Recipe: Crunchy Lemon Squares

The last few weeks have been a bit of blur of busyness and I feel like I am VERY far behind on blogging with lots of posts just waiting to come to life. I can't really pinpoint why it's all been a little hectic but life in general seems to have picked up speed. And [...]

Recipe: Blueberry Muffins

If there's one recipe that makes me nostalgic, it's this one. The smell of these delicious blueberry muffins takes me straight back to my Granny's kitchen - breaking open the soft, fresh-out-the oven muffins, inhaling the delicious fragrance of freshly baked treats and gobbling them up while the blueberries were still warm and gooey. Scent [...]

Barefoot in the Kitchen – Banana Bread

Barefoot in the Kitchen – Banana Bread

I had a bunch of over ripe bananas sitting on the kitchen counter for well over a week while I kept debating whether or not I was actually going to bake the banana bread I had been promising to make. On Friday, when they were now inviting far more fruit flies than are ever welcome [...]

Perfecting the Perfect Pavlova

Perfecting the Perfect Pavlova

I love December and the summer holidays. It has to be my favourite time of the year! Despite the shops being a bit of a nightmare (hello online shopping!) and some folks more than a little grouchy, almost everyone is on leave and in one way or another, getting into the festive cheer. The Christmas [...]

Delightfully Decadent Chocolate Brownies

I wish I had more time to bake. It just soothes my soul - and then provides all sorts of deliciousness to enjoy over a hot cup of tea. Or in the case of these delicious chocolate brownies, a glass (or two) or champagne! The occasion? My friend's baby shower and as she's the first [...]

Wishing today's morning run view was as good as last weeks 🙃 Feeling all the post-holiday blues as the reality of the start of the new year kicks in 😷
| 12 weeks Blink and you’ll miss it 💙
World Prematurity Day 💙 I never thought I'd have one, let alone two prem babies but my babies just don't like to bake. I held my babies for the first time when they were three days old - the second time around, I left the hospital before holding my baby. It's hard, COVID made it harder, and nothing really prepares you for what you are about to experience but it is one you will never forget. The NICU is a special place and it's hard to fully understand what goes on behind those doors until you've walked through them 💙
"You were the baby.
Three 💙 Last week my biggest little turned a whole three years old. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little emotional as I tucked my two-year old in for the last time. In the blink on an eye, my baby became a little boy with the gentlest soul, most phenomenal personality and cheekiest sense of humour who knows just how to tug my heartstrings. Being his mama is the greatest privilege 💙
Happy Due Date 💙 Not to be out done, this tiny human made sure his arrival was every bit as dramatic as his big brother's. At four weeks early, he stayed baking just one week longer than his brother and with a week in NICU, made sure this mama became a seasoned pro at premies 😉 Soaking up every inch of this fleeting newborn stage 💙
