Mummy and Bella

It's always nice to have some one on one time with my little girl Bella, and she always likes helping me in the kitchen, so I thought it would be nice to make a cake together.
I found this recipe in one of those free coles brochures and we both love mango's, coconut and custard so we decided to try it out.
Bella was so excited, she grabbed a kitchen chair to stand on while I gathered all the ingredients, as soon as I opened the custard and marscapone she was already asking to lick the spoon, I suppose Bella gets that from me, when we started to mix the vanilla bean seeds into the marscapone I couldn't help my self either and thats when the real fun began, I would have a lick then bella picked up the mango which I had sliced to put onto the cake and she would have a lick of the mango and then say oh that tastes bitter then she would have another lick and another lick. I opened the bag of coconut and her hand flew so fast into the air to grab some coconut I just knew she was having the time of her life.
We did finish the cake and it looked so sweet just like the picture then Bella said we will leave it in the fridge now and when daddy comes home he will love it......

The Giant Belly

Well its coming to the end of the longest pregnancy ever, and the count down is on!!!!

Over the past months the baby in the giant belly has dined on the very best of foods including smoothies, cakes, chocolates and other sweet foods, because my theory is what you eat is what you are so I know my little baby will be so so sweet....... 

I find myself very lucky to be having the baby at the sweetest time of the year, you guessed it summer time. I have my bags packed and ready for the moment the baby in the giant belly decides to pop out. 

And the only worry on my mind will be my dear dear husband and the 3 little pigs at home, what will happen at home I don't know, will Bella get her hair brushed, will Peter get to school on time, will Christian get his nappy changed all will be revealed in a matter of time will super dad aaron live up to the challenge!!!!! 

Stay tuned to see what happens in the lives of the viljoens.   

Beerenberg Strawberry Farm

Strawberries are so sweet and luscious, so we decided to take the kiddies down to the strawberry farm, its free for children to pick and only costs $3 bucks for adults. As soon as we got there we headed for the strawberry patch, it was such a treat to see the strawberries they where as big as kiwi fruits and the flavour was so sweet. Peter and Bella started picking while christian sat in the dirt eating strawberries, he

was covered from head to toe.

We all had a great day especially the kids, Bella loved the whole experience and couldn't stop commenting on how she loved going to strawberry shortcakes strawberry farm and picking the strawberries, while on the other hand peter will not eat fruit so I have to be a bit more creative in the way I serve his food, I usually will make up a smoothie and blend up heaps of fruit, ice-cream, milk, honey, and vanilla bean puree, which is really sneaky of me because what he cant see wont hurt him, it all just tastes sweet.
