It's official, Easter's less than a month away and if I was looking for a another reason (not that I need it) to get baking, this would be it. Seems like the perfect match if you ask me... I love baking + I love chocolate = (insert heart eyes emoji)! Easter truly would not be Easter if these babies didn't make an appearance. I have already whipped and eaten (not by myself!) the first of two possibly three batches of these cupcakes. They are some what of a … [Read more...]
Sebastian’s 2nd Birthday ~ A Thomas Party
Last weekend we celebrated Sebastian's second birthday, crazy how fast time flies. I still can not believe my baby is a big two year old.

It was really lovely to see how he reacted to the whole thing. Being a parent at Christmas is the BEST thing ever, far better than being a kid even. Especially when … [Read more...]
Sebastian’s 1st Birthday Cake Smash
On Sunday following Sebastian's birthday and party, we turned our lounge from party venue to studio for his DIY cake smash. I had seen lots of gorgeous ideas and photos via the lovely pinterest however liked the idea and ease of doing it at home - Steve has a decent camera and I felt it would be a more relaxed environment for Sebastian. I know you are probably thinking CRAZY (yes crazy in capitals) because of the mess factor.. And yes there was a little bit of mess and the sheet used for a … [Read more...]
