The Naked Chef!!

Just a regular night in at home. Stu wanted to cook spaghetti bolognase, a dish the whole family enjoys including princess Jessica, our gorgeous brindle staffy!! Barbara, if you're out there,ignore the tatts, if you can.

The February Blues....

I have had a really awful week. It is the 4th anniversary of my darling Chloe's stillbirth and I am just devastated all over again, time makes it more bearable, that's all. It does'nt make it easier to look at her photos or to think of that day, nothing can change that. Stu and I are believing for our babies that will one day be ours so my faith is as strong as ever, it's just that my heart has a few chips out of it and I still have the occasional "sad" day but I always know there is someone else worse off than me

Stu ended up in hospital with severe food poisoning as well, on a drip with fluids and IV Morphine so there I was sitting next to him , no sleep, mind worrying but all the time knowing that God is in control and that's the most comforting thought - to know there is nothing I can do to change any of these things I simply have to let God's plan for our lives unfold the way in which he has planned!! I certainly intend to enjoy the rest of this journey...

Lokout Challenge!

Things that I Love???? Has to be white gel pen on black cardstock, flowers of any description, funky brads, a splash of colour and meaningful journalling- that will never change!

Cupcake Fiasco!!

I got up early today and decided to bake some cupcakes- first attempt ever! I accidently doubled the butter content as I had the icing butter out ready to go, then I had to get out more butter for the icing, a very decadent morning indeed.... The proof was in the eating, Stu loved them so they were not a disaster after all. Then just when you think it's in the bag... I was carrying them on the cake stand to photograph them when yep... I dropped two onto the floor, could not be retreived but now I'm going to have to get the dog's cholesterol checked!!! Nigella eat your heart out!!

Birthday Boy!!!

Can hardly believe Reilly is three years old!! Where has the time gone?? He was so cute with his birthday cake. Deb bought him an ice cream cake and he ate the entire chocolate surround. He is such a chocoholic this kid. He started to eat the candle but quickly abandoned the idea after the first taste- so not like chocolate!! Happy birthday Reilly, beautiful boy.
