Cookies, cookies and more cookies

You would have thought that by getting unlimited wifi at home my blogging might have increased.  As you can probably tell, that did not happen.  I have realised that I don’t do internet at home.  When I am at home and Little OL is awake then I will spend the time playing with her.  If [...]

More Teddy Bear’s Picnic photos

In addition to my first set of photos, here are some more.           All in all I was very happy with the way everything turned out.  I made almost everything, including the cake stand that the cookies are standing on… yip you read that correctly.  I will share details shortly.   

Teddy Bear’s Picnic

My baby turned 2 this weekend and we had a Teddy Bear’s Picnic party for her. I am really happy with how it all turned out and am especialy proud of the cake.  Here are a few photos (ok, lots of photos)      

I cannot believe my daughter turns 2 this month.  Time really has flown.     Over the past two years she has grown from a tiny little baby to a very independent little toddler.  She does not like me to do anything for her. This includes dressing her, brushing her teeth and hair or feeding [...]

Reasons to feel good

On the radio they had a call in section where people had to call in and say why they feel good.  I am going to list my reasons here. My gorgeous little girl has started giving squeeze cuddles.  LOVE them. And running up to me to give me kisses – awwwww Its 20 minutes till [...]

Advent Calendar

This year I decided to do an advent calendar for Little OL.  I am not sure if she will understand it or not, but worth a shot.  After scouring every corner of the internet (pintrest) I saw the idea of using wage packets on Harassed Mom’s site – what a brilliant idea. In fact I [...]

Sugar High!

I have been pretty strict about what Little OL eats.  She has never really had chocolate or sweets and even at her first birthday party when I had them in the party packs she was not given them.  Wicked mommy I know. She had her first cupcake a last weekend and a marshmallow a while [...]

Something new

So I decided to try something different with my iced sugar cookies – to paint them!  I have seen it around and thought I would give it a try.  We have our art class end of year party this weekend – our theme was Berthe Morisot. I did not enjoy it and they did not [...]

A few more biscuits

One of my friends asked me to make some biscuits for her daughter’s first birthday party – it was ladybird themed.  I jumped at the chance – anything to be able to make the biscuits but then not to have to worry about eating them. Although the party was a Ladybird theme, she was not [...]

When I have kids I will NEVER….

“My daughter is NEVER going to the Spur. She is going to learn the value of going to a good restaurant, sitting properly and savouring the feelings that come with good food.” Yip, that lasted until she was 18months and 5 days old.  I took her to the Spur yesterday… And I have created a [...]
