Hello Kitty 🎂

I made a Hello Kitty cake for my Hello Kitty obsessed nieces 3rd birthday. The last pic was the one I sent my sister on the day of the party, 2 hours before I arrived with the cake 😂

Butter cake with Vienna cream icing (Australian Women’s Weekly birthday cake book recipes).

🎀 She’s too much 🎀

She’s literally too much! The level of cuteness should be illegal 🥰

It’s finally cold enough to justify the big heater

I fully expected her to abandon me when this heater finally got put on… turns out she truly is cat-like 😅

Got invited to a toddler birthday party and my girl was specifically requested

Here she is afterwards with my nephew. He’s a soft touch when it comes to swiping treats — specifically sausages tonight.

She was so gentle with all the kids, though I made sure she was limited around them and took her for several walks just to keep her calm and to stop her from getting overwhelmed.

Something’s up

No matter what time of the day or night if we pass this house Quincy is obsessed with this tree. I’ve never seen a bird or possum in it — but something must reside up there 🤨

Catholic pocket Bible recs needed

Hi all
I’m needing to ask for help in finding Catholic pocket bibles. Well, one bible actually. My sister travels every couple years and recently got back from her international trip and wash devastated at her decision to rely on a digital copy of the bible. She hated it. Unfortunately, all her copies of the bible are full sized, not small or slim for reduced size and weight. We do a lot of hiking so size and weight is a huge factor here.

Her favourite translation is the Jerusalem Bible and we’re both aware that may be limiting things too much. So a decent translation would be preferable. Other preferences include soft leather cover or similar.

Any help/recommendations would be amazing. Links or personal feedback too.

Her birthday is in July so I’m not on a time crunch yet.

Thanks and God bless you all!

Slurpy noises

My baby needed a cold beverage after watching me mow the lawns in the sunshine.
