A couple of weeks ago my hubby Steve celebrated his birthday. It wasn't just any birthday it was the big 4-0! And like any good birthday celebrations, there was cake. Not just any cake either, Red Velvet Cake (his favourite). I had been toying with the idea of making an 'Anti Gravity Cake' for a while now, but as you can see.. it is not exactly the type of cake you just whip up and serve for afternoon tea. So thanks to Steve, I now had the perfect excuse occasion for which … [Read more...]
Under the Sea ~ Paper Plate Crafts
Winter is here and the school holidays are upon us once again. I have to admit, I actually quite like the school holidays (even though Sebastian isn't at school yet) because it’s a break from our usual activities.

Mother's Day the day to treat your Mum; show her how much you care and how much she truly means to you. With two littlies in the house this year, getting out to the shops is a bit of a monumental task in-between feed time, sleep time, … [Read more...]
Rose Petal Sugar Scrub
Now I can't speak for all mum's; but I am sure I certainly speak for some when I say that handmade gifts mean so much more than those which cost lots of money. I would far rather a handmade card (read: scribble); and a bunch of freshly picked flowers (read: weeds) than gifts which cost the earth. These come from the heart and the meaning behind them is far more important than dollar value placed on them. Since having children I have become increasingly aware of products I use, preferring to use … [Read more...]
