A Quiet Kind Of Week......

The week has been a quiet one. A nice half term week. I think we needed it. To get completely over all the little bugs floating about. To just spend time relaxing. Not feeling like we had to be somewhere, do something. I like those kind of weeks. No pressure. Just a chance to unwind and take it easy. To lounge, to bake, to lie in bed with all the Bears snuggled up too, just having a chat, having a giggle and a tickle. My kind of week for sure.

We had a hearty kind of week.....to celebrate Valentines. Not something we MAJORLY do in this house. But this year, I felt the urge to heart it out.

Heart sprinkle cakes were made. Simple little butter biscuits, teamed with vanilla buttercream and sprinkles. All sorts of sizes. Some to hang off the milk cups, some filled with marshmallow fluff for an extra treat. These were fun to make and went down well this week.

Confetti was sprinkled....

...and sugar hearts were made for coffees...

....tea was sipped...books were read.....ideas were formed....

Fun drinks were made and sipped....

And hearty treats were eaten...

....and used to top some fairy cakes...

.....more butter biscuits....

....a vert treaty kind of week going on here.....

In amongst all of this hearty adoration, I managed to squeeze in a little play time....

......hook up a little something for someone....

....carry on with my lovely....

Potter about the house.....

Indulge in a fair bit of this....

.....perfect on the chilly days.....and this too...

Suffice to say, the healthy eating has flown out of the window this week. Cold weather and being snug in the house has made me crave this every day. Although, I did use the milk that looks like coloured water for my porridge and my latte, and it is sweetner mixed with cinnamon, so that's not too bad, right?

And enjoying a new little present from my lovely Mother-in-Law....

I feel recharged again.

Roll on the new term......
