I want to be here....

Nestled amongst those trees, laying on a blanket, nothing but the birds chirping and the blue sky above.

Oh how I wish I was there, maybe laying on that little canoe with a good book in my hand, just enjoying the peace and quiet.

It's been an absolute crazy week, I honestly don't know if I'm coming or going, which way is up or down. Between public holidays, weekends, sick husband and kids, births in the family and the usual up keeping of the house.....I'm pooped!

Even my cooking has sort of taken a back seat, there's no new recipes being tried out or hours stuck in the kitchen preparing a meal. It's all been throwing ingredients together or falling back on family favorites and comfort food....oh the comfort food, the sort that makes you close your eyes and sighed deeply and think "Thank you Lord".

As next week approaches I'll be back to posting frequently here and on the food blog, I have a couple recipes I want to try and will most definitely share them with you.

For now, I'm just going from hour to hour, counting down the minutes until my weary body can climb into the comfy bed and snuggle underneath those covers. Not even books have been touched this past week, my fingers itch for the pages but it will have to wait.

I hope your week is way calmer and slower than mine. I leave you with some more photos of my beautiful niece Anastacia. She's still in NICU but she's doing very well, no longer needing the feeding tubes, she's eating well and very alert. Thank you for the prayers, my brother and sister in law truly appreciate them.

My baby brother, proud daddy :)

Just look at that beautiful face, it's so hard being thousands of miles away when all I want is to be there and to hold her :)
