WE did not bake that spread in a day, but rather spread over a year!!! Yup, the father person is indeed diabetic and he will get a taste of any baking when he gets home from work at the end of the day. Otherwise I don't consciously avoid sugar, we just generally don't. I guess it is a bit like holidays in the desert - every time you get to a river you take a photograph and every one thinks you have been on holiday in an oasis. Well every time our kids get a treat we blog it!!! We do bake a treat maybe once a week but shared between everyone it isn't that big a deal. They very rarely get juice or soda because they just aren't used to it and don't really like it, half a glass and then they ask for water because they are thirsty. I think a bit of moderation is fine - I don't want to make a big deal out of it because forbidden fruit is always so tasty! No special secret we just never ever go totally mad on it ... Hope you all have a good week! Hi L, Remember these are photos added to a post!!! WE did not bake that spread in a day, but rather spread over a year!!!

Not to mention their immunity system that goes down with all the sugar? And if I’m not mistaken, your husband is a diabetic? We allow our children only with their birthday parties (well by now it is 7 per year) to have sweet treats and every time, 24 hours after the party, Christo and I promise ourselves never again! It is much more difficult to discipline them, they are more irritable, they sleep worse and they almost always came down with flu. Do you have a secret, you would like to share? Waiting in anticipation for the arrival of Hood #8! May God bless that special time of giving birth! Hi Se7en

I first lined the bowl with slices of madeira dipped in jelly. then iced it as a soccor ball. And i also made that yummy marie biscuit thing with the cherries and mallows. Yum yum. Good call on just making one of those... I was nearly eating it all myself. My oven is on the blink so for my 3 y.o’s bday i did ice-cream cake (my 1st one, exciting!).
