Friends, when you work full time and you have STUFF TO DO...it just gets done.
By hook or by crook.
I know...you're admiring my DIY chandelier, aren't you. More on that in a minute.
Meanwhile, I used the Easter long weekend to enjoy some peaceful reflection, as one should at this time of year. It's not all about chocolate and camping, folks.
Speaking of chocolate though, we avoided gifting too much of it, purely for healths sake.
The granddaughters instead received SOME chocolate, and other little gifts like this cute succulent in a ceramic bunny bowl...
….Unicorn milkshakes, which granddaughter number 2 (in birth order, not in any sort of order of preference), declared she could SEE the unicorn in....
….the traditional feast was held...
...new little friends were made in the garden...I do not like stick insects, but to my enormous surprise, they were declared 'beautiful' by daughter and granddaughters and permitted to climb over both.
Easter goings-on complete, it was on to the business of the week ahead.
Sweet potato was roasted for lunches.
Pantry salad was made...basically a tin of bean mix, a tin or corn kernels, and a good dose of a mixture of maple syrup, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and wholegrain mustard. A favourite from wayyyy back. And great for work lunches.
...fresh herbed ricotta...can't make it fast enough to keep up with the demand just now!
Todays lunch lighter fare...some of the aforementioned ricotta, roasted sweet potato, baby spinach and smoked salmon. Yummy.
Here's my $5 chandelier and about $25 worth of aurora borealis crystals ordered on Wish.com.
Here's my $5 chandelier hung.
Impressive, right?
Many of these crystals are attached with jewellery magnets. They're meant for DIY necklaces. Works well, and much easier to remove and clean the crystals!
Make the most of every day friends.
Do one thing, then just one thing more. My Mums mantra.
It works for me!
What's happening there?
