Pancake Sunday is a time-honoured tradition in our little family.

We eat pancakes and we drink tea. Out of a pot.

People laughed at my hubbie and I when we told them that our beloved tradition of Pancake Sunday would not falter once we had babies.

But they didn't understand our love for this precious time together. Sure, what used to be about flicking through the papers leisurely has become a bit less...peaceful. Sometimes our pancakes get cold from juggling our two cherubs under two. But the sentiment is still there...

When we moved back to Australia from Atlanta Georgia over 8 years ago now...It was incredibly hard. We had to leave our US based family and friends as well as all of our 'things.' I felt particularly guilty, being the Aussie who had lured away a young Southern gentleman back to her home country...So, needless to say, it was SO nice to see Lola May meet her Grandparents.

Nothing cuts me to the core more than seeing my babies sick. Knowing they they are not coping only leads to one thing...me not coping.

My little cherub Lola May can put really put it away! As you can see she is well nourished...I think her cheeks alone weigh the minimum weight recommended for her age!

So I wanted to share with you Miss Lola May's absolute favourite fruit blend of the mo...Apple, Pear and Blueberry Puree. Nothing fancy or unusual about it, but for some reason if I feed her this little concoction she squeals with delight!!!!!

I’ve been a bit down in the dumps lately...maybe it’s the weather? Or maybe it’s the theft...yep, recently some low down dirty theives made off with a large amount of our gorgeous Smitten products...pretty paralyzing for a teeny weeny business like us...

But I am making a promise to myself and my readership of 6, right here right now that those buggers will not get the best of me! Sometimes, in the words of Nene from The Real Housewives on Atlanta... you just need to find a way to 'get your happy back.'
