a comment, nothing much, just a hello or share a joke. I'll leave it open till midnight Saturday the 31st of October and also the end of Blogtoberfest and draw a winner from a hat or bowl or bag and announce it on Sunday...

Honey Jumbles

As the weather warms up the kids tend to ask for something cold and yummy to enjoy after school. Reading the ingredients labels on ice cream I feel at a loss trying to figure out what all those numbers mean, I mean really, it’s just ice cream, how many ingredients need to be in there after all. I love to try and make everything from scratch so why not ice cream, well I had a go and using an ice cream maker made it really quick and easy.
