Friday treats

Made some flapjacks for Hubby.

Then felt bad and made nutty apple&banana muffins for Captain. Sugarfree and delicious!

Makes 12 muffins
Heat oven to 160C (fan)
Oil muffin tin

Mix in a bowl
* 210g self raising flour
* 1,5 tsp baking powder
* pinch of cinnamon
* 1 grated apple
* 1 banana chopped (or mashed, whatever floats your boat)
* handful of chopped nuts (optional)

Whisk together
* 1 egg
* 130 ml milk

Add to flour mixture, spoon into muffin tin, bake in the middle of the oven for 12-15 min.

Yummy!
What is your little one's weekend treat?

When people ask you...

"What is it that you do all day?"
"Do you not get bored?"
"How does it get you that long to get into town?"
"Does your husband not mind if the house isn't clean?"

This. No. This is why. Ha ha ha.

Building project

"I see another tree! Bump!"

Stopping to check that her shoes are still there

Spring

Stones make a brilliant sound

Some more flowers (or "sniff, sniff", as they are scientifically known as...)

Shadows provided entertainment every few metres
They clap and dance when you do, you know...

We made some dinner

And ate some too!
Captain's baby joins her at the table too. Her baby acts very similarly to Captain herself, by needing to be picked up several times through the meal, hugged, calmed and nursed.
She does this with great gentleness and patience, but doesn't appear to follow BLW with her baba, which we must have a chat about...

In addition to this we
had an imaginary tea party (mama had some real cake too)
did the food shopping and carried it home (although Captain boobed and slept through this part)
sang songs
read a few books
watched Rio
did some dancing
helped Mr. Buttons with his homework
got the fire going
hung the washing outside to celebrate the sunshine (my inserts thank me!)
fed an uncle (I made the food, Captain fed it to him)

Now we are tired, but happy.
She is sensible and asleep.
I need coffee.

Happy New Year

The last BLW meal of the year.
Coconut rice and bean chilli in rosti form.

It has been a fantastic year of good food, lots of firsts, fun and friends.
This new year's eve I'll be skipping resolutions and focusing on just enjoying life just like I did for the whole year.

Time to stick on some party food, have fun with friends and enjoy snuggles with The Captain, when she wakes up to nurse again.

Happy New Year, everyone!
