At the moment i really cant think of the rest these are his main words and phrases. Ill be doing an update soon on how hes going otherwise he really always comes out with something new and surprises me everyday.

10 random facts

1. I love having hot bubble baths on a cold winters night, but im not one to sit and soak for an hour or two i would only be in 10 minutes at the most otherwise i get to hot and dizzy.
2. I love frozen peas! I dont know what it is but i find myself going to the freezer on the odd occasion and grabbing some out to eat. Weirdo much?
3. I try to avoid the news as often as i can, i know its good to know whats going on in the world but most of the time it just depresses me.
4. I'm a big fan of old sitcom type shows like Bewitched,Happy Days,I Love Lucy and all of those type of shows from Nick at night they remind me of when i was younger and i would be up all hours of the night drinking flavoured tea cuddled up watching them.
5. I don't eat vegemite, I'm American im more of a peanut butter person.
6. I broke my arm when i was 10. I was watching Rikki Lake and she was doing a makeover show so i decided to give myself my own little makeover and practise my model walk on my little table.....i fell off....I broke it so bad i had to have my arm cast so it was bent for a month.... Suffice it to say i didnt walk on that table again.
7. I cant go cross eyed
8. Grease and Dirty Dancing are 2 of my all time Favourite movies, RIP Patrick Swayze :(
9. Im not much of a reader anymore but when i was younger i did read some trashy mills and boon yes i can admit it.
10. At the moment im addicted to Iced coffee ...need i say more?

4 ingredients

 I'm just curious if anyone else uses the 4 ingredients cook books? I personally have all 3 and i love them, i think its a great idea for anybody who is busy and doesn't have alot of time to spend on meals or if your on a tight budget. All of the recipes have 4 or less ingredients and at the back of the book they have some helpful household tips that i have found very handy. One recipe i LOVE is sweet and sour strawberries,you take your straberries dip them in sour cream then dip them in brown sugar. It may not sound the nicest but its worth a try i think its yummy. There are a couple other recipes i would love to post up to but i will have to grab my books down from the top of the fridge so ill post them later. They also do a gluten free book for all of those people with food allergies and such i personally love all 3 books they all have quick easy recipes that are tasty.
 The books were written by 2 mums who were having trouble coming up with dinner ideas the only measurments you will need for these recipes are 1 cup,1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon. A pretty simple but great idea, has anyone else used any of the 4 ingredients books? I would love to hear any opinions if you have, i will post some of the recipes soon.........to be continued

  So Beau went back to work from christmas holidays on Monday, it was a sad day back to normal life but for some reason i seem more on the ball then normal. Everyday this week i have gotten dinner ready early, had Kaiden bathed,done my wii fit exercise for the day and all while some what maintaining a tidy house.

I'm wondering whats got into me, im usually putting off things until the last minute,letting things slide by doing my normal procrastinating as im sure alot of people do. Its only been 2 days but i hope this energy keeps up. I'm feeling fabulous it just really shows how much a small break from normal daily activities can make you feel refreshed and ready to face the world. I plan on taking more time off as often as we can even if it is just to sit at home, do nothing and enjoy each others company. Why not? I think it makes me a better mummy and that is the most important thing.
