I don’t need an excuse to bake, but Easter is a pretty good one! The 5 year old loves hot cross buns. So much so, that for weeks now he’s been taking them in his packed lunch to school. Every. Single. Day. Now I’m not going to pretend I bake them all the time – [...]

This is my boy. My beautiful boy, with the big brown eyes and the cheeky smile. I love him, to the moon and back a million times. And I tell him this. Every. Single. Day. Some days, my heart is so full of love, I could burst. For more variations of this week’s theme [...]

Some things are just begging to be snapped, and so many moments need to be captured. I have the ability to make time stand still at my finger tips, what could be better than that?! [...]

I’m not a pet owner. It’s not that I don’t like animals, I just get too attached to them and have been known to sob over gold fish. Seriously. Imagine the scene; Me, the Dearly Departed and the toilet bowl. Flush, bye bye fishy, sob sob sob. We get our animal fix elsewhere, usually at Chester [...]
