Weekend Catch up

A look at my week via the photos I have shared on Instagram. 

a candle in memory of my mums birthday today, a delicious Glasshouse passionfruit and lime smell through the house, reminding me of the passionfruit sponge cakes she made frequently.

this little poppet gave me a big scare this week rushing her to emergency, thankfully she is now all smiles. she loves our new addition to the family, couldn’t help myself had to get a swan she is gorgeous swimming in the pool every day. Swan available from here.  Swimmers are from Escargot Kids.

twinnies birthday celebration weekend. boys and girls about to go separate ways, boys go karting and miss tween and I for a pamperingIMG_7001

celebrating Miss Tweens 12th birthday. Mum and daughter time, about to get a pedicure. Ooh dear… this pic shows how much taller than me she is.IMG_7020

ooh my goodness not sure I can go back to getting a pedicure done any other way, this is a lovely way to relax and wait for our toes to dry. I received a gift voucher from my friends for this for my birthday and I shouted Miss Tween for hers.

Mr ooh so close to 12 asked for a red velvet cake for his birthday, about to smother this beauty with cream cheese icing

IMG_7049

Mr and Miss now 12 are on camp, Miss 12 was so disappointed we were meant to be at the One Direction concert tonight, but camp is more important. Miss 10 is loving one on one time with mum and dad.

I’m moxing it up with an afternoon of 50 shades of grey with a choc top in hand. Shoes from mox online.   

Note:  Lisa from the today show gave this move 1 star as she enjoyed her choc top, I had a choc top just for her, but I rated the movie 3 ‘choc top’ stars (I didn’t eat 3 choc tops LOL), out of 5.  The movie didn’t grab me, but I was left at the end of the movie wanting more.

What have you been up to this week?

Hi, I have been trying to check your blog for new posts, but the last post at the top of the list is the last 52 weeks cleaning. When I click on the logo, or the home button it just goes back to that page. I can’t see the latest posts unless I click on a category and hope that a recent post was posted to that topic.

Other than that issue, I love this blog and refer to it several times a week for inspiration and tips. Keep up the great work!

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
