Orchids



I don't know how my mother does it but she can grow anything all year round, I truely admire her dark green fingers. As you I only have green finger tips and it will take alot more practise for me to get them as green as hers

Yoyo biscuits


These take me back.... I've had this recipe in "the book" for sometime now but like many things on my baking wish list they have taken a back seat to life in general.

Tonight the boys are out at Starjam and I'm home alone, I needed to make something for the boys morning or afternoon tea but didn't want to spend all night on them.

And now that Aiko isn't spending the day with Al tomorrow I'm gonna take the smallest one over for her lunch box tomorrow.

Team Aiko - Crew Member


These tags were sort after by many on the day. The wearer (we joked) would have unlimited access to the kitchen, broom closet and the toilets...lol.

Aiko's 1st Birthday cake



Never again...lol. I had this brilliant idea my sister and I would be Ace of Cakes for a day. A "supposedly" 45min job turned into a 2hour job - minimum. There were lot's of confused looks before during and after this process but we're pretty pleased with the results. AND no we are not going into the cake decorating business, we will leave that up to the experts but needless to say we'll try anything ONCE.....

If you wondering why a Turtle cake, it's because when she cries she looks just like a turtle.
