Goodbye Three
Today is Little Miss’ last day as a three year old. Tomorrow it’s her 4th birthday. To me, four seems so much older than three. Last year when she went from two to three it didn’t feel like as a big a step. Three still feels like a baby age, or at least a toddler age. But lets face it, four is a big step. At four she’s going to start big school, and wear a uniform and be away from me 6 hours a day for 5 days a week. And I’m dreading it. I’m not ready for that baby stage to be over with in case I never…

In Retrospect – Three
Little Miss turned three two weeks ago. I can’t believe two weeks has passed already, but they have been a mentally exhausting two weeks, which is why I’m only up to posting this now. Despite everything that happened, Little Miss had a perfect birthday, a birthday fit for the princess she is. There was cake, laughter and love, everything a little three year old needed. Rather than being an incredibly wordy post which is what I normally go for in celebration of my daughter being another year older, I’m going to share photos from our two days of celebrating. This year no letter, no round up of how she’s grown…

My Eight Favourite Toys for 0-2 Year Olds
LINKS REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE My daughter has a lot of toys, in fact.. that’s probably the understatement of the century. And yes, a lot of these are pink, but that’s because pink is her favourite colour. I am not one of these who sees toys as girls toys and boys toys, I tend to buy my daughter things I know she will enjoy. However saying that, I also see nothing wrong with girls liking pink and dolls, and princesses.. I like pink and dolls and princesses so I see that more as a reason why my daughter does not because I’ve forced her to be like…

Summer Recipes with Baking Mad
The other week I was sent a hamper of goodies c/o Baking Mad which was actually perfect timing as it was my sister’s birthday the following week. I am the chief cake baker in the family and I always try to do something different for each birthday. My dad had chocolate and salted caramel, my mum had sponge and fresh berries and for my sister, since her birthday is in July, I’d planned on making her an ice cream themed cake! I don’t have a recipe to share with you all since to achieve my ice cream masterpiece I actually mashed together quite a few recipes from Baking Mad’s summer…

Happy Birthday Mum
Today is my mum’s birthday, and I didn’t want the day to go by without a shoutout to her. She is the most amazing woman before and I know i’ve mentioned this many times in other such posts, but she is my inspiration to be the mother I am. She has dedicated her whole life to her family, from when she was a child and lived at home with her parents and four siblings, to when she married my dad and raised my sister and I. And now she’s a wonderful grandmother to my daughter. She also looks after children in a pre-school that she is head of. She is…

Murder On Board The Titanic
This post is now a month in the making, I apologise Bee, it was one of my favourite nights of the year so far so it deserved to be blogged about sooner! Anyway, today’s post is mainly about food and fun. Eight courses worth of food and cake, the best birthday cake i’ve ever received in my life, and the person I have to thank for it all, is the best best friend a girl could want. If you don’t follow her blog Journeys Are My Diary yet, you bloody well should! So last month saw my twenty six birthday, and since my twenty fifth and twenty forth birthdays were…
