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.

Taking the photos in different lighting made a huge change to the shading.

I wish I could join you with that delicious piece of cake and tea my Dear Lizelle. Your son sounds like our twin boys, lol. Although they are only three years old, I am sure that's how they will be when they grow up, lol. @tipu curate

Those look so good and yes I think all families with more than one child find quite big contrasts between them I know I did see that

Oh, you nearly broke me! That cheesecake is absolute - over the top beautiful, delicious-looking, mouth-watering stunning... I cannot tell you how it connected with me. :)

As an aside, the photo with the tea is a class act. Perfection.

Kids are such fun, aren't they? My mom had nine kids and I was the only one who didn't come home with a suitcase full. LOL I wish you a most wonderful day!

My daughters are opposites as well @lizelle. They're both visiting soon and it's always a treat. :) Laundry is just part of it isn't it? lol I'm sure you miss him already, they don't stay long enough. Comfort food is always good, I love your blueberry cheesecake...wow This would be perfect for the family visit. A hot cup of tea and a slice of heavenly cheesecake, just what the doctor ordered!

I couldn't resist stopping by for a slice of this! Simply delicious! There was a time years ago after I had moved out when the place I was living didn't have a washer/dryer. Every week I would come home to do laundry at my parents' house and play cards with my grandmother. It seemed like a pain at the time, but those were some great memories!

That Cheesecake looks so good, and one thing I never did when I visited home was bring home laundry to be done, now not saying I was a saint as I surely wasnt lOL
