No need to laugh at the look of my pancakes, I'm no masterchef
I'm loving weekends that are 90% chore free. Loving it.
This week I was thinking about my childhood and I thought about the joy I got from a Sunday lunch of pancakes. We'd do it every so often, mum would cook the pancakes and keep them heated in the oven until they were all ready. I'd often stew apples to go on top. Then like classy people, my mum, brothers and I would eat and eat until we were about to burst.
I think back on those Sundays fondly. Proof enough it's the simple things.
I decided to relive that experience today with my family. My daughter loves pancakes. So we prepared some fruit, pulled out the chocolate spread and maple syrup and we ate and enjoyed each others company.
And it was fun!
The simple things!
Cheers
Thanks so much for linking up with Super Stalker Sunday this week!
ReplyDeleteYour pancakes look delish - they're one of my favorite breakfast foods, too. And breakfast for lunch - or dinner - is even better!
Have a wonderful weekend.
Not only did you make pancakes Mandy..you made memories for your kids! Very fond ones around the table eating such yummy food. Nice one!! D

oh lucky you - I have MORE chores on the weekend - why is that?
ReplyDeleteIt's a skill to ignore it. I'm trying really hard to churn through the washing etc during the week so I don't have to do it. Obviously feeding the kids etc will always be there but if I can reduce all the other stuff it doesn't seem as bad.
Deleteuhm, I want pancakes now! How cozy and great that you give some of your own childhood traditions to your daughter. Thanks for your love on my blog :-)
ReplyDeleteYummy! I love pancakes. Chocolate spread - now that is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteYour pancakes look awesome compared to mine! lol. We usually put golden syrup on our's, but your strawberries and bananas look delish.
ReplyDeleteps. I found your blog via SSS and am now following :-)
Thanks Lisa, I've been following you for awhile, love alittle scrappy inspiration. Hoping to whip through the house work this arvo so I can sit down and scrap. It's always a little too long inbetween sessions for me.
