He’s finally talking.

Sid has taken the loss of his daddima really hard.

He’s not much of a talker when it comes to what he is feeling but yesterday (Sunday 4th Feb) he took out the iPad and started to create a list for all of us to complete about mums qualities and funny moments.

Here’s what he writes

when I’d have a sleepover with her, I’d always go right to the corner [of the bed] as it was hot in the bedroom so I could get out of bed if I felt too hot but she’d always pull me back into the middle of the bed and would say that it’s to dangerous in case I fell.

That constant sense of caring that she always had was amazing. I thought nothing could compare with her sewa but this almost beats it!”

He’s healing slowly. But he’s healing.

It’s been a long time…

Man its been a long time. I mean a HELL of a long time since I stopped growing through all my facebook and insta notifications and moved over to creating something for myself…

Well… let’s take this slowly shall we …

My son is now 8! 8!!!!

When the hell did that happen!! How did I get an 8 year old????

Does anyone else feel that the cuteness of a young child goes so quickly and the hormonal raging know-it-all phase starts far too early?

Let me know in the comments!

So we made a delicious Autumn treat last week- and Sid seemed to love them.

Apples were grown in our garden and just picked so we though why not…

What you need…

1 and a quarter cup of crushed bran flakes

1 and a quarter cup of plain flour

1 and a quarter cup of apple juice

A third of a cup of dark brown sugar

A quarter cup of melted butter

A tbsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1tsp vanilla extract

2 apples cut, peeled and chopped into small pieces

How to make it …

Add all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and give the mixture a good old stir.

Pour out into a muffin tray and bake at 190c for about 30 minutes.

Cool and enjoy!!
