Breakfast & Pancakes

My pancakes were SO good last night that my hubby ate them standing up in the kitchen. Just in case you're wondering, the preferred topping this year was a chocolate spread and cornish vanilla ice cream combo. Hubby's face did drop a little when I failed to produce his traditional annual pancake topping of maple syrup, so it's a good thing this american pancake recipe faired well! On the topic of food, here are a few pics of a special breakfast date that my youngest boy and I went on last sunday ... whilst Daddy did his planning for work and the eldest boy was at a 'jedi training' themed birthday party, this young fella and I did a little reading, a little chatting and a whole lot of sipping hot chocolate and munching on our organic veggie breakfast. A lovely, lovely date!

Women and Pancakes

As today is Pancake Day the boys and I happily indulged in a little making and eating. I actually got a bit ratty during the cooking process when Elliott appeared in the kitchen dragging a chair with one hand and throwing his pants in the air with the other, all whilst I was assisting Zach in a pancake flip .... who was also stood on a chair directly next to the hot stove! If I sound a bit jittery it's because Elliott woke me up at 5am today and I DIDN'T get back to sleep!!!!! Their finger lickin' and smiley faces did bring me round though!

As today is also International Women's Day I thought I'd celebrate by showing a few pictures of a handful of the special women in my life. I'm doing all of this in a bit of a rush and so I haven't had time to necessarily source up-to-date photographs and I'm sure a few of my special women will grumble at the photos selected! But don't grumble ladies, you're here because I love you!

For those of you who are also my special women but for whom I could not source photos of on a whim, I did start to list your names. However, I then became overwhelmed by the politics of who should appear on the list, if there should be an order to the list (alphabetical) whether it should be listed by groups (family, mummy friends, work friends etc). Needless to say I began over thinking things somewhat .... so, no list.
