Mother’s Day is only a week and a bit away and I thought I’d list down the Mother’s Day freebies and discounts I’ve seen around the web.

Our blog is not all about Recipes and Earthquakes
If you have been visiting our blog for the last 6 months or so, you’d notice an avalanche of blog posts about recipes and the Christchurch earthquakes.
Our life is not just about my baking experiments and disaster nor are they about the earthquakes that hit Christchurch HARD. TWICE. In the last 6 months.
Ramblings about the 2 earthquakes and their aftermath are quite obvious given what’s happened recently.
But what about all these recipes? Is our family blog morphing into a baking and cooking blog?
No, it’s not. It’s just that in these challenging times, I have found solace and comfort in my baking. When I’m baking, it’s all about measurements and ensuring my cakes don’t sink in the middle! It’s the only time I DON’T THINK about the earthquakes and its impact on our lives.
I contemplated creating a new blog just to ‘house’ all my baking and cooking experiments but I decided against it. Why? Well, I could hardly give this blog the attention that it deserves, why create another one?
All this sharing of baking and cooking stuff will continue on this blog I reckon. But hopefully, they won’t be the main content and if it does, well, maybe that’s how our family blog is meant to morph into.
Attending the Christchurch Earthquake Memorial Service
We attended the memorial service in Hagley Park on Friday afternoon, joining up with my sister, her children and some of her friends. It was a beautiful day with hot sun and the service was very moving and very well done.
I have never known such a huge crowd to be so orderly and so quiet.
Sad Dog. Smart Dog.
What I Don’t Like About HELLOs
The hardest part about saying hello? It’s the inevitable goodbye that follows.
2 weeks ago, we welcomed my brother and his family to NZ full of love, warmth and expectations.
We looked forward to the fun and camaraderie that awaited us all.
We only had 2 glorious weeks with my brother and his family. Two short weeks to make up for lost time – for 3 years of not seeing each other.
Good thing we have 16gb worth of photos and videos to help reminisce the fun we all had.
I may not like goodbyes but I know there’s another hello in the horizon to plan and look forward to.
