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 Father's Da

Show some empathy

I'm a real killjoy when it comes to the Royal Melbourne Show. It's just not my cup of tea. I'm thinking it's been a couple of decades (nothing makes you feel older than this word, eh?), yep DECADES I'm sure, since I've been to the show. It's expensive and there's nowhere to sit in the shade and it's expensive and it smells and it's pretty expensive (have I already said that?) especially when the only thing I want to do there is ride on the dodgem cars. So, I'm the last person you would want with you at the show. I am an RMS scrooge. Well, this year Little Miss M is heading off to the show with her dad and her grandma. "Would you like to go to the show this year, love?" asks Dear Husband as he is purchasing the tickets online. "No thanks" I reply without missing a beat. And then I start muttering to myself about how expensive it is, and how I really don't like the show, and how they probably
