A Lovely Day

Hello everyone,
Just popping in to share my Mothering Sunday treats from my lovely kiddos :0)
I always get treated to a cup of tea in bed on Mothers Day and this morning it came with a tray of cup cakes made by Hannah
She was a bit disappointed that the flower petals had dropped due to the moisture in the icing..... but hey ho they are certainly yummy :0)
James had made me a card at school which involved cutting , sticking and writing..... all tasks that he find particularly difficult because of his fine motor skill issues


The little stone owl was a present from him too which Hannah helped him choose, it's just so cute and similar to one we liked in a holiday cottage we stayed in a couple of years ago :0)
Do you see James's writing, he's made so much progress with his handwriting recently, he luckily does a lot of his work on the computer at school which helps him no end but its good for him to keep practising his writing skills :0)

Hannah made me a brilliant card ..... I think I may have to CASE it *wink*


and finally, here's the group shot with the lovely pink Hyacinth I had too.....aren't I a lucky Mum :0)
I must add the cupcakes are missing from the picture, NOT because I ate them all, they were in a tin at that point and there are 5 left as I write this...soon to be 4 *wink*

I hope all the lovely Mums out there had a wonderful day and were sufficiently treated and pampered.

  11. The cupcakes look fabulous, and I think I know where Hannah gets her cardmaking skills from - brilliant! James' card is gorgeous - I love the pink, and the flowers - but best of all the inside :) I know when I get a handwritten note it means all the more to me as well! Happy Mothering Sunday to you, Jenny!

  17. Aww, what lovely thoughtful cards and gifts - you must be chuffed to bits!

    Thanks for the comment on my video. I bought the sponge like that. It comes with the solution already in the sponge but you need to top it up once in a while.
