What am I doing now?

1. Enjoying the aftertaste of the tzatiki I made for dinner from leftover sour cream, which we had with BBQ chicken (skin on - it was oh so crispy! yum!)
   
2. Washing the dishes (not everything can be exciting)
   
3. Listening to the final chapter of Crazy Love audiobook, by Francis Chan (what I've been listening to when I wash the dishes or go to the gym)
4. Enjoying the solitude while Nathan and Daniel play outside.
   
5. Looking forward to catching up with my girlfriends tonight!
   

a new website I love

I found today the website called LoveFoodHateWaste, where you can click on the leftovers that are lurking in your fridge, and get ideas for what to make out of them! Now, let's see what I can make from my leftover sausages and rice.

New blog name?

I'm thinking of starting up a second blog, to review some great kids books that I know about. I'd hope to have pictures, possibly video too.

I'm lacking some creativeness in coming up with a name for the blog though. I'd love some suggestions!

Due Date

We have a due date (officially) - it's the 14th of March, which is my brother Tim's, cousin Lani's and my birthday. So it will not be forgotten!

It is also very close to my Uncle Paul's birthday (15th), and Nathan's mum Lyn's birthday (17th), and within 2 weeks of my dad's and Nathan's brother Ross' birthday. Not to mention numerous friends' birthdays. Busy month :)

(Oh, by the way, since I don't think I've posted it to the blog yet - I'm pregnant)

Homemade Berry Cobbler

Wild blackberries are in season, and in good supply near our house. On Friday before Lyn & Bruce left we picked 2 cups worth, and I added these to some blueberries and cranberries we had to make a berry cobbler. A gorgeous colour with that fruit, too :) We haven't tasted it yet - hoping to share with our Sunday night movie crew.

I took a photo on Daniel's birthday, and an old school friend offered to digitally edit the picture. Here's the end result! (This is a lower quality version so it loads quicker on the page)
