Last week our precious princess turned FIVE! For about 10 months she was set on a kitty party, but when we started planning she switched to “princess and prince”, so that’s what she got. It was lots of fun to put together. Naturally we DIY’d most of it, so read on to find all the…

2 birthday cake topper // DIY
A few weeks ago our littlest turned two, with a lovely construction themed party with our family. I made him this simple 2 cake topper from gold cardstock. It was just the right amount of glitz and simplicity. You can find the rest of the construction party here, as well as how we made the…
Construction Party // DIY
A few weeks ago our digger obsessed boy turned two. It was good timing as they’ve been busy digging up the road around my parents house, meaning he’s had lots of digger watching fun. A construction party theme, while being much more yellow than I’m used to, was actually really fun and easy to put…

Cream Cheese Icing // recipe
On Monday I decided to try a cream cheese icing since we had some cream cheese in the fridge. I had also tried a new chocolate cupcake recipe. They came out nice, but not amazing. So, I decided that I’d just share the Icing recipe so long. It was really easy and has a soft…
Moist Vanilla Cupcakes // recipe
This makes a lovely light, moist cupcake with a creamy vanilla flavour. I have always avoided cupcakes with buttermilk, since we don’t often have it in the house, but after having a cupful left over after another recipe, I will now go buy buttermilk just to make these cupcakes. 1 1/3 cups flour1 tsp baking…
