Whoosh! The sound of another frenetic week passing by.
Needless to say, I have nought to show for my efforts this week. Too busy working, catching up and doing mundane chores. This photo represents my life at the moment ~ I need to write everything down. So from the bottom, my ideas notebook, the red notebook is for our design business and on top is my diary. I carry all of these around, everywhere, along with the pencil case full of stabilo pens [mainly in an effort to feel arty].
Also, scraps of lists. Again, cause if I don’t write it down …
But on a more positive note, two things to share that I have “created” [disclaimer ~ there is a meat dish ahead]
First up, I made this no oven-baked lemon slice at the start of the week. It turned out great and the famiy love it [as evidenced by the fact there is not much left]. And it really wasn’t that hard. I’ve never made anything like it before so I was started with some trepidation but it was really quite simple. [And I got to use lemons from the backyard tree ~ makes me feel virtuous].
Second, I made meatloaf for dinner one night in an attempt to find something else to cook with mince. There is only so much bolognaise a mum can take. I made something simliar when the boys were little which was eaten with little fuss but I knew this time might be a bit different. It started off with the same broken record ~ yuck, i don’t like this, what is it ~ before they tucked in and ended up going back for THIRDS. That’s a keeper.
Pop on over to Kirsty’s and her lovely new space for some more bursts of creativity.

I will definitely be trying those lemon bars. I have a similar recipe with peanut butter and chocolate, but lemon great!

Thanks for the meat warning! Sounds like you need a list to keep track of where all your lists are. Hope you get to cross some stuff off today.

I am hearing the same ‘Whoosh’ sound over hear Kellie. I fear I will hear one big WHOOSH and I’ll be kissing my husband into 2010!
Writing things down is such a good idea and a great way to reduce stress. While sometimes the lists can be stressful, to forget something is worse.
Thanks for the recipe links. Yum and yum.

Mmm, haven’t had meatloaf in a while. Now I’m thinking about it for this week.
I have to write everything down too. This week, with all my busy-ness, I’ve been making lists upon lists, everywhere possible. Now I just have to manage to keep track of all the lists….

carrying something that promises a little creativity is priceless with weeks like these {and at least you are making lovely things with your camera} . . . am searching for new food ideas for the kids, am sure they’d love the lemon slice

The slices look lovely – I don’t think they’d last long in our house either! Great idea for the meatloaf – spag bol in our house does get somewhat tedious! x
