So one of my favourite and super quick recipes to make and giveaway is my white chocolate rocky road. It’s so easy, everyone wants to know what the red ‘bits’ are and it’s nice on the wallet coming in at around $6 or $7 for a batch. But I always make 2 batches – one for […]

November 30, 2010 By 5 Comments
Last sunday was the 1st sunday in advent, today is the first of December and the carpark at the mall also tells me it’s time to prepare for Christmas. I get so caught up in all of the rush and present buying so I have to say that carols are a great reminder of what I’m really preparing for. I’m loading up […]

November 29, 2010 By 18 Comments
I’m a creature of habit when it comes to the yummy things that come out of my kitchen in the lead up to Christmas.

Earlier in the year I ‘won’ a Little People Nativity Scene on ebay. I had sooooo wanted one the year before after seeing it on Skye’s blog but I couldn’t find one anywhere. So I got it for my own little people and last week let them play with it. However, by the second day of […]

I know you’ve been waiting for me to draw winners of the sweet broderie giveaway and they are coming later today, I promise. It’s been a tough week so far with retro daddy away and Finn’s asthma and croup seeing him back on the redipred (for the 3rd time). I’ve been sleeping on the couch […]
{Keep Reading...}twin love
November 22, 2010 By 27 Comments
having twins is a very special blessing and something I never could have imagined would happen to us. But any mum of multiples will tell you those early days are not all peaches and cream. It’s not like looking after two siblings close in age (as some people would like to tell you), you have 2 […]
{Keep Reading...}Elodie’s baptism
November 21, 2010 By 35 Comments
Well, I always get my babies baptised when they’re little bubbas and I say I’ll never do it again. And then the next baby arrives and I do it all over again. This time around things were a little easier as I outsourced a few things and also had it at 11.30am instead of 9am mass and […]
