So it was recently brought to my attention…..by the little people in this family…..that they are over the frittata for dinner! They don’t want it anymore. Time for a change. So yesterday in the car when they poo poo’d the idea of frittata I said what do you want and they all wanted quiche. Oh. […]

pre-baby nerves
June 4, 2012 By 21 Comments
I’d be lying if I told you all I didn’t have any nerves before the birth of our next little one. In fact I’ve been grinding my teeth at night which is always a sign that something is bothering me. The thing is that I’m not nervous about another c/section, or going into labour before […]

June 3, 2012 By 14 Comments
I’ve actually never made a baked cheesecake before. Cheesecake yes but baked no. This is a winner and I’d make it to feed a crowd or a large family because it makes so much. In fact I’m not sure we’re going to finish it all because retro daddy is on a health kick and won’t […]

Recently I received a lovely email from a reader who had just completed her RCIA through the church and become a catholic! I always think it’s such a lovely thing to do as it’s a big commitment to make as an adult and something that cradle to grave catholics can often take for granted. And […]

Well we are in the thick of party preparations here as tomorrow our gorgeous keira turns 6 and I have quite the party planned for her. It sounded like such a good idea to have a home party for her but as it draws closer and I have so many jobs to do I’m having […]
{Keep Reading...}who needs plain tees and onesies?
May 24, 2012 By 7 Comments
A very lovely blogger and crafter recently let me know that she was selling her tees and onesies and would I like a few. Of course I would! At the moment the only sewing I can get done is quick and easy. And nothing is quicker or easier than a little appliqued onesie or t-shirt. […]
