It is a rainy day here today. A great day to be inside curled up reading a book. Typical school holiday type weather.

Things that make me happy...

Watching Kyle playing and happily entertaining himself.

My washing and ironing piles shrinking.

Books I’m reading...

Raising Blaze by Debra Ginsberg. It is a book about a mother and son's long, strange journey into autism.

What’s on my TV today...

Nothing as we no long have a tv.

On the menu for dinner...

Crumbed fish, mashed potatoes, corns on the cob and mixed vegetables.

On my TO DO list...

make a doctors appointment

make some cupcakes with Kyle

New recipe I tried or want to try soon...

These cheese and bacon hash browns sound rather tasty. Going to have to add these into the menu to make.

In my craft basket...

is a cardstock packet I just picked up on clearance waiting for me to turn it into some cards.

Looking forward to this week...

I don't actually have any plans for this week. Just taking each day as it comes with it being school holidays and not having to be on any school schedule.

Tips and tricks...

If you have teenagers that have a love of hair gel - if they should run out then get them to try using hair conditioner instead as once it dries it sets like gel.

My favourite blog post this week...

I am loving Jade's craft room. She has made great storage use of such an open space.

Blog Hopping (a new discovered blog you would like to share with the readers)...

A new blog I came across this week is Vegie Smugglers. Great ways to sneak vegetables into meals and snacks. These apple, pear and prune squares are on my TO MAKE list.
