Wow, a whirlwind hit us this weekend and by that I don't mean as in weather wise, no; the youngest fledgling decided to pay us a surprise visit!

Speaking to all mothers and fathers with more than just one little babe; are yours also total opposites?

Mine are for sure; one is like a calm sea-blue ocean and the other a stormy, restless ocean!



The latter flew in on Friday night and almost blew the house apart.



Being a bachelor and being real disorderly as far as housekeeping goes, guess what his luggage is filled with each time he visits?

You've guessed right; one change of clothing and the balance laundry for Mom!

So our tranquil calm ocean turned into a stormy sea, but it was an amazingly wonderful storm and when the fledgling left last night, the house felt lonely and empty again.

So being a sweet tooth, I needed some cheering up and with summer on the way, what better than having a Blueberry Vegan Cheesecake, a cup of Chamomile tea and listening to the most beautiful Queen song

Love of my life.
