It's the perfect housewife in me!!!

The one absolute luxury I have in my life right now is a cleaner!! OMG!! I am so lucky!

Now Chris and I will have to find something else to debate about at the weekends!!!!

In an effort to get the most out of the money We are paying out and to allow the cleaners to clean rather than tidy, I have created a system!!!




These are crap baskets!!! I just chuck everyone's crap in their basket and they take it up with them!!!

Lets see if it works!!!!

The very hungry caterpillar


It always takes ages to come round but goes in flash once it is here!

This year for Georgia's 4th birthday party, we did the very hungry caterpillar theme! I have been planning it for months!!

I managed to find some hungry caterpillar fabric so made her a dress!!




She looked so sweet!!

I also made decorations for the room!







And claire came and did aagicsl movers party all based on hungry caterpillar!!

The cake pops that I showed you in my last blog post were transformed into the cake!!




It was great fun! All the food was everything in the book and the sandwiches were made in circles and looked like caterpillars!!

The party was lovely, however I couldn't have done the party like this without the help of my family, especially my mother and father in-law!!! They are amazing, talk about having back up! They have mine covered! For years they have been there at my children's parties, helping to blow up balloons, move furniture, helping with the food, clearing up!!!!!! Maybe next year I will give them a rest !!!!!!

I had a small tinge of sadness yesterday morning on Georgia's actual birthday as i packed her off to nursery, this is the beginning of my babies leaving the baby stuff behind and heading into proper childhood!! This time next year she will be at school and i wont get to spend the day with her!!

Nursery did some baking with her



And gave her a card a present and then she and i spent most of the day together playing with her new presents!! She particularly likes her new make up!!



We gave her a new very pink bike this year with stabilisers and a dolly carrier on the back!! (that's what sold it to Georgia!!!)

Cake pops!

I have been playing around recently with these and today I have made some out of Oreo biscuits!!




I smashed up the oreos into tiny pieces



Added some buttercream




And mixed it all together!!




Made balls about the size of ping pong balls and put in the freezer for 15 mins




I then melted some candy melts




Dipped the lolly sticks in and stuck into the balls!



I then dipped the balls making sure i had covered them all




These are as far as i am taking them today! They are to go on georgia's 4th birthday cake!

Can you guess what it is going to be????
