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.

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

Choices choices....

Should I eat the orange or should I make an orange cake? ORANGE CAKE, of course!!! Now, should I make Orange Poppy Seed Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, or Orange Cake with Orange Icing? Hmmm - a quick look in the fridge (oops - no cream cheese) and a nostalgic feeling for those supersweet iced cakes from the supermarket and the Orange Cake with Orange Icing won the day. Next decision - should I have a slice now warm out of the oven, or should I let it cool, ice it and then have a slice? BOTH!!! The recipe can be found here . I added a couple of drops of Orange Oil in the frosting as my orange was not orange-y enough. Citrusy, moist, and extra yummy with some Girly Grey Tea (from T2). Perfect morning tea. Now what to do for afternoon tea... If you want to make the Orange Poppy Seed cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, then just add 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds to the cake recipe above. And to make the cream cheese frosting, you can use this... (I
