Making toddler meals can be a tiring process. I often find myself out of ideas for interesting and healthy foods, that are still easy to whip up. These oat banana toddler pancakes are now one of our go to breakfasts (with leftovers for snacks). Using a blender, like the Baby Bullet, helps turn raw oats…

Pom-Pom Wall Hanging // DIY
Decorating a home can be hard work (and down right expensive)! We’ve lived in our home for five years now, yet still the only properly decorated room is Bub’s room. If only looking at Pinterest would automatically turn my house into the home of my dreams! That being said, a home is primarily a place…

Piggy Bank // DIY
When it comes to money, I work much better if I have a solid goal in mind! While I was studying there was some prize money up for grabs for various achievements. Since studying for exams isn’t much fun, I used the idea of being able to use prize money to buy myself an iPad…

Banana Bread Recipe
Banana bread is one of my favourite baked goods. If it’s a nice one that is! Sometimes they can be so dry and flavourless. But I assure you, not this one! It’s just the right moistness, heavy enough to be filling and oh so flavourful. Walnuts add a little crunch and if eaten while still…
Your favourite children’s books
I have a love hate relationship with the children’s section at the bookshop. There seem to be so many good options that it can actually just be overwhelming! Undoubtedly I’ll want to leave with more than my bank account intended. Last week, in an effort to make it less overwhelming, I asked you for some…
