Last week…

 
was so jam packed that this week I just want it to be as boring as possible.  
I know it’s not going to happen, but I can wish can’t I
last week was the last week of term and Easter happenings were all around

 

 

I baked some Easter gingerbread for the kids at school

I made an Easter bonnet for Amelie using a flower tutorial from here (I originally saw it on someone else’s blog but I cannot remember where, if it was yours please let me know)

I had an order for a 60th birthday cake which I absolutely loved making

 
gingerbread numbers and a chocolate layer cake

 

so this week, I intend on using the yummy homemade soap I received in the mail, thank you for the surprise sweet lady ♥
 
this week I am going to bake some naan bread from my new cookbook from the loveliest of friends (you are awesome) which I am absolutely loving
and this week we are going to enjoy the first week of school holidays and I will be smiling as I am SO proud that my girl got through her first term of prep, exhausted but filled with inspiration and willingness to keep on learning (love you baby girl ♥)
What are you up to this week friends?
 
Whatever it is, I hope it’s filled with lots of giggles, hugs and love ♥

and if you want to laugh, pop by here as well

    I'm pretty proud of my boy getting through the first term without a hiccup as well. (Yesterday he explained to me why calcium is good for you!)
    I'm hoping for a boring week as well. Gorgeous photos Cathie.

    That bonnet is amazing! I remember when we had to do easter bonnets at school and we had a parents parade. My dad went in it and my sister and I decorated his motorbike helmet. It was hilarious! That cake looks stunning as well. Sounds like you have had a lovely albeit busy week.

  • How good does that bonnet look? I love it Cathie!

    AND i love the look of that book – isn't that J a sweetie? (we've just received a little package from her too!)XX Have a lovely break with your gorgeous two.XX

  • sounds wonderful cathie..

    i am having a mix of relaxing *or trying to* and fun outings with the kids… just booked a city weekend away at The Royce, for something different and spontaneous!!

    such lovely photos of your beautiful girl and your cooking creations are as brilliant as always!

  • So pretty your photos – love the sunflower one – and your cake is absolutely awesome! I'd like a boring week too! Just a lot of free time to ease around and see where the wind will take me! Have a fun time!

  • I so hope you are falling asleep with the sheer boredom of it all. Last week looked like a DOOZY (albeit punctuated with LOADS of lovely) but I couldn't think of anything better than a week of pottering and tea.

  • hi cathie, thank you for the links. i love that flower tute!! your cakes are so classy….my boy just finished his end of semester 2 prep. i think we are now going to homeschool. have a lovely relaxing week!! xo

  • I LOVE this post. The hat the black outfit, the cake….geeeeezzzz louise you are one talented lady!! xxx

  • Wow, that really is one amazing week! Beautiful photos and such a gorgeous Easter bonnet! When I was little, the bonnet parade was my favourite part of Easter, even more so than the chocolate – and that's saying something!

  • That bonnet is amazing! And the bunny cookies….and the cake…..and the photos…..Oh it's all good! Hooray to Amelie too. Here's to an even better next term. But have a rest and enjoy your holidays first!! x

  • Such sweet images…and in more ways than one! All I can say is that you must be the favourite mom at school. I love your gingerbread bunny cookies! It's so cool seeing your autumn leaves as we have blossoms popping out.
