For someone who likes bread, I don't actually make it very often. My husband loves to make bread so quite often I let him make it for me instead haha! But when it comes to making things look pretty and also taste delicious, well that is my realm. I am very good at making things look pretty. This garden focaccia is delicious and looks so pretty too. The bread is really simple to make and it's a good one for kids becau[...]
It's been a while since I shared the books I've listened to. So I thought I would share them below and give a quick round-up of what I thought. It's taken me a long time to come to terms with the fact that I am just not a reader. Sitting down and reading a book just doesn't appeal to my brain at all. But stick me outside on a walk and give me some headphones and I am well away. I can comfortably admit I have listened[...]
I'm not sure what it is about Spring that makes me want all the edible flowers but it just does! They just look so pretty. And it's such a simple way to take a basic cake and make it look spectacular. Supermarkets are starting to stock fresh edible flowers which is amazing, they are super affordable too. Unfortunately, our supermarkets don't, boo! But I found a great supplier last year who specialises in dried ed[...]
Walk Here I go again banging on about how much I love walking and how good it is for us, but it's so true. Throughout November and December when I was really busy with work I ran maybe three times in total those months. But I kept up with walking as much as I could. Most days I hit 10k steps still and throughout that time I still lost weight and gained fitness. It's so simple but so good for you. Stick on some music[...]
And no Kirsty, it's not giving up avocados (I'm not really a fan of them) or stopping our Netflix account! I guess before I go fully into how we intend to buy a house I should give a little back story. We moved into our first rental aged 20 and 22. We made a grand total of £1,500 - £1,700 on a good month and we had 0 savings, we just scraped by. We then started saving any extra we had for our wedding, while wedding[...]
Easy biscuit decorating, Valentine's Day style. It's not a seasonal event without my trusty digestives and icing. This time I decided cookie cards would be a great idea. Because who doesn't love a pun and a decorated biscuit! I used this clever wooden stamp set AD AFF. And you bet you're going to see it more often! A great one for kids to get involved with too! Which ones are your favourite? I love the little[...]
