RECIPE || Black Tea, Honey & Thyme Cupcakes

23/10/2021

Good morning lovely friends.

How are you ? Whoosh! What a week! Hasn’t it flown by? I have been doing a lot of juggling this week. Kids coming and going and buzzing around home with their friends. It has been quite the social scene. I managed to sneak in a cup of coffee in town by myself earlier in the week, which helped keep my head above water. As an (excitable) introvert, my cup gets filled with solitude, time alone. It is probably the one thing I crave the most as a busy mother of many. How ironic that we chose to have a zillion children. (Yes, I do have the occasional chuckle over this).

RECIPE || Caramel Cupcakes

16/10/2021

Hello Lovelies. Thank you for joining me here this morning. Grab a cuppa and let’s have a chat.

How has your week been? Mine was pretty good. There was a Covid case at school so the girls spent most of the week at home. Thankfully there was no home learning so the pressure was off. Phew. Instead, I tried to teach them the virtues of housework and having pride in a tidy home. It was such a joy. Their eagerness to learn made our time together so delightful. Afterwards we sat down together and I read aloud while we all drank tea. Oh what a blessed sanctuary is our home.

RECIPE || Lemon & Raspberry Cupcakes

09/10/2021

Hey lovely friends. How’s things?

I hope you have all enjoyed your week. I know I said I would be sharing my cake road trip misadventures with you this week, but life got a bit busy so I will have to keep you in suspense a little bit longer.

In the meantime, I have the most delicious Lemon & Raspberry cupcake recipe to share with you.

RECIPE || Healthy Banana Bread (gluten free, refined sugar free)

02/10/2021

Hey friends, how are you all going?

Did you enjoy the school holidays with your kiddoes? I decided to take two of our birthday girls up the coast to a local resort for a few nights. We had the best room, right near the most amazing pool. I even brought my swimmers!! Anyone who knows me knows that one of my pet loathes is wearing swimwear so I rarely, if ever swim. I much prefer to be loaded up with a basket of books to read while my treasures swim. But this pool was sooo tempting that I boldly declared that yes! Mama Bear will swim!! Ha ha! (and the heavens roared!)

Motherhood Musings ~ Extreme Sports

18/09/2021

Hello lovely friends,

 How are you all going? I’ve had a great week. While I didn’t get any blog baking done, I made two delicious loaves of refined sugar free banana bread. (Would anyone like me to post the recipe?). They will keep the troops happy for a few days, even the gluten free – dairy free – vegan – Keto – Paleo – Daniel fasting – veggo – anti sugar – flexitarian meatatarians who dwell amongst us. 

No seriously, it’s a terrific recipe and can be easily adapted to alternate diets.

RECIPE || Bushwalker Biscuits

11/09/2021

Happy weekend Lovelies,

I hope you are enjoying the warmer weather and not being a cry baby like me wishing our winter would last a bit longer.  While I am not quite ready to embrace hot weather just yet, I am rejoicing in our newly acquired freedom to venture out and about as of today! The first thing I want to do is sneak away and go and sit in one of my favourite cafes in town all by myself with my journal. Bliss.

RECIPE || Red Wine Chocolate & Strawberry Cupcakes

04/09/2021

Hello Lovelies, 

How are you going? I hope you are all hanging in there with the continued lockdown. It’s been a bit of a topsy turvy ride for this mama bear, as it has for many others I imagine, but with amazing support from the school, realising and accepting my own limitations and taking some time out alone, I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and I think we might just make it through this with all of our sanity in tact!

The Adventures of an Earl Grey Brown Butter Cake

21/08/202121/08/2021

Hello friends,

Thank you for dropping in today. I hope you are all surviving lockdown ok.

What strange times we are living in. They almost seems surreal. Like all of you, I have been trying to find my ‘sea legs’ and steady myself enough to walk rather than stumble through all of these challenges. Currently, however, staying with the sea analogy, I’m more like the rookie sailor hurling his guts up over the side of the ship. Nice.

Vintage Ballet Party

14/08/202114/08/2021

  Hello friends,

Whoa! What a week! Lockdown has finally reached us, squeezing it’s gnarly grip around our neck and life has been all topsy turvy ever since. I take my hat off to you precious mamas who have been doing the ‘great juggle’ for many weeks already. I don’t know how on earth you aren’t going mad! Mind you, there are 12 people in our household (at last count! haha!) so that might have something to do with me going a little bit loopy!

Anyway…I have had enough of misery and mayhem and decided it’s time to escape into a wonderland of cake and twirling ballerinas, if only for a few moments. I have been sitting on this sweet vintage ballet party for over a year now. I was incredibly honoured to have it featured in Mingle Magazine, a prominent American party styling  mag.

🌸 It’s been a tough start to the year for man 🌸 It’s been a tough start to the year for many in our region and also personally. This week I was able to put the difficulties aside and unleash my creative heart in a collaboration with the lovely Mandy from @whitecottage_flowerfarm_  in Tenterfield, one of my all time favourite places. 

Mandy owns the most wonderful antique store which is a vintage lover’s dream. She is also an accomplished gardener, stylist and photographer whose Instagram feed looks like it’s full of still life paintings. 

Having beautiful props, billowing flowers and perfect Autumn light at our fingertips, we spent the morning styling and photographing my cake and cupcakes in her cottage. 

I have long dreamt of days like these, when I could spend unhurried time focussing solely on creating, even just for a few hours. This is what fills up my cup, allows me to exhale, breathe a little deeper and look a little higher amidst the clamour and chaos of keeping house and raising children. 

Beauty brings life and I hope you are inspired by this calming vignette. I am looking forward to sharing more mages, from both Mandy and myself over the coming days. 

Xx🌸

🌿 Turning 21 seems like a million years ago, bu 🌿 Turning 21 seems like a million years ago, but I can still remember how grown up I felt and excited I was about life! 

I was blessed with an incredibly happy childhood and even happier teenage years, a good foundation for my journey into adulthood. 

Oh how much water has rushed under the bridge since those carefree days. Some flowing in stillness and glorious calm, other waves turbulent, large and ominous. But mostly there has been that steady, consistent flow of the day to day,  making for a very fortunate life indeed.

🧡 Hello friends. It’s been a tough couple wee 🧡 Hello friends. It’s been a tough couple weeks in our region and to be honest, difficult to think about pretty baby cookies and blog posts with so much incomprehensible suffering and so many who have lost everything right on our doorstep. 

I am so proud of our community. The Aussie Spirit is alive and well and gives us hope that we are in this together and will recover. 

Through it all, we are still planning on the @mumhubcollective market in April. Pop over to the dear treasures Renee & Stevie @little_marquetta if you need any help with baby gear and support after these floods. 

For now, here are a few of the delightfully retro cookies I will be selling at the @lennoxculturalcentre2478 on Sunday 10th April, along with my delicious cupcakes. I hope to see you there x 🧡

I had so many grand plans for this week. Oh well. For now I will daydream about eating this wild concoction of an ‘Aussie Mess’ ( my sarcastic Australian nod to the Eton Mess) 🌺
Vanilla raspberry cupcake topped with vanilla buttercream, fresh whipped cream, raspberry meringue and whatever the heck else you want to pile on top!! 😉
Have a great week. Xx
