This morning, I found myself remembering a really cute Christmas episode…
I must have been about 7 or 8 years old. On Mum’s recommendation, I put out a plate of Jubilee fruit cake, a glass of milk and a carrot stick (for the reindeer of course) by the Christmas tree. I remember thinking that my mum [...]
Late last night, my dog Arky pulled a stunt that I thought was way too adorable.
He climbed into a box that had clothes intended for a thrift shop, and he thought he’d make a bed out of it. (I didn’t notice til about 12 am, when I was on my way to bed, and I [...]
I made these for our Easter lunch today.
It’s been a week since my boy celebrated his first birthday, and I organised a big bash to go with it. I really pushed myself, and got caught up in all the details, some of them very fine, but it was worth it! I had a lot of fun, even during the hours leading up [...]
Below is a shot of the cutesie angel that I received from my TIW Kris Kringle.
Last year’s KK present looked like this:
Below is my son’s first Christmas stocking which my mum made for me. I’m really proud of how it turned out.
My mum gave me her old sewing machine so I hope to churn out [...]

That’s what I made the other night– made it up as I went along–and it was delicious. I also threw in a bit of pastina to make it a little [...]
I made a second cake last week, using a recipe from the Low To No Additives book.
It was a yoghurt, lemon and lime number and it was pretty tasty. (I know that I said I was off dairy, but I now have it in moderation; my son’s food sensitivities have calmed down it seems–although I [...]
Yesterday…wait for it… I made a cake!
So what, huh? It’s a big deal for me because I cannot remember the last time I made one… it must’ve been when I was a teenager, and even then I would have been helping my mum or it was probably one of those ghastly packet mix cakes.
I’ve had [...]
My darling son, my pride and joy, is 6 months old today.
Thank you for letting me be your mummy.
As of yesterday, Arky is now six years old. I tried to make his day special for him by giving him his favourite treats and letting him feast on yummy food. He’s pictured below having a birthday nap–his little siesta for the day. I love my little doggie so much, even if I don’t get [...]
