Till Tuesday








A special Tuesday- David and I are 8 years married today! We are having a wee night away coming up soon so for today we just had a nice family meal and the kiddos and I had our usual Tuesday.

My retro pudding quest is taking on a bit of an obsession now. Today I attempted my Mum's family favourite- pineapple upside down cake. I dropped the Glace cherries- just can't take them seriously and well they taste pretty yuck! {a pic at your request Zoe!}

Nursery, play group in the morning and trip to the park and the shops in the afternoon.

1. The wee ones favourite snuggle blankie.
2. New picture arrangement- some of mama's old pics, some new thrifted ones.
3. Quilt washing and drying in between hailstone showers!
4. Wee ones fav books of the moment.
5. Postcards from Kerry- Seventy Tree, Lou- Little Green Shed and Fine Little Day.
7. Cooking!
8. Mmmm nice wee teak candle holder- thrifted for pennies today.
9. Ta Da! Pineapple upside down cake!

    Happy Anniversary. A trip away, how lovely. I would have included the cherries in the cake as I am weird and absolutely love them. I could eat them straight out of the pot.
