This Week

At the end of this long and testing week, I am grateful that I can reflect and look back not with disdain, but with satisfaction and a smile still pursed on my lips.
Able to accept that it is all part and parcel of parenthood to have weeks that test you, pushing your limits as a mother and partner.
It is not possible to give our all, all of the time, no matter how we might try.
We can use weeks like these to our advantage. Learning and taking from it, what you will.
We can also use them as an excuse to make and eat lots of delicious treats. As did I.

Sweet potato and beetroot brownies 

 (I know, I still haven't posted the recipe -soon alright!)

 Walnut chocolate made from cacao butter and honey. SO good.

 Evan burnt his hand on the radiator. He is fine. Mama isn't.

A few photos for my mom who brought E these lovely red trousers!

 Not even a burn on his hand could keep this boy down.
