RECIPE || Red Velvet cake

27/11/202127/11/2021

Hello friends, 

Thanks for calling in. I’m so happy you have joined me. I’d love you to say hello and tell me a bit about yourself, so drop me a line in the comments.

How has your week been? Thankfully mine was better than last week although we still have one sick little lamb at home in the fold, and I also made one late night trip to the hospital with another. The good news is that all the girls are now taking turns cooking dinner one night a week! Yippee! And when you have five daughters at home, plus a culinary son living next door, that means I only have to cook one night a week!!! (and the heavens roared!!) Toasties anyone?!

RECIPE || Spicy Chai Caramel Cake

13/11/2021

Well hello there dear ones! 

I am so happy to be back. It feels like an age, but it’s only been two weeks since I’ve been able to sit and chat with you guys. I’ve really missed blogging. Right here is the place where I I feel I have a voice and can be myself. Without sounding overly  dramatic, I love that I get to come here as Anna, not only as wife or mama. I get to share my dreams and unleash those burning creative ideas. Getting time alone to write in such a busy household is in itself akin to Mission Impossible.

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!)

RECIPE || Best ever Chocolate & Peanut butter cake

07/10/201715/09/2019

Good morning dear ones, how’s life in your neck of the woods? We had our first rain in three months this week, which was like nectar from heaven.  Apart from the obvious benefits to a thirsty garden, I just love rainy days in the holidays as they give you an excuse to stay indoors and bake, read, stitch, eat, watch a movie or just sit and take things easy for a bit. It’s like you have universal permission to blob on the lounge and just breathe,  without the guilt. I like that.  Sometimes life needs to slow down a little.

🌸 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 🧡

🧡💛🤎 Hello Lovelies. It’s sooo nice to b 🧡💛🤎 Hello Lovelies. It’s sooo nice to be back. I have been MIA for quite a while but things are looking up and I have some exciting news to share. 

I am delighted to announce that I am joining a team of very talented women, collaborators of the Mum Hub Collective market who seek to support mothers suffering from PND. 

The next boutique market will be held in the Lennox Head Community Hall on Sunday April 10th. 

I will have my gorgeous 1960’s Danish glove counter filled to the brim with delicious cupcakes, decorative cookies and boxed treats. If any of you have wanted to taste Mama Bear’s cupcakes, then now is your chance! I’d really love to meet you. 🤎

Check out the talented stall holders who create beautifully boho mama and baby products. @mumhubcollective @little_marquetta

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
