Vienna

This past week, I took three days off mother-duty and flew to Vienna with my best friend for a Pearl Jam concert. The first time we saw them live was at Rock Werchter in Brussels in 2012 and despite having an absolute blast with a mix of Lana Del Rey, The Gossip and most notably, Jack White, it dimly compared to the three-hour musical sensation we were lucky to experience this week. Just a few rows shy from the stage, we danced amongst a sea of 10,000 fans on the floor alone. My expectations were surpassed when they played my favourite song, which you can see on the YouTube link below.

In the kitchen- Flourless peanut butter chocolate chip mini blender muffins

This has to be the easiest muffin recipe ever. I mean, I am fully aware that muffins are easy to make but this is utterly ridiculous. All you do is stuff the ingredients in a blender, blend and scoop. And the best part is NO FLOUR and NO SUGAR! And yes, they are mouth-watering yummy.

Ingredients include peanut butter, one egg, one banana, baking soda, vanilla extract, honey and chocolate chips, which are optional.

an art corner

Displaying Georgie’s art has been on my list of things-to-do for an embarrassingly long time. I have a folder where I keep not only Georgie’s musings but also my godson’s and niece and nephew’s. But there’s always one favourite hanging on the side of the fridge or sitting clumsily on the blackboard in the pantry. So it was about time I got some wire, two nails and a few pegs and created a little art corner. READ MORE

The Parent Hood//02

I’m excited about this week’s The Parent Hood. There’s a good mix and an eye-opening read. Grab that cup of tea.

The only reason kids love the beach is because of SAND. I’m seriously considering doing this.

Always on the lookout for inspiring ideas for Georgie’s bedroom.

I have been keeping up with Jacqui’s blog since she lost her beautiful three year old son, Ryan. She is using the space to write her way through this tragedy. She is a remarkable woman.

water painting

Yay for painting, right? It keeps kids occupied for a ridiculous amount of time and there is unlimited creativity involved. It is something that Georgie and I do often. We love painting stones, sticks, cardboard boxes, wooden toys and anything else I can get my hands on. But then there are times when creating a beautiful mess is not what I have in mind and the last thing I need is a toddler running around with black paint on his hands. Enter Water Painting. It deserves to come in capitals because it is such an awesome no-brainer. All you need is a bowl of water, paint brushes and somewhere to set those little ones free. The only problem I had with this activity was trying to explain why the painting was disappearing. But trust me, if there’s water in the mix, you won’t get any complaints. READ MORE
