Mascapone Custard....yes please!

Today I was busy busy busy, I had the car and decided to make the most of it. I had a slight spanner in the works when I volunteered to look after a "challenging" but delightful 3 year old, Gabe.

I had decided that the hubby needed to have a Tiramisu cake for when he comes home tomorrow, you see September is a crazy month for birthdays for the Smiths. Liam is the 5th, Bax's the 8th and mine is 19th. Well with all the hubbub of celebrating Liam's, Bax's got lost :(

It turned out into a world hunt for mascapone cheese and lady fingers, I think everyone was having the crazy thoughts of Tiramisu like me. Gabe had gotten quite bored by now visiting stores and was getting rather touchy feely with things. I did quite well with diverging him with a few rounds of "who let the dogs out" to which he would reply "wuf wuf wuf" but the final line up he decided that taking a bite out of a roll of hubba bubba on the shelf would be much more fun much to the disgust of the other shoppers. We added the hubba bubba to the cart and snuck away as fast as we could.

The Tiramisu got made, Gabe went home for a nap, we had McDonald's for supper and all ended up well. YAY.

I used this recipe for Tiramisu and it ended up looking this this. Just look at all that creamy goodness, yum yum I don't know if I can wait until tomorrow!
OK so here are my latest favourite cuties I discovered on Etsy. Again with the pearls. These beauties are from Asymmetry


I just love everything in scatterboxoriginals store but if i had too choose it would be this adorable tote.



Do you think she might send me one for adding her to my blog? hahahaha, wouldn't that be nice.

Hear Mommy Roar!

Well apparently today I must have been having a pretty poop day. For some unknown reason I was miserable and shouted quite a bit.

Seeing as there is no one about all day except for the puppy Pancake who got the worst of it today. I must have sounded like a mad woman to all the neighbours. My poor son Liam came home from school to be instantly roared at for now leaving 2 coats and a lunch box at school. No wonder he ran and hid upstairs. Bad mommy.

I did however manage in my deranged state to get an awful lot of stuff done which included reserving a few things to buy on etsy for upcoming birthdays. I also managed to get a few listings up on etsy also. That always makes me feel better.

This beautiful jewelery set I decided would be great for my Mom, the great thing is that if she doesn't like it I'll keep in for myself. I just love pearls. It was created by Summerthyme on etsy, wonderful to work with also.

I hope my 25 year old brother will enjoy what I have in store for his birthday. I think its pretty cool and I plan on putting Mr Roboto on a slim fitting red T-shirt. Thank you jodieflowers for having such a cute shop.

Oh and of course I had to buy a little something for myself.Thanks perfectheart I told you I liked pearls.


OK a quick show of what I made today and then off to give my dirty little terror a shower.

Here is Bill. He can be a little grumpy in the mornings, but a little orange juice and some peanut butter on toast makes him a great joy to be around. I don't think he's grumpy, he looks kinda cute in an ugly sorta way.

Little Clementine is just adorable with her bold stripes and pale pink bow.

Clemmy likes to climb trees, but sometimes needs help getting down but often thinks she can do it herself.
oooh my nerves, get down Clemmy



That's it I'm done today, i hope tomorrow is better, well it has to be its Friday, wooohooo and a big THANK YOU to the 1 comment I got for my first blog, totally unexpected and exciting.
