So how do you entertain a girl who just doesn't want to sleep in the afternoon??? After pulling my hair out wondering what on earth to do as I saw my down time slip away, I decided we would have a baking session. Miss B was donned in all her glory in her cooking apron, given to her by her lovely Aunty Sue.
The experiment was to bake a cake using Nuttelex, a replacement for butter (all those cooks out there cringing, I know!). Miss B is on a no dairy and no soy diet and it had dampened my enthusiasm for baking until today. And guess what? The cake was delicious!!! A never fail Madiera cake recipe from Nigella Lawson's How To Be a Domestic Goddess.
Let's just hope I can exhaust her tomorrow so I can have some time to sew in the afternoon...

Welcome to the world of 'toddlers who have dropped naptime'...I have been living in this world for a good 9 months and have become VERY well acquainted with our DVD player.
Sometimes we bake, craft or garden but most days its all too tiring!
I must give that recipe a whirl. Bridgi looks like she is enjoying herself x
I am sooooo in love with Miss B - such concentration !!
