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 || 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 || Raw Chocolate & Peanut Butter Fudge {from minimalistbaker.com}

18/08/201819/07/2019

Hello sweet friends. How was your week? I have been enjoying making delicious raw food treats for a change. While I am definitely a cake and cupcake girl at heart, at home we eat healthier treats and I am no stranger to raw food. Last week I tried my hand at this delicious Raw Vegan Fudge from Minimalist Baker. WOW! It was amazing. I wonder if any of you made it?

RECIPE || Raw Vegan Fudge {from minimalistbaker.com}

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 on becoming a grandmother for the first time and check out the woodland baby shower I created here.

Candied Pears

14/07/201815/09/2019

Hello lovely ones. How’s things? Thankfully life settled down for us this past week. Our dear young people have gone home and with two of our girls away at camp, we downsized for a few days, enjoying a well earned rest. Not for long though, as I am hosting a tea party for 34 ladies next weekend in a local country hall. It will be a delightfully vintage affair and I can’t wait to show you a few pieces I have been working on, particularly a hand sewn backdrop made from embroidered linen, vintage tablecloths and doilies.

🌸 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
