Happy Mother's Day!!

I hope all the Mum's out there had a terrific Mother's Day! I had a lovely, quiet one at home with the kids, minus Michelle, and my Mum and Dad. I made a nice hot lunch and we played cards in the afternoon. I missed not seeing Michelle this year but, to be fair, Alex's Mum missed out last year spending Mother's Day with him so it's only right that we take turn. Michelle did call me in the morning so that was great!

Here is a pic of the new slippers Aaron bought for me. They are so comfortable and sure to keep my tootsies warm as toast in winter.

I leave you with a saying I like by Elizabeth Stone -

Making the decision to have a child is momentous.
It is to decide forever to have your heart go on
walking around outside your body.

Hommus and Hot sauce.....YUM!!!!

Since I last posted, I've been down for the count with the rotten flu. I was not a happy camper. My niece's 18th birthday party was on Saturday night also but I think the medicine I was taking helped me cope....or maybe it was the wine. lol Whichever the case, it was a fab night!!!

I did manage to get a little more done on the Lorikeet painting and will post that tomorrow so stay tuned.

Today, I popped out to Coles to buy some groceries and I found THIS!!!

PURELAND Organic HOMMUS

I've been a vegan for nearly three months now so I'm trying out all the non-dairy, non-animal foods that are available and it's been quite a treat so far. I have never tried Hommus before and I can tell you this taste sensation is going to be a staple in my fridge from now on. It is DELICIOUS!!! I have to force myself to stay away from it. I'm serious....it is THAT good!

While at Coles, I picked up more hot sauces. I ADORE food with a hot, chili heat to them.

I've tried the Nandos Extra Hot Peri-peri sauce before but I've never tried the Cholula hot sauce so I'm looking forward to it. I LOVE the cute, little bottles!

I'm still not feeling 100% so I'm taking things easy at the moment. I will try to get back on track with my posting though plus I have heaps of my fave blogs to catch up with too.

Blessings and hugs to all of you and I hope you are all fit and well.

Rainbow Lorikeet - Work In Progress - Stage Two

This one is progressing slowly as I haven't had much time in the studio this past week. There have been a lot of distractions in my personal life plus I think I'm coming down with a rotten cold. It's that time of year, I guess.
