Hats Off to Harry by Janice McFarlane

Well as its Easter weekend It would be appropriate to feature Easter Bonnets or in Harrys a hat. Now I remember as a child in the 1960s making Easter bonnets at school and they were nowhere near as elaborate as what the kids do today. Mine was a paper plate with a couple of long strips of crepe paper attached to either side so the hat could be fastened my head. To decorate we had seed scrunched up coloured tissue paper glued to the top to look like flowers and VOILA! Easter bonnet made. At Harrys school its a competition for the best and they are quite elaborate as competition is fierce. Themes are thought out and whilst parents can help the children have to be involved and have the concept. As Harry goes to boxing he wanted a boxing ring with Harry V Eggy. Of course eggs and easter decorations had to be used and this is what him and his dad came up with. He didnt expect to win at all, but he did in his age group and was rewarded with a chocolate Easter egg. I think it was a fab idea and very unusual, but he did say it was heavy to wear on his head.

April Fool by Vicki Avcin

My daughter loves to play a joke at home, at work, given an opportunity she will do it. So imagine when I get a message been keeping a secret Mum go to my page. Now Im past playing jokes and wasnt even thinking about it being April Fools day. I might also mention she also loves making little videos. So I go to her page and there is a little video with the Australian Survivor logo. It is a real shame I cant put the video up but it was exactly as they do the promos for the competitors on the real show. Now with her athletic and sporty background I was convinced theyd picked her to go onto the show. So here I am congratulating her on her big secret and telling her how great shed be on the show……I was so excited. She let it go for about 10 mins and then piped up……Mum its April Fools Day. I was a bit deflated at that point but laughed hard at her joke. Oh well…….it was good while it lasted! She did manage to fool quite a few people though so Im not the only April Fool!!! This weeks designs are two lovely swan designs.

Dog lunch has had a Glow Up by Sue Way

Our Golden Retrievers suffer from seasonal allergies, which make them very itchy and can cause hot spots. So we decided to try to feed them healthier snacks to replace their shop-bought dog biscuits. This can work out quite expensive, so we decided to make our own. Hubby has been making them a chewy biscuit, made from carrot, oats and honey, which they absolutely love! Then the other day I made them Peanut Butter & Oat Sticks. I added a little chunky apple sauce too. They are nice and crunchy. Both got Billys nom-nom seal of approval.
