things I'm loving

I'm loving that the little guy is into sewing.  It started as a way to keep him busy while big brother had a friend over to play, and he really likes it.

Soaking and cooking chickpeas, freezing some and making roast pumpkin hummus with the rest.  The bread rising always makes me happy too.  Although lately it's rising too fast!  Maybe it needs popping in the fridge? 

  

 Chocolate black bean brownies. Gluten free, dairy free and seriously delicious, you won't know the beans are in there.  I've seen them around before but I used this recipe from My Darling Lemon Thyme. 

Loving it when the loaf turns out this beautiful... trust me it doesn't always,
especially not lately with the super fast rising.

I love these corn lollies that a friend brought us from Martha's backyard.  They remind me so much of living in California when I was seven, yummy high fructose corn syrup (ick).

Loving not being a professional photographer so I can happily share average cell photos on my blog.

Little brother spent a whole hour stamping paper for his friend's birthday wrapping paper. 

While big brother spent the same hour typing his story about an evil pumpkin.

Loving random holiday photos that I'd forgotten about.  At the Huka falls.

If you're in Auckland tomorrow you'll be loving this amazing school fair. 

It's seriously a wonderful family time.  We'll be going early.
