Regular readers will know that I have a real passion for baking and in particular, cake!
Nothing beats an afternoon cuppa and slice of cake and this delicious Mont Blanc Coconut Cake by Vanessa Bolosier is EVERYTHING.
Life can sometimes feel like a non-stop rollercoaster can't it, juggling family life, work as I/we try to be everything to everyone.
The last few months have seen me take time out more, to relax daily and prioritise on what really makes my family and I happy. I always say, happy parents, happy children.
People keep referring to me (kindly) as Superwoman (if only I looked that good in lycra-wait-a-minute who my kidding, I'd NEVER wear lycra) but truth be told, I'm asked quite a bit 'How do you do it?' so I thought I'd blog exactly how!
It seems that as soon as kids start school or preschool in my case, another holiday crops up and I'm responsible for the entertainment. I'm not sure we can have another week sponsored by Cbeebies after doing nothing but watch the box and nurse colds over Christmas, so in spite of the weather I'm hoping to get the boys out and about!
Guilty pleasures have taken somewhat of a back seat now I have two children but I do believe it's important to find 'you time' when you can amidst the madness of motherhood. When the baby sleeps and Oliver's at nursery, these are my fave ways to wind down and recharge the batteries.
