"Finding much life and beauty among the ordinary things of our day"...

 10 photos over 10 hours - a snapshot of the beauty in my sometimes-ordinary-sometimes-hectic- sometimes-overwhelming-sometimes-good-sometimes-bad-but-always-filled-with-love life.  Thanks for dropping by!
Good Morning, mama!
Strong hands; precious cargo
Got to love me a well-organised, rubbish-free art box!
Good nap, lil' sis?  Wanna come out to play?
Let's get ready for lunch
Inspired to bake something yet, mama?
Sleep, my little one.  Rest well and get better soon.
A little Iced Coffee, sweetened with life's elixir - sweetened condensed milk - to get me through the rest of the day

New skills and new discoveries
An organized toy bucket - be still my anal obsessive heart
For a glimpse of beautiful lives across the world (thanks to digital cameras and that wonderful sharing community that is "bloggers"), please head on over to Rebekah's - A Bit of Sunshine

    @Miss G - thanks! I lucked out with that one.
    @Angel - thank you, Angel. I love looking back on these photos. It makes me appreciate my kids and days like this (sometimes I really need that sort of reminder).
    @mommy of Five - sweetened condensed milk - oh yeah! It's pretty popular in Malaysia (The Tahrek).
    @JulieBGreen - thanks!!! it was one of those good days. I have a feeling that taking the snapshots throughout the day helped to make it a fun day for me. Oh - and being able to stay in pi's the whole day probably helps!!!

    Thank you all for dropping by!!

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.

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
