As I am sure you are aware of by now, Sebastian and I love getting creative and most of our afternoons involve an invitation to play of some description. Fairly often that involves 'messy play'. Recently, painting has become a firm favourite and most requested activity (ever since we got to review this fun box of goodies here). The thing with painting, well there are two things really.. one, they have to dry somewhere and two, they take up so much space. So far so good, we … [Read more...]

Grown Ups Go Free with Kellogg’s
Did you know the best start to your day is breakfast? Did you know Kellogg's have been setting families up for the best start to their day for over 100 years?

Now there was nothing wrong with these … [Read more...]

Since we were celebrating with a Thomas Party, it seemed fitting to make a Thomas cake. Of course two parties called for two cakes (told you I was a little crazy!). I … [Read more...]
A Simple Butter Cake
Happy Wednesday! As promised yesterday, today I am sharing my (very close) second favourite cake recipe with you. A little bit different to yesterday's Chocoholic Choccie Cake but still every bit as good in its own right. Today's cake is a simple 'Butter Cake'. Personally I think this butter cake is delicious! It is denser than a sponge cake yet, lighter and fluffier than a meidra cake. It has a subtle buttery flavour which is (as it suggests) not over powering, allowing for fancy icing / … [Read more...]
