June 21, 2021 by Leave a Comment
It definitely feels like winter around these parts at the moment....dreary, wet, cold weather which means the fire has been on for weeks and weeks non stop and the gas bottle for the central heating is being filled up quicker than I'd like....it's an expensive time of year! One way to keep extra … [Read more...]

You know what I am going to find the time for this week? Some baking! It's one of the things that I miss the most since working away at an office is baking.

Lucy had her 39th birthday this week (still so young!) and Mrs Munro put on a beautiful small lunch on a glorious winter's day for her.

As the mist rose
June 2, 2021 by 53 Comments
Last week we had a run of freezing weather. The kind that crept through the floor even with the fire roaring and the central heating pumping out. The kind where the sun doesn't even seem to poke through the windows until almost 8, sparkling on the thick frost on the grass, trees and hedge outside. … [Read more...]
A little 6th birthday soirée
May 26, 2021 by 6 Comments
When I asked Maggie what she wanted to do for her birthday this year she was very certain: I want my cousins to come for a sleepover and I want a jumping castle. I was like, DONE!

We first had this version of potato bake at Mum's for her birthday a few weeks ago, and she was raving about the potatoes that my brother had made for her on Anzac Day so it's actually Sam that we have to thank for this deliciousness.

Hello and welcome to my Ted X talk on this delightful condition that pretty much every middle aged woman has or will go through at some stage. It's based on my own experience only and of course anecdotal evidence and discussion with hundreds of women through social media. I'm no where near finished … [Read more...]

A little mid week woo woo

Most mornings I wake up and while Rob makes my morning coffee I spend a riveting 5 minute telling him the intricate details of whatever dream I have had.

Monday Meal Ideas: Bake some snacks
February 22, 2021 by Leave a Comment
If your house is anything like ours during the week the after School hunger is REAL. It's big and it's real and it at times completely frustrates me as more and more food is consumed as we head towards dinner time and then there is dinner which gets pushed around the plate. This is much more common … [Read more...]
