First Mothers Day

What a perfect Day!

First of all, Laela gave me the best present by sleeping through the whole night! woop woop! Then she came and had cuddles with Mum before she gave me all my goodies!!

Starting with a note that she had imprinted with her feet! Now, when looking at the note, it looks like blood... but not to worry - it is tomato paste. Yes! Dad dipped Laela's feet in tomato paste and then stamped them on her note... so thoughtful! ha ha

I also got some flowers, some cookies, breakfast in bed and some other goodies :) Very spoilt!

White Choc Raspberry Cake

So for Mothers Day I decided to bake a cake for my Mother In Law (M.I.L). Laela wanted to help! So she got out the pot and wooden spoon that I needed to melt the chocolate in and started eating the spoon. But because of Laela's allergies that is as much as she could help with. This recipe pretty much involves everything she is allergic too!

And here is my creation people... I was so proud!

People tell me that it tasted pretty yum! But most importantly M.I.L enjoyed it! I have the recipe if you want it :)

Sausages Anyone?

So at 11pm last night I wanted a sausage in bread with tomato sauce and onions. So there I was cooking my almost midnight snack and of course Jeremy smelt my superb cookning (ha!) and wanted some too! Once all was cooked we jumped into bed and ate!

Mmm... sausage!

Autumn Photos - Part 1

So here are some of the photos that we took down at Long Bay Beach (the spot that Laela and I found last week on our little adventure)... I have labelled this 'Part 1' as we didn't get any family shots all together as we didn't have a photographer. 'Part 2' is in the pipeline. So Jeremy and I just took photos of each other with Laela. It was fun!

Dad teaching Laela about Autumn Leaves. They are Big, Crunchy and NOT edible :)

Mum and Laela playing in the leaves.

After we had some fun in leaves, we made our way down to the beach to determine if Laela was going to be a water baby like her Dad. The photos say it all....

ha ha ha. Maybe not a water baby? Although, I must admit... the water was pretty cold! ;)

After that I wrapped her up nice and warm put the dummy in and she was out like a light!! She must have been exhausted after all that playing!

Flexible!

I thought this was so funny. I was moisturizing Laela after her bath and I turned away for a moment to get her nappy and turned back around and found her chomping on her foot. It looked hilarious! I can't get over how flexible babies are!

This photo is when she realised I was laughing and taking photos of her. She is looking at me as if to say "What is all the fuss about!?"

Autumn Photos

I am a HUGE fan of the season Autumn. I absolutley love love LOVE all the different colours - the oranges, reds, yellows, the leaves that fall from the trees, the crisp fresh air, the idea of being able to buy some warmer clothes and pull out your old ones. Autumn for me is exciting!

I have always wanted to take some really nice family photos amoungst the beauty of Autumn, so Laela and I set out to find some nice spots. We ended up exploring our local beach / park and I think we found a nice little spot where these photos can be taken.

Here we are - all set to take photos of the 'potential' family photo spot! Mummy has got the camera and Laela has got her dummy!

Along the way we found some birds! I was a bit slow with the camera so only got a picture of 2 different types of birds. Laela loved it! She kept reaching out towards the birds as if she wanted to touch them. I am sure if she was walking she would want to chase after them and possibly throw things at them. ha ha

So I think below are the spots where we could take our family photos.... What do you think?

Laela and I were quite proud of our little outting and what we found! It was a fun Mummy and daughter adventure!

Oooo Laela is so cute!!

The Higgins Family blog lives!

My blog has been 'dead' for a few months and was lacking some coolness! So I thought I would give my blog a bit of a make over to get me excited and motivated to actual blog what our little family is up too! AND I am happy to say I AM BACK!
