That’s Topliss Tarts not Topless Tarts, by the way.
The ladies behind the counter were neither topless nor tarts, let me assure you!
Now carrot cakes is fine for breakfast when it’s this full of veggies and nuts, surely?

Oh, I am missing my little daughter!
Not so much that I am going to cancel the last two days of this wee trip.
But enough to really, really love looking at these favourite photos of her.

And the big question… if you do, does it matter?
During the Easter school holidays, I did put on 2kg and have edged them off since. That kind of quick weight gain is usually not too hard to lose as it’s generally caused by eating more sugary, carby foods than usual and thus having more water retention.
Over the long Christmas school holidays though, I didn’t put on weight even though I did eat more than usual, and drank my weight in wine almost daily. But all the activity with the kids must have seen that off.

Happy Mothers Day to all the Happy Mothers out there.
And now you Happy Mothers can stop reading as there’s nothing more here for you!
I’m writing now only for the mothers who aren’t feeling entirely happy today.
Hello friends.
Mothers Day can really get my goat… it’s always portrayed as Happy Mothers Day. Harumph.

Not a travel story – sorry.
Just a few thoughts on helping out mums in need for Mother’s Day and on why East Timor is a place that our family likes to donate money to.

Quick update on how the last two days of my 10,000 Steps A Day Challenge went.
10,000 Steps A Day Challenge – Wednesday
This was the twin’s 6th birthday and I had a zillion things to do. About a billion of these involved mini cupcakes and trying to get 48 of them to school with all their Maltesers still attached.
I used the very reliable Beetroot and Chocolate Cake recipe. And I didn’t even get to eat one of them – boo hoo.
At home I made a butterfly birthday cake, much licking of the bowl and lots of stomping around in the kitchen.

Have you cooked with quorn at all?
If you’re ever looking for a vegetarian meat alternative, quorn is your man.
Made in the UK, quorn is made from mycoprotein, the name given to an organism originally called ‘Fusarium graminearum.’ It’s in the fungus family, but now commercially produced and turned into quorn.
I like it for its relatively high protein as well as the taste and texture.

I’m feeling a bit guilty about Mother’s Day this year. You see, I’m very good at buying myself little gifts and have got myself a couple of new rings recently.
And now I hear from the twins that their Dad has taken them shopping… and the big boys have been shopping too. Unusual.
Now I’m not complaining about being lavished with gifts.
But I’d like to pass it forward.
