Canberra at Easter

For the last three Easters (excluding the one just gone) We go up to Canberra to hang out with some near and dear friends. Issy and Boncie love hanging out together and are so sweet together.

Where to Hide the Chocolate?? Any Ideas??

Last Easter I hid the chocolate in Boncie's bedroom - would you believe that Poodle crept in during the night one night and got the chocolate out of Boncie's wardrobe!! Okay, so where to hide the chocolate now I ask??

Immy Comes to Play

More of my cakes and things I have created

Happy 30th Birthday Matthew, oh and a Monty Python-esq hand creeping in to sneak some icing......wonder who that could be! Oh and how about the product placing......hmmmm perhaps Coke would pay Moi royalties?
This was one of my creations - Moi B'day Cake......

So this is not one of my creations, but it's one of Boncie's creations - apparently this is a picture of Moi!!!!


Meow also appreciates my creation :-)

I Can't Live Without..............



First and foremost, can't live without Moi Famille





Nigella Lawson's measuring cups, okay so a little extravagent compared with the plastic variety one can purchase, but I just love my baking so I like to invest in special






Loveeeeee my baby pink Kitchen Aid mixer - I use this baby every other day, nauturally being a baker we are best of friends! Oh and I love Tupperware, Poodle is constantly saying we have too much of it but my fellow Tupperware lovers would disagree and say one can never have enough of the stuff!



My LeCreuset French Oven - cook it in most day's.







My Boncie's Art Work

Hello Mama - I love shopping with you xx
Boncie loves his bubba and her pram




Here is Boncie eating those choc diamonds I mentioned earlier on








My Nan knitted and loved it. I learnt how to knit from her many moons ago and I love it also!! She knitted all sorts of goodies for the Red Cross and donated them to them to sale for charity. When she died I acquired the two banana’s in PJ’s. When Boncie was born I gave them to him and he LOVES them, they are his equivalent to a security blanket. The whole family is thrilled that his fave. thing is something Nan made. She would have loved her Great Grandson and it’s a shame she never got to meet him.

Happy Second Birthday Boncie

When I asked Boncie, 'What cake would you like for your B'day' he replied, 'Neck Mama, Neck' - so here is my neck cake!! Boncie enjoyed eating all of the choc diamonds off the back of the neck cake!

Boncie loves being in Pa's workshop and sitting up on the bench going through all the draws of bits and bobs! Here he is in his trilbey look a like hat!

All Aboard


Train Spotter!! This little man loves nothing more than a ride on a Connex train or toot toot as he calls ‘em. Perhaps he should work on the marketing team for Connex, given so many commuters do not share the same passion in boarding their trains!!

Can I crush up an Asprin?


We were recently at Boncie’s adorable GGPUPS’ (Great Granddad Pups) (my Granddad AKA Pups) place. Boncie was teething and grizzly as you would be!! Pups ran off inside as he could see Boncie was grizzly given he was teething, he returned with a crushed up Asprin for him and handed it to me to give to him to help sooth his pain from teething LOL.
I have been wanting to create a blog for soooo long and have been creating bits and pieces in a Word doc., so I have it all saved and written down. So this this is my first post and there will be many posts of various events/occasions and stuff I want to share that have occurred through out the year's - but once I am up to date on all I want to say and share I will post once a week, here and there, so stick with me through the journey - while I bring you up to speed on things, in a flash.
