baking and making with my family of 9
It all starts off so innocently! You find a craft you like, you start buying a few things and suddenly the bag/box/knitting basket/shelf overflows and you need more space for your craft. Then you might pick up another craft and off you go buying more equipment and supplies for that craft and next thing you know you […]
{Keep Reading...}Sponsored by Nuffnang A trip to the movies, sharing some popcorn and enjoying a choc top in front of the big screen makes for one happy afternoon. And so my Finn was in little boy heaven last week when we all headed out to a special advanced screening of Cars 2. So special that we had to hand in […]

I feel the luckiest girl in the world. Or so I thought. Recently, retro daddy came home and said ‘heh, I was on the plane […]

I don’t know what to call these. The recipe calls them chelsea buns, I think they are scrolls and I’m pretty sure the americans would call them rolls. But whatever you call them, they are good. Really good. I’m a huge fan of PW’s cinnamon rolls and the oh so buttery goodness. But they do […]

A little too much if yesterday’s consumption is anything to go by. I made some a few weeks ago but they did not meet with her approval. […]
{Keep Reading...}This is our favourite cake at the moment. It’s really light and tasty and I love that it uses both the rind and juice of one orange. Oh and it’s quick and easy, which of course I love. In the thermomix it takes a total of 1 minutes and 5 seconds from milling the sugar to […]
{Keep Reading...}The craft drought has well and truly broken here. I’m back! And knitting! For Elodie. And it feels so good to be making things. I am also determined to stick to my one knitted garment per child policy that I instituted here this winter. I must not fail. But so far this makes two for Elodie […]
{Keep Reading...}I know what you’re thinking. Enough already with the recipes and telling us how much you love your thermomix. We get it. Sorry, I do love it. But I just have to share this delicious chunky dip with you. It’s so delicious, fresh and tasty. I also love the recipe as it makes a huge amount which […]
