Orchids

I don't know how my mother does it but she can grow anything all year round, I truely admire her dark green fingers. As you I only have green finger tips and it will take alot more practise for me to get them as green as hers

Yoyo biscuits

These take me back.... I've had this recipe in "the book" for sometime now but like many things on my baking wish list they have taken a back seat to life in general.

Tonight the boys are out at Starjam and I'm home alone, I needed to make something for the boys morning or afternoon tea but didn't want to spend all night on them.

And now that Aiko isn't spending the day with Al tomorrow I'm gonna take the smallest one over for her lunch box tomorrow.

These tags were sort after by many on the day. The wearer (we joked) would have unlimited access to the kitchen, broom closet and the toilets...lol.

Aiko's 1st Birthday cake

Never again...lol. I had this brilliant idea my sister and I would be Ace of Cakes for a day. A "supposedly" 45min job turned into a 2hour job - minimum. There were lot's of confused looks before during and after this process but we're pretty pleased with the results. AND no we are not going into the cake decorating business, we will leave that up to the experts but needless to say we'll try anything ONCE.....

If you wondering why a Turtle cake, it's because when she cries she looks just like a turtle.

Me myself and the family

Of late I've been sick off an on for the past 2 months. Like others I've been hit with a chest infection, my synuses have flared up twice and now a sore throat as well as having to dealing with coughing fits etc...blah blah blah. I feel like an old woman talking about my aliments to anyone who will listen...lol. I been to the doc's AGAIN for my fourth lot of antibiotics and I'm desperately hoping this will be the end of it.

My poor family haven't faired any better - hubby has had a chest infection, Child 1 has been sick and Child 2 has been in hospital with pnuemonia(?).

So...to all you out there that have been sick - my prayers are with you and I hope you feel better soon.

I won't say I'm looking forward to summer just yet as they bring on a whole another set of problems - hayfever, asthma and migraines.

While in bed doing nothing but being sick, taking drugs and trying not to cough so hard my head will explode, while reading "That's Life" I found this cool thing to do and this will appeal to all those crafty types out there http://www.wordle.net/

I won't say too much but have a nosey it's cool I'm thinking of doing one for my boys and it will be a great tool for scrapbooking titles
