Five for Friday edition 17

So how are you doing? The end of the week is in sight.

1. It was the Spring dance for the grade 5-7 last night. A was invited by friend Kr to dress and get ready at her house. Her older sister did these wonderful braid hairstyles for the girls (she is only 14!). They looked so very pretty - but also so very big.

 2. I have not as yet tried tuna mayonaise with the kids. I really do not know why not. On Sunday evening I did health bread toast with it for dinner and it was a hit. They had it during the week or lunch once again and loved it.

3. My mom's orchids are flowering again - every year I am astounded by the beauty of these strings of exotic blooms dangling down from a vase in my house. And yes! It's Spring !!!
4. Have you registered for Santa Shoebox this year? Pledges opened yesterday. I am so happy that with the Voortrekkers we have managed to pledge 61 boxes this year. I just love that Suzelle DIY is supporting them - and showing us how to pack a shoebox.

5. We received a lovely blogdrop from Pediasure this week. At some stage in our lives I am pretty sure L almost lived on the stuff - it was a great help. Now I am looking forward to use it as supplement on days when the kids may have had a lot of exercise and need something more to keep them going. I can definitely recommend it Pediasure



I hope you have a wonderful weekend - what's your 5 for Friday?

    Beautiful braids...
    61 boxes that's impressive. Yet to pledge but we always pledge 2 or 3 boxes (one teenage boy, one teenage girl and a little girl of K's age)

    K loves Pediasure and I've also been using it for days when the little miss gets fussy about eating



    Ps: not a fan of mayonnaise so not a staple in our house, wonder if I should try it for K

      Lots of kids add to 61 boxes - next year we are going to start earlier and do even more

    Love those braids!
    Gosh, love tune mayonnaise, gotta try in. Just not in a lunchbox, soggy sandwich.
    Spring is springing for sure. I can smell the neighbours Jasmine, heavenly

      We tried it on seed bread in the lunch boxes and that kept well. I think because the bread is so dense

    Mine will not eat tuna mayo! Drives me dilly. And those hairstyles are just incredible!

      Belinda I added some Mrs Balls to it to take away the sour a bit - I think it makes it way nicer for the kids
