Dear Ethan, I actually cannot believe I am sitting down to write your THIRD birthday later (and shortly I will be writing your brother's 9 month letter too). Honestly this past year with you has been amazing; you have grown from a toddler who couldn't put more than a couple of words together to speaking in full sentences, being potty trained and moving...

One thing I love about the age Ethan is now (he's 3 in March) is that I can get him involved in the kitchen. He loves baking with me and I adore passing on my love of baking and cooking with him. I've been thinking of how I can evolve this blog as my life changes and even though it's been a tad...

Dear Dylan, I need to start this letter off with an apology. This is your 6 month update but at 7 months I am now only finding the time to write it now. Time really does go so much faster with a second baby and I cannot believe that in a couple of months I will be back at work. 6 months -...

Decorating a cake is my favourite part of the whole cake making process but with two little ones (especially a baby who thinks sleep is for the weak) means I don't always have the time or the energy to bake the way I used to. A few weeks ago the folks at Nude Cakes got in touch and asked me would I like...

I've been lucky enough to review all sorts since I started blogging but when Prestige Hampers got in touch to review one of their luxury Christmas hampers I couldn't believe my luck. The hamper arrived at the perfect time. Dylan had had his 16 week jabs a few days earlier and therefore was really grizzly all week both day and night. I was...

  I’ve another toddler friendly Halloween baking recipe to share with you all in preparation for next week. It’s actually a spin on these chocolate mushrooms that I made years ago but with a Halloween twist. They are ideal for little hands and it doesn’t matter if they are wonky as it just adds to the charm. Warning though – these are seriously moreish, and...

As Ethan is getting older my favourite thing to do with him is to involve him in baking and cooking. It keeps him out of mischief and he's learning about food while I get some quality time with my biggest boy. He's only 2 so his attention span isn't great and any baking we do needs to be quick and easy otherwise he...

Apologies! I fully intended to get this recipe typed up yesterday and published this morning but a certain baby of mine decided that all week sleep is for the weak therefore I could barely think straight never mind write a blog post. So, both boys are napping (win!) and I'm taking the opportunity to quickly type up the last recipe in my Biscoff...

To celebrate Biscoff week on the old blog I've got another amazing recipe to share with you - Biscoff Brownies! Brownies are by far my most favourite thing to bake and I've made all sorts of varieties from Malteser, to Crunchie to Cookie Dough and so much more. They are such a versatile little traybake and I love how you can turn a...

Salted Caramel used to be my addiction but now it's all about the Lotus Biscoff Spread. I mean, seriously, that stuff I could happily eat out of the jar, it's just heaven! While I was going through my drafts and food photos I realised I had 3 recipes that I had yet to share which are all Biscoff related so I've decided to...

Life is busy and it's true what they say - the more children you have, the faster time seems to whizz by. I had all of these grand plans for my blog for maternity leave but Dylan is now over 3 months old and it's only now that I'm finding time to start a routine with blogging and vlogging. Tuesday is Ethan's nursery...

Dear Dylan, I can't believe I'm sitting down to write your 3 month letter, it seems like no time at all since I was doing the same for Ethan. I prefer doing these letters every 3 months rather than monthly but it's also a stark reminder of how fast time really does go. I remember when you were born looking forward to having...
