Chill…

Nearly end of term! It’s been disjointed and almost as though it would never end well, but we’re nearly on holidays again (yay!). Sweet Bean had his work looked at today – he’s doing well… lots better than he thought he was!
We’ve had ructions these last few weeks… who thought it would be a good idea to combine an early teen boy and a not-far-off-50 Mum in the same household? Fireworks have been let off at fairly regular intervals lately, followed by a feeling of exhaustion. Consequently, I’ve just done the bare minimum of study this afternoon, and have been enjoying chilling out tonight. I’ll be catching up on “Angel” and then reading a bit this evening… 🙂

We’ve needed a lot of grace, and love, around here lately.

Daily reminders! 🙂

It’s a good life…
and a good family.
This evening is a good time to take a deep breath, turn the heat down for the weekend, and get ready to jump back into the fray…

Just to finish off – here’s today’s heart – fresh from the cupcake place.

Seeing Through New Eyes

The other day we went to get some cupcakes. Here is one of mine.

photo (34)Turkish Delight (yum!)

We hadn’t been in a while, so we enjoyed the whole “choosing-a-favourite-flavour” dance round the table. In front of us, though, was a mum with a little pre-toddler squirming in her arms. She was trying to hold her tray while picking cupcakes as well…
Think of the scene through the eyes of a round-about-one-year-old – an entire table covered in cakes – all different colours and smells! Lots of excitement, lots of wriggling. One very hungry little bean…
We were happy to be able to help by carrying the tray for her, while seeing our treats through a new pair of eyes. 🙂

Pre-Valentines Day!

Guess what Hubby brought home today? Yum! 😀

He dropped in to Di..licious down the road, where the specialty is cupcakes. This is a full sized one, although not as big as it probably looks – that’s a teensy little saucer that I found somewhere ages ago.. I don’t get to use it often..

This is the box it came in… and this is what was also in the box 😀

I’m thinking that’s a brownie, and a bite size Lemon..licious cupcake. I’ll know when we eat them.. the big one was coconut ice.

Tomorrow is another day..
I have a nice dessert planned, and we’ll have steak for dinner.. I’m off for a cuppa and cupcakes!
