Rollermania

On Friday E. attends

a roller blades course with other kids

in the local indoor stadium.

Today it's his 3rd lesson

He likes it very much

and he is always "training" in our garage.

In the first lesson he was really stiff

His legs looked like two logs

but then he got more confident

and now he is  looser

Ready
for jumps and loops ......

We bought this really cool helmet with skulls

because the one he was using for cycling

with colourful small cars & trucks

was not  C O O L enough .....

Spoilt kid or spoilt parents?

YOUR ♥ FOREVER

Mothers

hold theirs children's hands

for a short while

but their ♥

f o r e v e r

This is so true

but you'll never realize

until you are a mother

Since E. came into my life

I can understand much better

my mum and her never ending

Trans fat chocolate mousse

On Sunday E.

 (and me as Master Chocolatier's assistant)

prepared this ready made

C H O CO L A T E
M O U S S E

When I bought it I thought it was made

just of real pure chocolate

The brand was so reliable:

the famous Swiss Chocolate Company

But when I read the ingredients on the box

I found out that
 in this "magic" cocoa powder
they add also
unhealthy trans fatty acids
made through the chemical process of hydrogenation of oils.

Yes I know that in other foods

(like cookies, crackers, margarines, french fries)

we maybe eat without knowing 

and without paying attention to the label of the ingredients

you can find these trans fats
But being aware of that

gives you a strange feeling

It's like eating something

after you have read something sounding like

"It's poisoning"

Anyway next time

I will pay much more attention to labels

or I will prepare my own chocolate mousse 

following a real recipe like this 

(it looks  simple...)


♥

This is your world

New week

New opportunies

New experiences
New explorations

New horizons

New things to learn

Hope E. will be curious enough

to learn more & more about
the world around him

and strong enough to shape

his own  character

to face the
the world around him

Autumn is here

Gardening today

Such a lot of fallen leaves

M & E fixed the garden

before the winter sleep

So foggy like a real 

Autumn gloomy day

♥

Dragons exist ....

  E. doesn't have nightmares so often

Sometimes I hear him

mumbling in the middle of the night

but he never tells about scary dreams

He doesn't fear dragons or monsters

but he is afraid of ghosts and darkness

For this reason he doen't want to go upstairs

(where we have bedrooms) 
alone

He falls asleep with small star-shaped turned on lights 

hanging on the shelf opposite his bed

that we turn off as soon as he falls asleep

and when he wakes up in the night

he can turn them on

and go on sleeping

with their reassuring light

 

Lately he sometimes wakes up

in the middle of the night

and asks if he can join us

in the "big bed"

Not because of nightmares or ghosts

but just in

search of hugs
