Not so dirty, really.

Now, I don't know if I'm admitting to the greatest social no-no, but if I am I hope you can get past the contents of this post and still be my friend. It's always a bit risky exposing bits of your personal life, but hey - what's life without risk?

Anyways, onto my potential social no-no.

I don't know about you, but I tend to wear my jeans (and jumpers) a couple of times before throwing them in the wash.

Call me lazy (for not putting it in the wash straight away), call me green (for saving water by not needlessly washing still relatively clean jeans) or call me gross, but I just don't see the point in washing jeans that have barely a speck on them. I mean, it's not like I run around the playground and sit in sandpits and make mudpies. I'm an adult who sits in chairs and uses napkins and drinks my tea with my little pinky sticking up.

So, what do I do with the jeans that I have worn once that are not really ready to go in the wash?

Funnily enough, while I don't mind wearing jeans a couple of times before washing them, I do have a bit of a problem with putting them back in the cupboard. Ok - so I have more than a bit of a problem. Even while doing a thorough clean up I just can't bring myself to put them back in the cupboard. I'd rather throw the jeans in the corner, or just put them in the wash. At this point in my life (with a newborn who dishes out the best poo-plosions and a toddler who decides if she would like to be a potty-trained toddler or not for the day), I just don't have the energy for the extra loads of wash. So the jeans stay in a pile in the corner (or under the bed if visitors are coming around).

There has to be a better way.

And, I think this is it.

One side of my daughter's cot. (Eh - I'm sure she doesn't really need it anymore. She's tough enough that the fall won't hurt her.)

What do you think? I got the idea from here (via Pinterest - I have to justify the time I spend on that website!!!)

Are you totally grossed out by this post or are you nodding your head in sympathetic agreement and wondering if you should buy a cot just to use that one side? Actually, a ladder would be a really good way to go as well, but we already had the cot.

Happy Monday everyone! I'm off to enjoy my morning cuppa/mugga.

It's a skill and I need more sleep

Do you tell jokes? I don't. Hardly ever anyway. One - I don't know many jokes. Two - I can't tell jokes. I stutter the punch lines which ruins it. Or I'm laughing before I finish telling which, again, ruins it. And three - I have a really BAD sense of humour. Only my husband gets it. He gets my humour and reacts. It's why I married him. And yes, please note the purposeful use of "reacts" rather than "laugh" because ... yeah ... no ... he doesn't always laugh. And the times when he does laugh he's usually not laughing at the joke; he's usually laughing at me. But that's ok because that was the point of the joke - to make him laugh. Which he does. Why he's laughing ... well, that's secondary, isn't it? And what about pithy witty comments? I'm full of them. Clever, imaginative one-liners. But, again, it's all in the...

To ice or not to ice?

That is the question... I have a new addiction (surprise, surprise!). While I still favour Morning Tea and Afternoon Tea and all of its delights, I have recently been replacing the mandatory "tea and cake" with an Iced Tea or an Iced Coffee. These tea delights are so wonderfully refreshing on those hot summer days. And it satisfies my "drink and sweet" craving in one shot - which saves me on baking time and calorie count (like I do that anyway!). Seriously, I could drink Iced Tea or Iced Coffee all day, but I have limited it to either Morning Tea or Afternoon Tea. Got to keep it special! (Hence the continued use of CAPITALS :) ). The best thing is that these drinks are so easy to make at home and, to my taste buds and stomach anyway, are a lot better than most of the ones that you can find in your local cafe. I can control the strength, the milkiness, the sweetness to suit my picky palate. The other best thing is that I no longer feel the ...

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...
