Happy lil ❤’s are baking #17

What did you bake or cook with your kids this week?

Below is a linky list so you can join in the fun and start sharing what you bake with your kids! Family favourites, new recipes, cultural or traditional recipes – you name it, we’d like to read about them, and if you include the details, try them out 🙂 

Anzac day was yesterday ~ lest we forget
{taken with a phone}
Master D and his dad baked Anzac biscuits. 
These biscuits were sent to the Australian and New Zealand troops during World War I.
Pauline from Lessons Learnt Journal shared her yummy Anzac recipe last week and here is ours *smile*

Mix your dry ingredients together while the butter is melting. Then add the wet ingredients to the dry.
Roll balls and place on baking tray… eat a couple because they are tasty… leave lots of room for spreading
Bake for around 12 minutes at 160°C (about 320°F) 

Enjoy!


We can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to in the kitchen with your kids!

Our weekly rhythm

Having a weekly rhythm works for us. We look forward to each day and are excited by what they bring. And I love how a rhythm flows and adjusts to our needs, because although I love my lists and order in some parts of my life, at home with my kids I prefer a more fluid approach.

Monday is painting day
We start our day at Waldorf playgroup which is a great way to start our week! We enjoy the gentle flow of the morning and feel revitalised and ready for the week ahead.
In the afternoon, after nourishment and a rest, we paint! We enjoy painting on various surfaces; wood, glass, fabric, ourselves, and of course paper *smile*

 

 

Cleaning day is Tuesday

We wash clothes, fold, dust and generally tidy up. Since I’m not much of a cleaner we also often go on outings to the library and post office, or adventures to gardens, museums or the like!

We love Wednesdays – baking day!

Often Master D wants to get going before we have even dressed for the day, so often if you popped in on a Wednesday we would be baking in our pj’s *smile* And we love sharing our baking adventures at our linky ~ Happy lil ❤’s are baking ~ and we love to be inspired by your baking too!

 

Crafting day comes on Thursday

Sometimes we’ll play with playdoh, modelling wax, cardboard or needle and thread – the possibilities are endless really! We have lots of fun trying new things, especially when we can include Little Miss Q in the fun too *smile*

The kids also love that on Thursday Little Miss M and her mum come to visit and play…

 

Friday is outside play and gardening day

Although we enjoy the outdoors most days, it’s nice to have a day where we really focus on nature. We might just play in our backyard or do some gardening. Little Miss Q is enjoying investigating dirt and mud at the moment!

 

Weekends are family time

And we enjoy just spending time together, working on projects inside or out. Catching up with family and friends, with some relaxation and good food thrown in for good measure.

I was inspired by the talented Mama West Wind of Chocolate Eyes to prepare our rhythm visually. And Master D loves being able to check it, which is also great for keeping me on track too (no skipping painting day, or rather cleaning day!).

Do you use a rhythm for your days?

Sharing on Crafting on at Frontier Dreams 🙂

Warmly, Kelly
