This week...

 
I am not a list person, I just do.  
Now remembering to do, that is another thing.

This week I just plan to do a few simple things, too many things and I get a bit flustered.


This week my most important thing is to hang out with the little guy, he needs me, he is calmer when we do things together, I get way more cuddles and "i love you mummy"'s and you know what...I love it, I can cuddle him all day long if he'd let me and he would let me.  

(and...I won't get angry with him when he falls off the chair at the cafe and spills the coffees & breaks the mug...)


This week I am going to send off some cards, just because I think it's nice to receive a handwritten message in the mail.  It won't be anything poetic or significant, just a hello because I want to.

I got random.org to choose some names for me from here


Can you please email me your addresses girls, if you don't mind, I'd love to send you a card.


This week I'm playing along with this chick, i hope you can play too.

Hugs to you this week ♥

    Sounds like a great, relaxing way to approach your week. I am a list person- because I do forget. Every increasingly, it seems, as I have hit my 40s...

    Such a sweet post! You seem to have a great relationship with your kids. That's wonderful! As always, I love your pictures. I love how they are the same width of your posting area. I have started having mine the same size, and I love it! Hugs, Natalie <3

    I made a 'to do' list for tomorrow. It's my birthday and I want to thoroughly enjoy it. This way I can celebrate in multiple small ways AND have the satisfaction of crossing them off my list!

Would you like to win some cupcake papers!

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

Image
I just realised that I have been using honey and spices in alot of things lately, I guess it's because it's winter and the smells and tastes make you feel warm and sweet. Have been thinking about making Honey Jumbles for a while and saw them over at Liss's the other day and definitely had to try them as they look and believe me they smell soooo good!  My critics advise me they are delicious and very moreish. Honey Jumbles ingredients 90g butter 3/4 cup honey 2 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 1/2 teaspoons mixed spice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons milk   icing 1 egg white 1 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted vanilla extract  strawberry paste Method Place butter and honey in a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil over a low heat. Simmer for a few minutes, then allow to cool for about 15 minutes Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices and add to butter mixture, gently stir in milk.  A...

Berrylicious ice cream recipe and a giveaway for you

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. Here’s a basic recipe I made using a Cusinart ice cream maker Berrylicious ice cream Makes 1 litre Ingredients     ¾ cup whole milk   ½ cup sugar or honey if you prefer 1½ cups cream 150grams mixed berries, thawed and slightly mashed with a fork Method U sing a mixer or hand whisk, mix milk and sugar in a bowl for a few minutes until sugar has dissolved   Add cream and mix until combined Turn the machine on and pour the mixture into freezer bowl, and let it mix until thickened, about 25 minut...
