Yesterday my beautiful and supportive friend KB popped round and showered me with Chanel polish, flowers, home cooked delicious food, gifts, and Superior Chat. I know. So spoilt and lucky.

Mr FF gave the baby this silver rattle. It's like a mini bar bell. Don't worry- I don't let him play with it unattended or anything.

Last night the Universe directed me to whip up some 'Slaw

Which I paired with some Glazed Pork Chops

And then afterwards I actioned some mini peach crumbles. Just because I could.

My lovely friend M made this for the baby with her own bare hands, with blanket stitch!!! The Level of CUTE!

K gave me this divine knitted lion for the baby. I love it 1 million/10. It's a brand called Kenyan Knitter Critter handmade by rural women in Kenya! It's hand dyed with local Kenyan plants and was made by a lady called Phylis!!

The lion has Superior High End Hair. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I know. It's hairdo is a bit like Ole Mr
FF's. Here's the Proof-

Niece FF is here tripping the light fantastic

We've followed our Time Honoured Routines that involve Barbie

and actioning Polish (Essie's Touch of Grenadine from
Blighty)

Meanwhile this is me

Sometimes I use (steal) the baby's cashmere
blanky as a shawl. Don't tell.

If you're doing a low
carb dairy free diet or anything Dr Atkins-
esque LOOK AWAY Right this minute. Because I've been eating my body weight in creamy pasta.

I always thought my whippersnapper mower man was a school kid with a
whippersnipper. Boy was I was wrong. The world's most professional and high tech Mower Expert turned up the other day and sorted the FF Garden out like No One's Business. I can't tell you how much time I've saved by outsourcing the pruning and non specific garden admin.

It's a bit rainy so I've been baking some almond cake. With a syrup topping.

That's just how we roll round these here parts.
My sisters are here so might go an action some cups of tea
xxxx
It all looks wonderful, FF!

FF, I am pleased to see that life is continuing to be fantasic to you and the FF family is looking well :) I must ask though, what happened to Neice FF's superior hair? Not that it isn't still looking superior, just a bit shorter! x
ReplyDeleteYou're looking fantastic FF! Now, what did you glaze that pork chop with because it looks delicious? xx
ReplyDeleteDear God, please give the name of your mower company! I've been trying to get someone in to prune and weed and what have you, and everyone claims to just mow, or whippersnip the beds!
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely beautiful, FF. So happy for you.
Ok you really are wonder woman and one day you will post the hot pants and red boots photo to prove it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I love more the baby FF monogram or the lion with Mr FF's hair!
horray! both hands are free to action :-)
ReplyDeleteThe khaki-tunica-dress suits you very very well!
I love knitted friends, too.
Those bears were knitted from ladies at the church's Christmas market.
Your niece has a new haircut. Isn't it cute how girls play with their hair after having had a haircut, no matter if they are in the 0's or 30's. :-=
Good to see Baby FF working out and not just lying around all day! I am currently having my first OPI experience, a dark green polish I bought in NY. Jade is the new black!
ReplyDeletemmmm creamy pasta's! Newborns are too adorable.
ReplyDeleteI swear that child has the most elegant fingers. Clearly Superior in every way. I actioned a Jamie Oliver recipe involving broccoli and anchovies last night. He Let Me Down. Might have to outsource the cooking to the Ole Pardner.
ReplyDeletePS: If you've run out of thankyou notes THANKS20 is the code to get 20 per cent off at Kikki.K at the website until Sunday. Apparently, there's also free shipping.
ReplyDeleteI made a syrup cake the other day - very yummy. Needed cream to tone down the sweetness but well worth it! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love Chanel Peche nacree! You look fab and so thin already xx
ReplyDeleteYour baby has very beautiful hands. I have high hopes for him being a piano player or a brain surgeon.
ReplyDeleteYou gorgeous new Mummy you! What beautifully balanced days you are having. It's so nice to see you enjoying and appreciating the spoiling...this is indeed a very special time in your lives. Beck xx
ReplyDeleteLoving all that!
ReplyDeleteHRH baby FF, the delicious food, revamped garden and the delightful mane on your lion. Life is beautiful!
Oh my, I want to nibble Niece FF's chubby little fingers off! They are like sweets, with their pink tips...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous rattle!!

FF, you are looking freaking fantastic! And, the 'Baby FF' jumpsuit is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI know you know it, but you are truly blessed to have such wondrous peeps in your corner.

Yes, my sister and I enjoy actioning cups of tea too.
ReplyDeleteRecently I tried Russian Caravan tea for the first time.
It was very marvellous.
And at present I am being inundated by peaches from our tree.
I'm building up to making a big batch of Peach Almond Pudding - one of Delia's recipes - it is superb - I think it sounds like something you might like.

This week I also conjured up some Peach and Tomato Chutney - it is very tasty with cold chook.
I know how much I love visiting my sister.
I hope you are having a wonderful time with yours.
What a beautiful, peaceful post. Tea with your sisters, sounds divine. Tell me, where are you in the order of sisters? I'm guessing by your super-actioning skills, that you're daughter #1! Is that true? xx
ReplyDeleteI love the Baby FF outfit too, and his groovy rattle. Your neice is so cute, and I bet she loves her new cousin. Glad you're having fun and all of you are well - tea and sisters is the best thing!
ReplyDeleteLove the baby rattle/workout tool...sweet little hands and superior nails on baby FF...what is Baby FF's name BTW?
ReplyDeleteHaving someone to help in the garden is such a great idea...
I can see that you are back in action in the kitchen and keeping up your personal appearances in a very fashion savvy way!
Your neice's bob is very cute!
Dar FF,
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun hanging out with you and Baby FF! He is perfection in every way and he slept the entire time swaddled away as we carted him around. Truly a superior sleeper!
I'm glad you like the lion. I was looking for something Leoish and the Kenyan Knitter Critter fitted the bill. Had no idea of the spooky resemblance to old Mr FF's back of head though.
Niece FF looks divine as usual and I can vouch for the deliciousness of the syrup cake.
Have fun with your sisters and finding out what REALLY happens in your neighbourhood. 'Citing times!

The photo of baby FF's tiny mitt on his silver rattle is worthy of a beautiful frame.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous post!
xx
Dear FF, you look gorgeous. I LOVE the knitted lion and I'm very glad everyone is looking after you, you deserve it xx
ReplyDeleteIt seems I'm not the only one to notice what beautiful little hands the baby has. You're looking fabo FF. I'm pleased to see that you've lost not an ounce of your mojo!!
ReplyDeleteDear Ms FF, Niece FF is in the house!! I love the piccie of her little painted paws. I think that I will do the girls's paws on the weekend too. We like doing girly things like this as we can chat and chat. The Chanel Pêche Nacrée nail polish is very in vogue at the moment. I am loving the sister Chanel nail polish, Black Pearl. Have you seen it? I want to eat carbs too - I think it is the body's natural preparation for Winter. One has to maintain one's rubenesque figure... Lindaxxx
ReplyDeletethe baby ff jumpsuit is visionary. dare i say, i luff it. your hair looks fabulous too, very full and bouncy!
ReplyDeleteyou make motherhood look heavenly. seriously, i love hearing about the time after mum's have babies and while im sure there are some tricky and no-so-great moments overall it honestly sounds glorious!
that essie polish is beautiful, must source immediately.
hope you're having a ball with your family :)
OMG I just came across your marvelous blog, and have spend the past hour browsing and loving every minute of it (I have forgotten the water running in the kitchen, children are starving and hubby - very hungry on the couch) LOVE it and am your newest follower. Please come and say HI sometime, perhaps you'll love what I do and follow me too:)
ReplyDeleteA xx
Oh that little baby hand on the silver rattle, so very sweet.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I love the hand stitched baby ff outfit.
You're looking good for a new mum in spite of all the pasta!
Love how nothing has slid from your stylish agenda, love Posie
ReplyDeleteFF, You are making all this baby stuff look too easy. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSay what you will about me but once I start I can't stop. And I am a stickler for meticulous. Its been like that with your blog, and true to form in the past week I think I have read every post since the start (you see thats commitment). You are wonderfully infectious, and have sparked me to laugh, cry and think about a lot of things that too easily get swept over family, friends, life and love. Thank you for that and sending you and Mr FF huge congrats on baby FF. Truly adorable, you are very blessed and lucky. Ps that side bun arrangement seriously screams out for a FF how to video.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos, radiating such a happy atmosphere! You look amazing, and baby FF's hands so delicate and adorable. Have a most wonderful rest of the weekend x
ReplyDeleteThought of you dear when I saw this news article!
