Little Prayer please!

It's time to refill the cookie jar.........
It's that time of the week again, time to pull out the flour, sugar and eggs and make another batch of cookies for the cookie jar. This weekend I used an old portuguese recipe for Biscoitos (cookies), they are good on their own but I prefer to turn them into little sandwiches using strawberry ja…

Weird and Wonderful Travels!
I love traveling and exploring new areas, whether they are beautiful or frightening, just around the corner or across the globe. But let's face it, unless you're a millionaire there's no way you have enough cash to go everywhere you want to, so I travel from home, it doesn't stop …

How well do your children know you?
I've always been under the impression that my kids had a general idea of what I enjoyed but didn't really pay much attention. Not because they didn't care, but because they're kids, they're busy playing and enjoying their childhood, too busy to notice certain things. I was wrong…

A day spent in bed....
It's early here and I've just managed to pull myself out of bed. This cold has completely taken me by surprise, not to say that I don't get my share of summer colds or winter or pretty much anytime during the year actually, but this is one that really really got to me.
Yesterday I spe…
