KBB Challenge # 25: Scones

Hellow again, KBB challenge! I actually took part at the last challenge but I forgot to blog about it regarding the moving-thingy. This time, I don't wanna miss it again. So here I am, on my day off and sitting in our new dining table. Yup, we replaced our huge dining table with a round one to make more space in the living/dining room. It was actually hubby's idea and it turned out so well. Later on we do need space, space and space for the three of us - the new flat has 73m² and it forces us to be well organized with the stuff we have. I don't have to spend hours to clean the flat. It's so practical!! The weather is still treating us well. We had some sunny days and still have chances having tea-time and dinner in our garden. Nevertheless, we also notice that the autumn is on its way.

Today, Sept 19th, I'm at my 24th week. Woohooo...time flies so fast. My baby bump is growing. The little pea is active. The things-to-do-list needs also to be done, one by one; such as: maternity leave, Elterngeld, finding the right clinic/hospital, etc and hence of some baby needs we still have to buy.

KBB #25 is making scones to celebrate KBB's 4th Birthday. The recipe I used is simple and easy and I added chocolate chunks. We had them with homemade jam which made by a friend's mom. What a good combo!
