Momma n Dotter Moments

We decided to do some baking again. Arrow #3 has her way and I have mine. Inevitably we start off clashing a little. Then we settle down in our own way. 

Final product is pretty good and more importantly, we are reconciled and not enemies! 

The next morning, I pack them away nicely. The smaller boxes contain the smaller cupcakes. The bigger contain the medium ones.

Every single one is to be given away eventually. I think Arrow #3 and I have had an overdose of this recipe ourselves! Haha!

A Message for My Arrows

The Things Mommas Do

I found this new shoe shop which I really liked. They sold end of range stocks and arranged them according to size. This meant you would know immediately if the size of a particular style you wanted was available or not. The choices were limited, but still good.

As Arrow #3 has small feet and she finds it hard to find good shoes that fit, I decided that this was an excellent place to introduce her to.

And she loved it.

Only problem was, so do I.

And I came away with another extra pair of shoes.

You have to admit though - they do look good don't they? Haha!

Art of Aptness

I love my tea. Arrow #3 knows that well. So what does she do? She gets me the most apt gift. 

The cup is a Mother's Day gift. 

The brew is my favourite Earl Grey.

It's the coaster....

Don't you think it and the cup look good together? As if this was a set. 

She has this knack of seeing things and putting them together. Art of Aptness I call it....

Something About Music

I love music. Most music that is. I don't like the noisy type unless I can make out the words. 

I especially love live music. It was a joy when during one season we often had Arrow #1 on the piano, Arrow #2 on the guitar, foster son on the synthesizer doing percussion, Arrow #3 and I singing our heads off, and Hubby humming along. This weekly event was always something I really looked forward to. 

Over time, the house got quiet as one by one the older ones left.

Imagine my joy when I came home one day to find Arrow #3 on the piano.

All I can say is "MORE! MORE!" Haha!

Oh, and just in case you think she doesn't play much, she actually plays the bass guitar more, an instrument which is not exactly a solo one. So she doesn't get it out much at home....

Welcome Welcome

I was quite glad to be asked - could the youth worship team come by our place for a thanksgiving dinner cum looking ahead to 2013 time? SURE~ But ummm, make sure the place is cleaned up after? Thanks!

So it was. An evening of good food, good fellowship and good chats, followed by good clearing up after. Thank You Lord!

It Finally Happened!

It has finally happened! 

The youngest is actually behind the wheel! 

Oh my oh my! 

Hubby had taught me to drive. He gave Arrow #1 and Arrow #2 their first lessons. It seemed only right that he gave Arrow #3 her first lesson too. Wow. Time flies.

Thankful that the children are growing up well. Continue to pray for them almost daily. May we grow in wisdom, spiritual stature and fear of the Lord.
