Could this be the reason?

That Baby M was 4 weeks early...?

On the evening that my waters broke, I was working on this little blanket. No - my waters did not break onto the blanket, this was my evening work and the waters happened closer to midnight :)

But, I was on my hands and knees working on this in the evening. Apparently, being on your hands and knees is a good way to get the baby into an ideal birthing position. Old wives tale says to mop the floor on your hands and knees while you are pregnant. I think this is an old HUSBANDS tale - a way to keep the little woman working even if she is 8 months heavily pregnant!!! Hahaha - what do you think?

Anyways, Happy Birthday Master J! I hope you and your momma find lots of cuddles under the blanket while you read books together.

Monkey See; Monkey Do

I was just monkeying around the kitchen... I had some dough leftover from baking dinner rolls and cinnamon buns (yeah - it was alot of dough!) and I had seen this idea from the Pioneer Woman previously. Cinnamon, butter, sugar and a dash of sweetened condensed milk - yes please!!! Ok, so maybe, just maybe, I accidentally on purpose put some dough aside just so I could indulge in this .... well, indulgence. And what an indulgence - worse still, an easy indulgence as I already had the dough. Caramelised cinnamon sugar with a bit of bread covered with sweetened condensed milk. I don't think I really need to say more. And, in honour of Father's Day, we had special "WE heart DADDY" pancakes... ok ok - I ran out of time, energy and ideas this year. (Note to self - try harder next year!) Don't mock the banana - at $12.99/kg this is a real treat. Unfortunately Daddy was too slow and Little Miss M took it and ate it. It might be Fat...

The Hummingbird Bakery Cake Days Cupcakes

I have seriously tried to limit the number of cookbooks in my bookshelf. Not only is the internet a major source of information (and free at that!), but we just don't have the space. However, there are a few cookbooks that I love having on hand, in person, ready to be flicked through at a moments notice. And this book - the Hummingbird Bakery Cake Days - is fast becoming one of those books. I love it even more so as it was a "just because" present from my Dear Husband :) The cover is textured and PINK. Not just a pastel pretty pink, but a bright-in-your-face PINK!! There's no mistaking the market for this cookbook. And the rest of the book follows in its bold use of colors. This cookbook, for me, provides inspiration by way of baking, photography, and food styling. Much progress on the first one, not so much on the last two.. oh well, so let's talk about the baking. So far, I've tried two basic recipes - the vanilla cupcakes with van...
