I’m Lydia ~ a hopeless romantic, lover of all things girly, wife to Steve; Stay at Home Mummy to 2 1/2 year old Sebastian and 5 month old Isabelle

Always Made With Love is a Family, Food and Lifestyle blog. It’s my favourite little corner of the internet – a space where you will find me sharing my loves; trials and triumphs; my successes and also my failures (cause let’s be honest – there is bound to be some of them along the way).

A place where you will find recipes I love; DIY projects and crafts; fabulous finds; favourite things; my experiences and journey through this thing called motherhood life; fun things for babies and toddlers; our daily life and my little family.

I love cooking, baking, reading, the sand between my toes, spending time with my family and friends, travelling, good food and even better wine, the sound of the rain on the roof, the glow of flickering candles, the feeling of being cuddle up under a blanket when it’s cold outside, long summer days and even longer summer nights, fresh flowers, yoga, easy listening music, the excitement of what the future holds and (of course) my little family. Let’s not forget chocolate, strawberries, coffee, cheese, chippies and ice cream (not necessarily in that order)!

 So, grab a cuppa (or a glass of wine), sit down, stay a while and enjoy
