With the Christmas season pretty much (nearly) upon us it's meant the children have been involved in all sorts of activities - including partying......a lot!
Honestly, they have a better social life then me (not that it was full in the first place) these days and the need to be constantly on the go, chaperoned to events and ferried around from one function or another is starting to take its toll on this poor old mama.
I'm full of cold - again - and I'm feeling very sorry for myself.
And if another person says to me 'well best get it out of the way before Christmas' I think I will go 'aaarrrrggghhhhhh!'..........very loudly! Best not get ill in the first place would be the better thing to do.
But hey ho, tis that time of year again and having little ones means getting ill goes hand in hand I'm afraid. Still doesn't do much for my grumps though.
Anyhoo. I think maybe I should just slope off quietly now and leave you with the pictures of some tasty little cakes I helped make with our smallest at the weekend for one of her 'occasions'
Chocolate and Peppermint (kind of) cupcakes.
She's turning into a right little baker and can always be found perched on a chair beside me in the kitchen when I'm cooking either asking 'what you doing and can I help?' or having a jolly good stir of a mixture (for good luck) adding her own little personal touch.
Have a fabulous day and sorry for the grumbles - anyone would think I have man flu or something!

I hope you feel better soon Nina! It gets better as the little ones get older, they don’t bring so many bugs home with them. Cute cakes......

I feel your pain. I have had 3 colds since I went back to work at the end of September. No fun. Hope you feel better very soon so that you can enjoy the Holidays.
I do hope you feel better soon. It's such an exhausting time for mothers in so many ways, and catching a cold just makes it all harder...sending you lots of get well wishes. And those red and green cakes are amazing, I love them!! (They would go with my new quilt...I must make some!)
Take care, Nina.

Had two of mine off yesterday, and the other two off today!! and everytime I have a tickle in my throat I think noooooo!! So staving off the bugs with big glasses of superfruit smoothies and early nights, so far so good which feels like fatal last words!
Do hope you are ovet this lurgy very soon. Bxx
Lol love the man flu! I hope you get well soon. Its hard work when you are a mum and have such a list of things to do, no time for illness ever! I sympathise as I am just coming out of the ill tunnel myself.
Love those cupcakes the colours are just lovely and very festive looking to.

Loving the Christmassey buns! Fab! Hope everyone is feeling better soon! Cx
Such pretty little cakes. I do hope that you are able to have some time to relax, Christmas shouldn't be so stressful. The things that children have to do for school these days is ridiculous, I don't envy you one bit.
Aw Nina, hope you get well soon :)
Those cakes look lovely, i might have to steal that idea as I loooove chocolate and mint combos!
Hope you have a lovely weekend and feel better.

When i have finished digging my hobbit house i will let you know and you can hide in there. I know what you mean re comments about Chrimbo, gggrrr why does it matter if you are ill then, like you say it would be nice not to be ill at all :-( HOpe you get better soon x
Oh do get better soon, you poor thing. Those cakes look good.
Why is it that colds is the one thing kids share without been asked.
Get well soon.
Great to have additional bakers in the house.Those cakes look sooo tasty.

oh dear Soldier not solder, early night for me I think!
oh the look so good
Hope you are feeling much better Nina.
Hot lemon and ginger, and plenty of cake! Always does the trick for me ;D
Hope you're all well real soon x
Poor you - I think this particular bug comes with a side order of extreme grumpiness. Or perhaps it's just that being ill at the busiest time of year is enough to drive anyone insane. Either way, I feel (and share) your pain. Get well soon!
