Stop and Stare ...

Would you stop and stare would you if saw a child on full melt down mood? With their back up against the wall tears streaming down the face. Pleading to perhaps have a piece of cheese from the supermarket cheese counter?

Having a colliwobbly because they couldn't carry the supermarket basket...

Going mental because their lunch time treat is 't there  for you to buy...

Are you one of those"well in my day they wouldn't have behaved like that...

 Shame on today's mothers/ parents" ...
They are perhaps the same sort that  chirp up on the bus  when someone gets on with a pushchair

" In my day I would have walked.. I walked ....."


Please stop to think ....

That child might have a condition an unseen impairment, disability call it what you will . But please don't tut and make comments.

These are the very things I experienced as a young mum it went beyonds toddler tantrums , the first few years of my toddlers life were stolen away from me because he couldn't talk till he was 3 1/2.


But you know what I  wouldn't have it any other way because he wouldn't be as confidant as he is today if it wasn't for bigoted people like that!

Cupcake heaven ...

Cooking cakes has never ever been my thing ever ! But when I used  stork easy to mix baking liquid I was pleaseantly surprised by the results.

Stork brings you 90 years of baking expertise in a handy bottle! Stork easy to mix baking liquid is a convenient way to achieve tried and trusted baking results. Being a liquid it's easy to measure – pour it straight from the bottle using a measuring jug or weighing scales. Quick to blend and perfect for all–in-one cakes, just add all the ingredients together in a bowl and mix, simple! It can be used straight from the fridge – there's no need for melting or softening. Perfect whether it's baking for a special occasion – birthday cakes, parties – or just an everyday treat. Stork liquid is great for cupcakes, muffins, brownies, teabreads, cookies and all types of cakes, large or small.

For saying I had never cooked cakes before in my life except when I was at school it was a brilliant starting point for me.

Stork liquid is easy to mix.

Princess Cupcakes.

Verdict

I would certianly use it again but not all the time as I gain in confidance I would use more traditional methods.

Learning train .. all aboard...

So what have you learnt this week ... ?


I have learnt that four year olds have their own agenda and the laws of the Cosmos need not apply.

"Can you eat some more please ?" I ask.

"I eat what I want to eat !" replies the child.

I have learnt that four year olds if they were in charge of countries problems then they would get sorted out quicker.

" Are We going in that classroom or NOT?" chirps one child
when  Reception are being told the plans of the day.


I have learnt that I DON"T like predictive text.

"Sorry my phone is having a ducky fit"


I have learnt that if you wait long enough things come back around.

Yep Dallas is back am I bothered .. no not really but I SO look forward to the endless tweets on twitter, if it floats your Stetson fine by me.
