Baby tooth

 

Amelie lost her first baby tooth, I nearly cried, we were at a little friends party, I felt so emotional, it's just a tooth, but it feels like she is different, she's only 5...
I didn't know how to feel, so I baked, I baked her some cupcakes. 
Vanilla cupcakes, with a secret, I folded  a chopped up chocolate bar to the batter (chokito) and a chopped chocolate bar in the butter cream, you should try it, easy.

She woke up to a book this morning and a five dollar note.  She doesn't know whether to believe in the tooth fairy, she wants to ask her friends at school whether the tooth fairy is real...because they have lost teeth and they know!


Did you have a good weekend, anything exciting happen?

Is the tooth fairy real?

    It's hard being a parent watching them growing up and having these milestones, they are very special. Gorgeous photos Cathie of your little girl, the colours are beautiful.
    I went to the textile show today and met Sandrine which was a lot of fu and tomorrow I think we'll stay home and keep dry, it's been a wet weekend here. Enjoy your Monday holiday. xo

    I cried when my Master J (my youngest of 3 and aged six) lost his first baby tooth a few months ago. I was devastated. Don't quite know why - probably my last baby growing up! xx Rach

    Jake (aged 7): "Of course fairies are real Ella. What about the tooth fairy?"
    I told them that if you don't believe, she won't come!!

    You are such a gorgeous mumma, Cathie and the emotion is so understandable. I believe cupcakes fix everything, especially when cooked by you. And yes, I've decided to 'believe' in all those imaginary things from childhood again for as long as they bring magic to Lily.

    What a lovely way to celebrate a milestone.
    We struggle with the tooth fairy, we have heard about what she is but explaining that it's all about teeth falling out is freaking out my 4.5 year old!

    I've been through this with my first and my second is just about to start. I haven't found it too traumatic as I have been too busy reminding the tooth fairy to do her job.
    I am more stressed about the fact that somewhere in this house are 6 tissues with a tooth inside each one stashed by an absent minded tooth fairy. It's all a bit weird now :P

    I'd want to cry too.
    It's hard...all this change.
    We keep saying how big our 'little' Amelie seems now.
    And she is.
    It's lovely but heartbreaking at the same time.

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...
