After Easter

Hi All,

Easter was such a fun weekend, we spent time with family, went to a fair, ate too much choc, cooked healthy yummy meals, watched tear-jerking B grade movies and went on walks J

I feel so blessed to be able to share with Jasper the “country life” with Jasper so he doesn’t grow up to be a complete city slicker!!

He still loves the horses and enjoys helping Nan feed them in the mornings and night.

Milly also gets her slobbery mouth wiped by Jasper with the dog towel before she enters the house! (Milly is my Mum’s Greatdane “puppy” 6mths old)

We had a relaxing weekend last weekend, catching up on washing, cleaning and food shopping.

However we did manage to fit in lunch with some friends on Saturday and then hit the Pirate park on Sunday morning with another friend and her two children.

Then Sunday afternoon I cooked a lamb roast for Jasper and I which was very yummy and watched Jasper eat his broccoli, beans and new fav veg peas lol

I should mention that one of his fav things to have is salmon, I am not joking I cook it about once a week salmon fillets with veg J

Having food allergies like I do there are lots of things I can’t have so I tend not to cook up things like pasta’s and mushed together stuff . . .hence I guess why he is so used to eating just steamed veg and a meat product.

Finally I am going to read a parenting book, a late decision by my “bookclub” for this mths book!

Now my bookclub consists of one other person and we take turns choosing a book once a mth, not fiction books things like minimalist living, a quit sugar book, cooking book . . .basically things that make us think outside our worlds and maybe learn something new J

If anyone wants to join just yell out, doesn’t matter where you live as we chose ebooks and don’t do deep discussions etc about them!!

This month I won’t be having a child free outing because next month I have two (2) I know right WOW lol

Thank you to those people that are reading and for the few of you that have commented it does feel nice to know that people are reading and taking the time to comment J J

Easter things we made :-))

Hi All,

I can honestly say that I had a blast making all of these things, it was such fun and something I plan to do regularly for Easter :-))

I have received some lovely feedback and some so so feedback (for an early batch of rocky road that I did).

We have already received far too much choc so I keep saying that we will be sharing it with Nan and Pa (and anyone else we come in contact with!!).

Okay this was just a quick post to share some homemade pics.

Happy and safe Easter to you all :-))

Love Cazza

Pre Easter Fun

Hi All,

This weekend saw Jasper and I split our time between baking and being social :-))

We had a blast in the kitchen and then such fun visiting with friends being Easter Bunny.

Jasper was a huge help in the kitchen unwrapping about 24 easter eggs and putting them in the middle of the cupcakes for me. Then also helping me shell peanuts and general mixing help.

Sunday was our Easter Bunny day which also saw Jasper recieving some awesome Easter presents which weren't choc Phew people know me well :-))

It also meant we got to catch up with a friend we haven't seen for ages who just happened to be home as we were leaving the Easter present at the front door.

I am a lover of all holidays, birthdays etc. Any reason to celebrate and make a day different from the normal I am up for it in a big way. Being able show Jasper the joy of different holidays is making it even more special.

I hope that you all had a great weekend too!

Love to All

End of March catch up

Hi All,

Suprise and Shock I am going to write a post!! :-P

It's been a long week, both with work and with Jasper.
He's having a grumpy week which hey he's entitled to as we all are, but do you notice that our children are always in a bad mood when we least want them to be lol
I always try to make sure that we end the night in a "happy place" and say goodby at daycare in a "happy place" the age old thing don't fall asleep on an argument!

Tonight I am actually leaving Jasper at home with a friend so that I can go out for dinner with another adult who is also leaving her children at home (with their Dad).
This will be the first time since New Years Eve that I am going out without Jasper . . . .that's one resolution I am not keeping too as I was supposed to be aiming for one adult outing a mth oooppps.

Jasper is enjoying Daycare as always though I have noticed this week that they haven't been moving him up to the preschool room, I am not sure wether that's because they are having a terrible time with staff illness or wether there is another reason.
He isn't 3 until June which is when he is supposed to move up to the "big" room but he has already started going up some days, or even half days etc as most of his friends are older and are up there. Also they have moved a large amount of the younger children into his room which means there aren't too many left in there that he can talk to as his speaking and comprehension is advanced for his age.
I am worried that he is going to start going backwards . . .which I am sure is a silly thing to worry about and it probably means that I need to start reading some child development books!!
But really people should I be worried that he might not be getting challenged enough?

My update hmmmm my new contract role is going okay, it's been a mth now and I atleast have completed all the training and have access to everything etc.
It is just an adjustment period and meeting some people to chat to at work to help pass the days quicker!

Easter is around the corner and I am looking forward to some days in the country at Mum and Dad's, fresh air and some chilling! Plus of course Easter fun with the family :-))
Jasper and I are making cupcakes with an Easter suprise this weekend . . .then we are going to make some rockyroad when we get to Mums!!

What are you all up to??

Love to All

It's 2012 Y'all!!

Hi All,

SO So long since I have last blogged but as I am commenting on other blogs a bit more I thought that I should atleast put some new pics up here for people to look at if they happen to follow the link to my blog :-))

A brief update, we are back in Perth after driving around the top half of Australia to come back last year which was an awesome "big adventure" which is what I called it for Jasper!!
WE had a ball such a great time and some good time together :-))

Jasper is amazing, smart, compasionate, caring friends with all the girls but still a boy who loves playing on his bike, being at hte park, loves the beach and pool and still loves Nan's horses . . . .umm is friendly, but can still be a bit of a sooky lah lol

I am working full time, being a Mum, catching up with friends, not cooking enough, watching all my shows and dreaming of a day when I don't have to work quite as many hours a week!!!

I may attempt to blog more but we'll see . . . .maybe if we embark on a new adventure . . . . ;-))

At the Zoo late Feb 12

Same day

Love to all
