Bundle Tales #1
My fast asleep babe, laid out across my lap, when the first notes of a tune kick in and he gives a whole-hearted clap along with the music.
Bopping along with the background music on TV.
When he hasn't access to both hands for clapping e.g. during a feed, he'll clap his head in time with music.
Laying his sweet little body on me in sickness or tiredness or just laying his head against me, my tummy, arm, shoulder, leg.
Smiling in his sleep.
The day he fell asleep in the bumbo.
The evening he fell asleep in the high chair and the second one when he almost did - bless.
Getting so excited he literally bounces in his high chair.
His stream of conscienceness of mamamamadadadadad after his febrile convulsion.
Laying back against me in the hospital bed after the above fit and just nodding off.
Sleeping so soundly I have to lean in to make sure he's breathing.
Snorely so loudly I have to move his positioning so he'll stop snoring so I can get some sleep too!
Getting so excited when he hears/sees his Daddy's return from a day of work.
The huge waves he gives the dogs (currently Lucy and Betty) whilst people get only small ones :)
Dancing and clapping and the instant smile when he hears his favourite song (Maccabeats - Candlelight).
Dancing and practising his clapping and dancing, while standing unsupported (15 months).
His excitement as he chatters and squeals and makes his funny wee chokey sound, or chuckles so hard that he sounds like he's choking.
Starting to give and fully receive kisses (15 months).
His pure joy as you throw something (including him) up into the air and catch it (him).
Tapping his foot in perfect time to the music (17 1/2 months).
Holding the phone (or any phone-like object e.g. remote) at the back of his head instead of his ear (too cute at 15/16 months) and finally getting it and holding them to his ear and having baby-talk convos (17 months).
Pushing the laundry basket to the door for Mummy (15 months)
Carrying (the far too often used) disposable nappy bags to the door for Daddy.
Having a dustpan and brush as his favourite toy (from 16 1/2 months).
Bopping along with the background music on TV.
When he hasn't access to both hands for clapping e.g. during a feed, he'll clap his head in time with music.

Pinisher Link-up - Week 2 - Home
Time for another edition of pinishing.
Thie week's theme is Home. Oh the options, oh the pins!
Link to the original project: tissue box as plastic bag dispenser.
Link to my pin: here.
Follow me on Pinterest: here.
I wanted to pincomplish something, so I set the bar low, waaayyyy low this week.
An old tissue box refilled with plastic bags, retaped shut and stashed under the sink. Ta-da!
Of course that wasn't much of a project, but I wasn't sure I'd have time for much else, but of course pinishing that gave me the motivation to do more...
Pincomplishment #2
Link to the original project: bed linen sets gathered together in pillowcases.
Although I highly suspect that Martha Stewart was not the original authoress, her company certainly is the source of the picture I pinned.
Link to my pin: here.
I'd seen the idea of gathering up each set of bedlinen in a pillowcase floating around for a while and hadn't bothered to pin it, after all my neatly tied up bed-sets, in co-ordinating ribbon no less, looked much cuter...only I'd gotten out of the habit of re-bundling them and so I conceded the whole pillowcase thing was a good idea. I now have the linens all less beautifully organised, but organised nonetheless.
Pincomplishment #3
Link to the original project: velcro-dotted lollipop sticks.
Link to my pin: here.
Link to my pin of my completed pincomplishment: here.
Not quite a "home" project so much as a "homeschool" project but I'd bought the velcro dots recently (thank you eBay) and picked up the "multi-coloured craft sticks" aka lollipop sticks whilst at a fabulous craft store in Australia. T'other day I took ten minutes during Daddy-duty to attack a bit of the craft cupboard, locating said dots and lolly sticks and uniting the two. Dorian you're defin-tootly having a good affect on me as I didn't stop until I was pinished with my labelled lolly sticks all beautifully boxed and ready to go (for a year or two's time, when the Bundle may have passed on from the everything-must-be-tasted-and-chewed-upon stage).
P.S. Ta for the template Dorian.

Pinisher Link-up - Week 1 - Food
Clever girl, Dorian Speed of Scrutinies, is forcing encouraging us procrastinators pinners to actually pinish some of our million many pinned projects.
This week's theme is food.
I scoured my rather neglected "yum yum in my tum" food board and... who am I kidding it was always gonna be between the butter pecan sauce and the nutella brownies...fyi, brownies won.
Sidenote: no idea if these would work as gluten-free lovelies.
Original recipe here: Nutella Brownies
My pin: here.
Pinned photograph of the yummies here (since my seriously lacking computer skills only allow me to pin photos directly from my phone camera and not j.peg? them into this post).
Follow me here: Armour Academy - lots of funnies and organise-y things - my claim to fame being that the wonderfully funny Kelly Mantoan (of This Ain't the Lyceum) is a follower and I like to pretend she didn't just click follow because I repinned her funny pic of the cutie that is Teddy, her youngest :)
As for the recipe - yum! The suggested recipe only made me 10 decent sized muffin/cupcakes so you may wanna double up if you fancy making some (and you do believe me). The timing was off (I cooked mine 20/25mins rather than the suggested 30 and they were a touch dry) and you NEED to add just a couple or three hazelnuts to the top - they totally tip the cakes into heavenly, though I made a couple without the added nuts for my Hubby (loves Nutella but doesn't like hazelnuts - explain that to me if you can). Oh andlicking (ahem, sorry) cleaning the measuring cup, baking bowl etc. was delicious easy too.
Three ingredients cupcakes - what's not to love!
I AM A PINISHER!
Link-up to Scrutinies to join in the fun!
Except my procrastinator self is leaving it to the last minute, so you might have to wait until next week...
Next week's theme - Home - oh the choice of pins!
