Good morning sweet friends. Are you enjoying this much needed rain and cooler days in your neck of the woods?

Last week I tried my hand at this delicious Raw Vegan Fudge from Minimalist… Read More
Last weekend we headed to the city for our darling granddaughter’s 1st birthday. Oh my heart, she is such a joy. Miss Miriam is one special little girl with five doting aunties meeting her every whim. It’s delightful watching bubby interact more with them now that she is getting older. You can read my thoughts… Read More
Good morning dear ones. I have been looking forward to sharing this photo shoot with you for a very long time. It literally grew out of the ashes of a dangerous bush fire near our local beach village in the peak of a stifling Summer last January. The flames came perilously close to homes, although… Read More
