Hi Girls,

Trace I am glad to hear I am not the only mummy crying when leaving my bubba ..although I am sure EVERY mum does it still feels different when it is your little baby doesnt it . The slowcooker receipe was the one in the SC forum..although I added a whole jar of plum jam as I cooked to big racks of ribs ...very yummy!. Tonight I did a beef and vege stew thing and Kaitlyn DEVOURED it! Your poor cousin , I hope she is ok and coping ..I cant even imagine how hard that must be.

Jo no probs on the reciepe ..I also found one for Dahl if you would like that :-) :
Ratatouille
1Lrg Onion Chopped
2cloves garlic , Crushed
2 TBLS tomato paste
2 Eggplants, cut into 3cms squares
2 Medium xucchinis sliced into 1cm rings
1 red capsicum , deseeded and chopped in to 3cms pieces
1 green capsicum , deseeded and chopped in to 3cms pieces
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatos
2TBLS chopped fresh thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Cook in slow cooker HIGH 3-4Hours OR Low 6-7hours

I tell you I have a new lover and he is big and silver and his nickname is SC hehehehehe

Soph I hear you on the CC thing ..I really struggle with letting Kaitlyn cry even for a minute!...to soft I am hehe. What a good little princess Lucie was sleeping in her cot !

Rae and Fletch I hope you are having a lovely dinner tonight!.

Ok girls I need your advice...what are your bedtime routines and how do you put your bubbas to sleep?. Kaitlyn is a funny girls and if you rock her to sleep she will wake HEAPs during the night and you have to rock her everytime...but she hates being put in her cot awake and will cry. We had it all kinda ok until we moved and four teeth came through and mummy got soft and was rocking her to sleep ..helppppp I should have this by now but I am still clueless as to how to get her settled. So just want your routines and rituals to help ..or at least make me feel like it is all normal :-)

Well my DH's parents are coming over tomorrow as we invited them ( olive branch blah blah ..is that the saying???) Anyway so nervous as I have not seen them since Jan17th after we had a huge fight. I know it will all be ok but still it is going to be so uncomfortable!.

Hope you girls are all enjoying your evenings.

Cass
