WWTK 51 - Get your easter hop on ..

I've been having problems down loading photo's from my camera so I can't show you any of the pictures I took.  I baked a birthday cake for a friends little girl. And even if I have to say so myself it was not bad at all.  Most importantly she loved it.

Also, I've been crazy busy but with nothing remotely interesting, meaning there's been nothing to blog about.

But not to worry. Today is Wednesday which means it's  time for Mamarazzi & Crazymama's WWTK - Yay!





As you no doubt you know that Mamarazzi is still very busy with her show so this week Crazymama is doing the asking.

And she wants to know:

{1} What is your favorite easter tradition?

We started a 'new' easter tradition when we moved into our house four years ago.  We have a little 'forest' behind our house and so on easter Sunday we invite our friends and have an easter egg hunt for the kids.

We have a very generous bunny called Fred who leaves hundreds of eggs for the kids to find in between the trees and wild flowers.




This picture was taken the first year we did it.

 {2} Tell us about your easter meal.

After the hunt we all follow the smell of the bbq back to our house. Often it is the first bbq of the spring/summer.

We have all the usual  trimmings since everyone will bring something.  Salads, fresh baguettes, cold cuts, meat, meat and more meat.  And for dessert there usually is also a selection to choose from, tiramisu, cake, cheese cake.

{3} Do you decorate for easter?

I add to my easter decorations every year ... it's  not over the top like at christmas but I have a couple of things up in and outside the house.

{4} Your easter basket is not complete without ....

Lindt ....

I can't tell you how much I love these!

{5} Are you getting an easter dress?

I remember that I used to get a new dress for church each year.  Now, depending on the weather I wear an old pair of jeans and gumboots or a pair of shorts ... can't go hunting in a new dress now can I.

WWTK - It's all about birthdays

Hosted by : Mamarazzi & Crazymama

 

So this week Crazymama is in a bit of a birthday funk due to her baby turning one..... and with birthdays on the mind her questions are all about birthdays and birthday celebrations this week ....

This weeks she wants to know:

　

 

{1} what is your favourite way to celebrate birthdays?

For me there is no better way to celebrate than a big birthday party.

I didn't have those growing up so I tend to go a bit over board with the kids, I also bake lots of cakes.

They get to eat birthday cake for breakfast. Which normally is just a plain cake, no over the top decorations.

I bake a cake for them to take to school - decorated according to their theme of choice.

We also have a party for them. Again they pick what kind of cake they want me to make and then we sort of go from there. Weather permitting we try to have a party at home for them. Or, if they would rather do something else we have a party at an indoor venue. Which means less clean-up for me so I can't complain too much about that.

{2} which is more fun to celebrate? Celebrating yours or your loved ones?

I love my kids birthday's followed by those of my man, and friends and family.

Don't like getting older so not big into celebrating my own. But I do like getting presents ... I know terrible I want presents without getting older.

{3} what is your dessert of choice for birthday celebrating?

Cupcakes! According to me nothing beats a good cupcake!

{4} tell us about your best birthday you've ever had.

It would have to be the birthday I had 5 years ago.

Dinner with some friends, followed by the Springboks winning the Rugby World Cup (springboks South African national rugby team) & to round it all of we had a huge party in my husbands pub celebrating the win and my birthday.

{5} Share your favourite birthday song

I do not have one of these, did not even know that people had favourite birthday songs. Looking forward to reading how other people answer this question.

{6} bonus question: if you could pick any age to be again, how old would you be and why?

I would want to go back to being 18.

But I would want to know what I know now .... which would mean that I would make other decisions. I don't want to change everything that has happened since then but I think a couple of changes would be good.

Blue & White and / or Purple & White

Hey, this is the first time I'm taking part in this link party .... pretty exciting stuff!

We Want to Know Wednesdays Q&A

Hosted by 

Mamarazzi & Crazymama

This week's questions are from Mamarazzi, and she wants to know...


1. What are your Top 3 blogging tips for other bloggers?

I'm pretty new to blogging and don't have too many tips but what I can say is:

Tip 1 -> Post comments, it's the only way of letting people know you are 'out there'
Tip 2 -> Take part in link parties, read other link up's and follow tip 1, leave comments
Tip 3 -> Remove your word verification, as  much as it annoys you it annoys your readers

2. What book have you read lately that you would recommend?

I'm busy reading the Stephanie Plum series, but I'm sure  most people have read those. I did however recently read Infidel, by Hirsi Ali ... eye opening and really interting.

3. What is as physical feature you have been complimented on?

Does  my  hair count? I changed my hair quite drasticly and have gotten quite a few shocked looks most of the time followed by a compliment.

4. What colour is your toothbrush?

Navy & White   and Purple & White ... that's right, I have two. One at home and one in my handbag.

5. What question would you like to add to a future WWTK?

How did you meet your significant other?
