A recipe for you!

Today was an odd day. Normally I shine no matter what the weather but today, it was definitely 'sunny with cloudy periods'.

I felt BLAH, couldn't focus and thought I didn't achieve much at all...

Many of you were feeling the same way as we chatted about overwhelming feelings etc

It is important you are able to recognise when the clouds come and know what course of action to take to sweep them away.

We all have cloudy periods and I like having them, clouds are beautiful and help me to appreciate the sunshine even more!

So, rather than sit and continue to feel blah, I grooved around the house to my fave songs and then baked, YEP..its what I do, I bake!

My friends don't say "My best friend's Betty" for nothing you know ;)

So here is what I made this afternoon for my kiddies


Brekkie Bikkies with a Banana Cinnamon Milkshake!

This got 2 thumbs up and seeing as I made the recipe up as I went along...I was pretty pleased with that!
