Updates and muffin tins!

Oh I've been so bad at updating this blog. I've been back at work 3 days week for a couple of months and I'm still struggling with there not being enough hours in the day.

So we've missed a lot of MTMs mainly because I've been working. So, this morning I did a little muffin tin breakfast for Ruby. She had jam on toast, blueberries, dry blueberry wheats, satsuma pieces and a big strawberry!



I've been listening to Revive our Hearts podcasts. Today's program was really good and spoke to my heart.

Muffin Tin Monday (breakfast)

So there was no theme for this weeks MTM, so we decided to do our first breakfast tin. Ruby had banana, cereal, apple, a cup of milk, toast and jam to spread on the toast! She loved it.

Muffin Tin Monday (Ahem Wednesday)

So I was working Mon and Tues so we've only gotten around to doing MTM today, and for dinner.
We didn't do the Mexican theme, but if it has to have a theme mine would be Quick and Easy! Mainly because most of it came from the freezer.

Ruby had rustic oven chips, ketchup to dip, 2 chicken fingers, peas and sweetcorn, a smiley face biscuit and some cherry tomatoes!
She's eating at the moment and the chicken fingers are popular, she hasn't had those before.

8 months today!

My baby boy is growing too fast. He turned 8 months old today, but in some ways it feels like only yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital.
After his sister's traumatic birth, his birth was so positive and healing. He has been a ray of sunshine in my life every day for the past 8 months. I just wish he would slow down a little, I'm not ready for him to grow up.

Muffin Tin Monday

Well we did MTM today for a snack. However it turns out MTM's Michelle's son broke his elbow yesterday so she has postponed MTM til tomorrow.
I'm going to post mine today though.

Ruby had a yellow gummy worm, a foam ice cream sweet, and a chocolate Easter bunny, Teddy bear crispies, apple, blueberries, cheese cubes and grapes. She really liked it and ate almost all of it. :)

Peace

Well peace is reigning here briefly! Jon is bathing the babies and I'm just enjoying the sound of silence, well not quite silence, the tumble drier is going but that's about it.
I'm really enjoying Spring, the sunshine is wonderful, hanging laundry out in the garden is wonderful, having time off work and getting jobs done around the house is wonderful! Just being together as a family and not being in a rush to go anywhere or do anything is wonderful.
