As a new mum the last thing on my mind was how to lose weight. I don’t know about you but between feeds, nappy changes, baby health issues, lack of sleep and everything else that comes with a new baby, I was happy to just get into bed at night and fall straight to sleep. Fast forward almost 5 years and my youngest baby is now 18 months! 2 pregancies, lack of exercise & unhealthy eating habits have definitely taken it’s toll. I admit, like alot of mums, I have a bit of baby weight to lose. The funny thing is though, it’s not the extra weight that bothers me. …

Chicken & Corn Cupcakes with Sriracha Frosting
It all started with a mince & cheese styled birthday cake. It didn’t have mince or cheese in it, wasn’t a pie & was definitely a cake 🙂 I’ve always enjoyed making & styling cakes, and for as long as we’ve been married I’ve almost always done a different cake for DH. From pac-man to pies, it’s always been a sweet treat. This year, however, DH issued me a challenge without actually thinking he had 😛 He happened to mention, at some point before his birthday, that he’d never seen anyone do savoury cupcakes with icing/frosting. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED said my brain 😛 Timing, however, wasn’t on his side. With his…

What this Mum really wants for Valentine’s Day
DH & I have never really been big on Valentine’s Day & we’ve been together (counts in head) 16 Valentine’s Days. So sitting here on the day before Valentines, I’m not expecting anything different than any other day. Which, to be honest, is almost exactly what I want 🙂 I say almost, as like most mums I know, the following in no particular order would not go amiss: A sleep in – I’m not a morning person, AT ALL, and if you count the almost 9 months I was pregnant with master 4, I’ve had more early mornings than I like. Peace (& Quiet) – World peace would be great,…

Easy Dairy Free Scones
I’ll start off by saying I’m TERRIBLE at making plain scones. My previous attempts could, and should, have been classed as weapons or doorstops ; that’s how hard they were. I’ve been told it’s probably because I mix them too much, but I’m never sure how much is TOO much? I mean all the flour does need to be mixed in properly right? Anyway, it doesn’t really matter any more as these scones are SO easy to make! There’s no cutting of butter (cos there isn’t any) and not much chance of over mixing. PLUS, it’s dairy free, egg-free & sugar-free!! Which is great for me because I don’t have…

20 Facts about Me
Anyone else notice how fast time goes when you’re an adult? When you’re a kid, all you want to do is be older, but time seems to go so slowly. As an adult you blink and you might miss something. Can you believe one month out of a year has almost gone past? Where did the time go? Oh yeah, feeding, bathing, entertaining 2 kids under 5 lol. Not long till I can’t say that anymore – 2 kids under 5. The way this year is already flying past I’ll have a 5 year old in no time 🙁 Before the whole year passes, I thought it’s probably an idea…
