Let's Get To Know Each Other...

I've had little sleep.
I spend my hours up feeding, burping and resettling my 3 month old baby boy.
I have been drawn to a site called piccsy.com
It has so many images that bring thoughts from my head out into the world.....

This morning I had a coffee.
I needed it.



I love cows...



I'm a vegetarian....



I miss farm life...



I love all things crafty and artsy...









I love fashion design, though I haven't the time or resources...









When I was young I wanted to be her...



Just so I could have a pet tiger...



I'm a bit of a nerd...







Who loves Lego...



And comic books....



I am terrible at doing pretty make up, I wish I could do this...



And this...



I have a thing for rainbows...







I miss these days...



Maybe someday I will sleep in again, lie in bed under the blankets and not have to leap out of bed straight into "mummy mode".
But of course it wouldn't be the best unless the bed was full, a family of cuddles to start the day.

Creative Cakes

I love to bake.
I really, really love to bake.
If I cannot bake, I love to look at cakes and dream of recreating them myself.
It's not the eating of the cake I enjoy the most, it's the process.
It's the mixing.
It's the baking.
But most of all it is the decorating.

I found some pictures of amazing cakes I want to attempt someday.
I will share them here, as a reminder to myself, so someday I will come back and remember....
And then, create!











































So there it is.
A tiny sample of some of the cakes I wish I could bake.
Some I might.
Some I could never recreate.
But one can always dream, right?

On My Mind...

I want to eat more chilis..... But my plant has refused to thrive in the cold weather.




After watching the most adorable documentary on polar bears and their cubs I have decided I must have one as a pet. I know this will never happen but at least I can still admire their cuteness.




Is it strange that I miss our old pet goat? She was a pain, she was loud, but she loved me. She really loved me, she cried when I was not around, she playfully jumped and ran around the backyard with me and nibbled on my toes when I hung out the washing. Maybe some day I can get another pet goat.




I have lost count of how many days it has been raining....




......still raining....... (I need to buy an umbrella)





I woke up to the sound of my daughter crying from a bad dream. My husband had comforted her before I could get there. As I jumped back into bed the rain started so heavy I thought the roof might cave in...




I want it to be spring already. I want the sun to shine and the flowers to bloom. I want to pick flowers and let them fill our house with their sweet scent....

Quick and sometimes quirky.

*Sigh*
Alas, I cannot bake any sweet things anymore....
They attack my body...
In areas like hips, thighs and waist....
I lose the battle every time....
So it has to stop!
No more!
No more cakes,
no more cookies......

I am going to a gym every night of the week.
I have even been attempting Zumba at home most days too.
My little man sits and watches me make a fool of myself...



I am eating healthy.
Unfortunately that leaves me with no delicious photos....
No tempting recipes....
Only random bits here and there as I go between kids, gym and husband.....
And bed!

It leaves my hands free to do silly things (not snacking!)
Like take photos of my eye...



And of my cloth nappy stash....



So there I go.... Water bottle in hand....
I'll be back with more nonsensical jibberish....
Just minus the sugar coating.
:)
