I don’t normally start thinking about Christmas until after Josh’s birthday which at the end of October, so I’m feeling a little bit smug that I’ve got one in early this year. This thermomix snow cake looks so pretty on any Christmas table and it really does make the most perfect afternoon tea on the […] Read more…
Hello, Yes I’m still here! It’s been a while since I’ve been on my blog, but life has just very inconveniently got in my way recently. After what felt like weeks of the flu sweeping through our household, I was just getting my head above water when Lex-Rose came down with a confirmed case of the chicken […] Read more…
This post is sponsored byVanish Gold Oxi Action I’ve said for years that I really should buy shares in Vanish based on the amount I use it (that and sunscreen).

I was in Aldi the other day and they had frozen prawns on special offer. I LOVE prawns, so I stocked up and bought 4 bags to chuck in the freezer. Luckily we all love prawns in our house (apart from Mr D, but we’re converting him slowly). So, as we have a freezer full […] Read more…
We’ve just made it through the first week of the schools holidays! I say made it as it’s not been the easiest week, with freezing, rainy Sydney weather and sick and vomiting kids!!

The first is breathing a sign of relief and thinking thank god there is going to be a great from lunch box making and crazy routines, and the other is starting to […] Read more…
I saw a recipe for vanilla butterfly cupcakes on Kidspot the other day and they really reminded me of my childhood. It also made me realise that I have never actually made my kids butterfly cupcakes before or even the classic cream and jam victoria sponge cake either. Every kid has to have butterfly cupcakes, it’s sacrilege! Yesterday […] Read more…
As a mum I have to make decisions for my kids on a daily basis, especially as they’re not old enough yet to make a lot of them for themselves. I don’t always get it right and suffer the mummy guilt consequences for a while before we all get over it and move on. However, there […] Read more…
It’s only two weeks until my kids will be on school holidays and the thought of it is giving me the jitters already. Although it will be amazing to not have to make lunch boxes every morning, I still have to feed them during the holidays and (for some reason) they seem to want to […] Read more…
