In our house, bread is always a winner. It is the weekend treat we all look forward to, and a loaf sometimes does not last us a day. This sandwich bread is perfect for weekday lunch boxes, or weekend breakfasts.
Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Sandwich Bread ♥
On Easter Sunday Hannah came to us for a treasure hunt. She had asked for one, and requested that Scarlett and Molly help her look. And whereas the idea of the dogs looking for eggs may be appealing to a two and a half year old, it is of course not practical. They would have hunted all the eggs without a problem, and eaten them. So, I had to hide them at a height she would be carried. And then hope she would understand she had to point in the direction she wanted the person carrying her to go. Seeing as that person was me it did not take too long to find all of them. She squealed in delight each time she saw them, placing them very carefully into the basket she was carrying. Each time she found her treasure she asked “nog?” (more).

Eventually we were all done, and then let her choose two to have before lunch. James then hid the basket from her so that it was out of sight, out of mind. Once the excitement of the egg hunt was over she wanted to explore, while still being carried. I have been repeating ‘when I am three no more carrying me’ in the hope she will grasp this. Not because I mind having her in my arms. But because she is so heavy! By Monday morning my right arm knew all about the weight it had been lugging around. We went up and down the stairs a few times and eventually I could put her down to ‘race’ in the garden. She even got a trophy each time she was the winner, which is all the time as I chase after her mainly to keep Scarlett from knocking her over.
