My note this day December 17, 2011

I’m up at an insane hour on a weekend. The morning’s cool, the sky a grey so typical of December days. I make plans to wrap, send, wash, cook, read – all before the missy opens her door and walks up to me drunkenly with tousled hair, wrapped up in her long onesie. Then I realise I’m no supermama and I should just soak in the morning in the slowest possible manner. I’m guilty of rushing, guilty of trying to do too many things all at once. So I blog with Latte at my feet, and surfing for recipes, and doing the laundry, and registering my AppleCare, and donating online and smiling. Ok, still trying to do too much, but these can’t wait, no?

This season, this year, I’m blessed with much, and giveback shouldn’t take a backseat. Somewhere out there, I hope the kids and folks are happier with the little we have given. A little each person makes a difference, so let’s do what we can to make this season just a little better for everyone? This season, may there be warmth and love in every household, in every heart.

Blessed day, blessed holidays to you.

Food fun December 17, 2011

My favourite food things::

<3 Eating yoghurt with a cookie as a spoon

<3 Digging out of the ice cream tub with my massive pink spoon

<3 Eating a cake and knowing there’s another for later

<3 Sipping coffee and hearing the timer ring to say cookies in the oven are ready for popping

<3 Punching bread out of little cutters and moulds

<3 Biting into a heart-shaped boiled egg

<3 Sitting at my dining table with fresh flowers and my teapot (I don’t even need to eat)

<3 Seeing missy’s eyes widen with joy as she notices what’s on her plate

What are yours?
