My mother-in-law makes amazing fritters. Through the years, I have asked for her recipe several times and she faithfully writes it out in her very best handwriting. And then I put it somewhere. Then it is lost. I wanted to make fritters a little while ago and did not want to bother my mother in law again, I googled instead. What I found was a recipe for a delicious, light fritter that was almost an omelette kind of thing. Delicious. So {Read More}

I am linking up with the lovely Liz over at a belle, a bean and a chicago dog for some iPhone Photo Phun.The last ten days have been unprecedented in my life time. Oh my goodness. All of my kids were either sick, injured or in line for an operation. Add to that a planned holiday and 3 trips to a burns unit in the Big Smoke close to 2 hours away – and you have the recipe for some {Read More}

I am linking up again with inkpaperpen for ‘Write on Wednesday’… Today’s exercise (as written below) was to write a fictitious piece about the meaning behind a song. Instead of going through my favourite songs of all time, I thought I would write about the song that was currently playing in our house.

Kindle I am loving my new Kindle. I love {Read More}

As I write this, she is in theatre. *Deep breath. Deep breath.* I have read every blog I follow, too jittery to write comments. I have hung out all the washing. I am not nervous enough to do the dishes or folding yet.  I know she will {Read More}

The Coolest …. I have ever seen This hand knitted bear is the coolest thing I have seen in a really long time. Let me tell you why. Last night I had to call an ambulance. BabyCool burnt his hands and feet with some really hot water. I had decided that the mopping just HAD to be done at 6pm at night. I used really really hot, close to boiling water {so it would dry really quickly}. BabyCool was being {Read More}

Spring = Picnics Don’t you just love Spring!? The buds on the trees are beginning to appear, the sky is that amazing bright blue, the sun is warm, you can almost smell earth warming.
