Praying for my poorly flu-ey Mum.

I LOVED my dinner last night!

I'm finding making tasty meals a bit of a burden at the moment. I look online at Blogs of meal planning - but they are all US bloggers, who use ingredients I don't know and also measure in cups and stuff which is not helpful to me.

Anyway last night i did make a tasty meal.. which I loved and the children loved. My husband didn't eat any because he is a Raw Vegan.

'A little bit spicy' Chicken Wraps.

Ingredients
1 largeish chicken breast - chopped up quite small.
A little bit of mexican spices
Plain Yoghurt
Grated Cheese
Rocket/Watercress/Spinach salad
Garlic and Herb Dressing
Wraps (warmed slightly)

Basically, I fried the chicken in the spices and then put it in a bowl on the table... with all the other things and we chose what we wanted in our wraps and MUNCHED! It was yummy yummy.

Tiny Talk Tuesday - the South Pole




Tiny Talk Tuesday helps parents focus on one of the many joys of parenting - the funny things that our little ones (and sometimes big ones) have to say.

My Tiny Talk Tuesday was really 2 conversations ... within 12 hours of each other.

Monday night after story time, my 4 year old Sam and I had a bit of a conversation about God. As often happens afterwards, Sam told me ..

S: Mummy, I love you.
Me: I love you too Sam.
S: I love you all the way to....
Me: Belgium? Where Auntie Judy lives? I love YOU that far.
S: What's further than that?
Me: Africa?
S: Africa... I love all the way to Africa!

This morning, Sam asked for a cuddle - and got one... I said to him..

Me: Sam, I love you all the way to Africa!
S: What's further than Africa?
Me: Um... the South Pole?
S: Where is the South pole?
Me: At the bottom of the earth where it is cold and the penguins live.
S: Can we go there? When we go there we will have to dress up REALLY warm... I would wear 2 t-shirts and my jumper and my coat!
