Why yes, I Always Bake....

I truly do!! 
If you recall in my last post, i boldly stated that i would attempt to cook something different....

Anzac Cookies....

NAILED IT

Bread from Scratch...

NAILED IT
....(ok, so it was more crunch on the outside soft, but it's the inside that counts!!)

Also attempted were Oatmeal cookies (with choc chips), Chicken nuggets and Pizza from scratch..Nailed it, Nailed it....and Nailed it a little bit...as in, we changed the name to thin base pizzas...totally edible!!

So yeah, I'm feeling pretty successful right now #insert smug look here#

Also, One book consumed!!  Seriously, Gone Girl....it may just be the craziest book I've read in a while....actually it may just be the only book I've read in a while.  The ending is not one i saw coming, but then i didn't really see any of the twists coming!  Awesome Read!!

Bring on the movie!!

And then there's these two...

This photo was taken about 3 minutes before we discovered Lachys developed an allergy to fluffy dogs!! 

Pics of this dude are getting harder and harder to get!!  Or at least ones that he's not blurred, or yelling "No pictures Mummy!!"

This lil guy, not so much...this is one of the few photos i was able to snap before he came racing up to put his face right in the lens...blurred snotty nose anyone?

My two Hams!!!  I had to hunt these pics down and add them in!!  How Awesome are these chaps??!!

 Oh right, about that housework that needed doing....So, uh, after searching for further evidence supporting the theory that housework is bad for ones health, and coming up empty handed, i have decided that further research is necessary...and uhhh...blah blah blah, business business numbers (Is this working??)

These are a few of my favorite things!!

 At any given time, i have favorite things in my life that i just love and can't do without!  I thought i'd share some of them with the world at large!!

#1    Always my two most favorite things in the world!!!! (These two are necessities!)

#2    Teething Munchkin

My boy absolutely adores this lil' toy!! Stuff it with solid, cold apple/pear and let him munch away!! He can get the flavor through the mesh but not any solids, and the texture and coolness of the mesh are just lovely on his gums!! (he also flips it around and gnaws on the rubbery handle for something different!)

Lachy modelling the teething munchkin!!

#3    Daisy

I love this perfume, not just the smell (although that's delicious), and not just the cute bottle, but because every now and then it lets me remember that i don't always wear trackies and singlets and smell like baby spill ups!!

#4    Healtheries Green Tea with Strawberry

I hate green tea.  I think it tastes like rotten grass unpleasant, which is a bummer because i'm so aware of how amazingly good for you it is!!  Then my wonderful hubby bought this stuff home..... Strawberry flavored green tea!  I must confess that i was skeptical about the ability of the strawberry to mask the hideousness diverse taste that is green tea.....but it DOES!! And it's delicious!!!  Because it's a limited edition tea, i sent hubby back to the supermarket to stock up!!

#5    Top Gear!!

I love this show!! Honestly, they're completely pompous, arrogant and sarcastic, but so hilarious!!  They take the piss out of everything, and the fact that political correctness doesn't even cross their minds is kinda refreshing and reminds me not to take life too seriously!!

#6    My Books!

I looooove reading!! I'm a serious nerd at heart and always have been!!  I'v gone from Famous Five to the Babysitters Club and Sweet Valley High, to Dean Koontz and Bryce Courtenay!  Some of my fav' authors are Patricia Cornwell, Jodi Picoult, Diana Gabaldon, Wilbur Smith, Stephenie Meyer (of course!)...I could go on all night!!  I love being able to lose myself in another world as i read, and i cant wait to teach my son the same!!

So there's a few of my favorite things!  I'm off to try and read now (since pregnancy i'v developed the annoying habit of falling asleep mid sentence!)  Have a great weekend everyone!! :)

Toodles :)
