I’m having some quality time with my sister and her family. I’m experiencing a world  I have never ventured into. The world of motherhood. Can it really be this exhausting! I’m loving every minute of it. Every day is a new adventure into the world of 6 and 8 year olds.Can there be this much competition at a young age!

A wonderland of play, a kaleidoscope of colours…

Making and baking things have strung a new string in my creative mind. 

What to make for the first day of school, lunch box treats?

The shiny new lunch box is filled with fruit,crackers,cheese,sandwiches(healthy) and of course that energy boosting sugar plus delight.

Here’s the favourite of my niece and nephews taste buds….

Chocolate Chip Cookies.

This recipe has been adapted from the Neiman Marcus recipe…had to look that one up! You can read about the recipe here…urban legend…status – false. What ever the recipe it’s going round.
