Motherhood Musings: Life in the slow lane

20/11/2021

Hello my dear ones,

It is wonderful to be here with you. Grab a cuppa, find a secret place and run away with me for a few minutes. 

Whoa! What a week. I hardly know where to begin. It was one of those delightful times when any idealistic version of motherhood is thrown out the window and you are striving with every force inside you not to turn into a monster and sell your children to the nice little old lady with a house made of sweets.

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.

Cake Vigilante {Part Three}

24/07/202114/08/2021

Good morning lovelies. 

It really is a treat to be here today. Thank you so much for stopping by.

As I write this post, reflecting on these beautiful images of something as simple as a decorated cake, I remember one of the happiest days I have had this year. These images are a labour of love, an expression of my idea of beauty. They bring me so much joy and as I mentioned in my last post, have ignited within me an adventurous spark and longing to explore my own backyard (and hopefully further afield) with a cake and a camera in my hands (but not at the same time! Ha).

Oh what a glorious blustery day! I hope you all had a great week and have just poured a fresh cup of tea, ready to settle in for a wee chat. My heart goes out to those who are in lockdown at the moment. I hope this post provides a few moments pleasant diversion for you.

Cake Vigilante {Part One}

10/07/202114/08/2021

Hello Lovelies! Thanks for visiting today. I am so happy to be here. This is a post I have been quite excited about sharing.  If you have been hanging out with me over on Instagram you would have heard me talk of a recent road trip I went on with one of my cakes. Yes, that’s cake, not kids! Sounds a bit crazy I know, but it was something I have wanted to do for years.

RECIPE || Pina Colada Cupcakes

03/07/202106/07/2021

Hello Lovelies, how has your week been? Another topsy turvy one with Covid wreaking havoc once again. We had our daughter’s 18th planned for today, but needed to cancel as most of her friends were coming from Sydney. As it turns out, we are enjoying glorious rain this weekend anyway, so in a word phew! Not the best weekend for a party as it turns out.

Sweet Noah

26/06/202114/08/2021

Hello friends,

It’s so nice to be back here with you. I want to thank you for all of the love and support you showed as we remembered our sweet heavenly son Noah this month. I was really touched by your kindness and comments. It might not seem like much, but those small acts of reaching out in love and compassion make all the difference in the lonely, lifelong journey of grief.

🌸 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
