With little man N’s Naming Day theme being rainbow and a rainbow featuring on his main cake, I had my thinking cap on for some kind of rainbow themed cupcakes to go with it which can easily be made in my kitchen with the latest appliances and utensils. You don’t even need a piping nozzle for this and it’s okay for it to look a bit messy. They also feature a fab retro sweet! Perfect for any rainbow themed party. Ingredients (makes 12) Cupcakes 150 g butter 150 g caster sugar 150 g self raising flour 3 eggs 1 tsp vanilla …
Little man N at 8 months old
I can’t believe N is 8 months old (though I’m a little bit late with this update – blogging hasn’t been at the forefront for me recently). Two-thirds of a year! After Christmas I’ll have to start thinking about his 1st birthday! Time must slow down for a few months now. I haven’t been to baby clinic for a while for various reasons so I’m not sure how much he weighs (I could have weighed him on our scales but I’ve not gotten around to it yet). I’m guessing it’s somewhere around the 25 lb mark though, going by his …

You see things, hear things, from people you thought were good friends. Banter between people. One of them who you have already lost trust in, anyway. It could be innocent, …
Recipe – Bubblegum Angel Delight cheesecake #AngelDelightMoments
Angel Delight. Such a great memory from childhood. Simple, but great. I think it must have been a staple dessert for many a child since it first appeared in 1967. It’s quick, easy, bubbly, and tasty – so what’s not to love about it?! Never mind enjoying it during childhood – there has been more than once that I’ve eaten it in my adult life too. It’s just one of those desserts that you can never get bored of and want to pass the memories to your children. The newest flavour is Bubblegum, and when it arrived I was thinking …
We’re going back to the start…
You may have seen last week that I had a huge breakdown and have fallen into the big black hole again. Where you just can’t see the future in front of you. Sometimes you don’t want to see the future in front of you. Sounds harsh, but sometimes it’s oh so true – that’s what it does to you. Anyway, I digress. After the breakdown, we saw it was a cry for help and I made a doctors appointment. I knew what I was going for, and that was anti-depressants. I was adamant that I wanted them, and when she asked …
