After knitting a duplicate of my gorgeous rainbow scarf and sending it off to a very special friend, I felt, as I always do - almost like the feeling of finishing a very good book- rather empty and I was

This beautiful ukulele arrived via courier just the other day. It was in time for some very painful anniversaries but also brought me so much joy amongst the tears. My uncle Barry was talking about this

It wa a dark cold wintery night

Hello, my fellow Busy Bees! I assure you there is no need to send out a search party. I promise I did not drown in my knitting or in a cake (although I have been busy with both!), but this is probably

This is absolutely the post that I have been waiting for! Santorini is this epic, magical, so typically Greek touristy island that it’s almost a cliche. Our ship, the Norwegian Getaway, docked in the bay

Hehehehehehehehe. I had to bribe @zakludick to be my knitting model for this one! Look how far I've gotten with my latest scarf, though! Knitting these scarves started out as a "last-ditch" attempt

Breakfast of Champions! Lol! How incredibly lucky I am to be surrounded by so much love... It is so easy to forget what treasure you have when you get caught up in the stresses of everyday life. It's work,

I freaking love Easter. The smell of hot cross buns releases something truly ferral in me! In fact, every year, I do a hot cross bun hunt to see which one of our local bakeries gets the vote for being

The last 6 months have been absolutely batshit. With a new job, for which I am extremely grateful, to uggling paperwork for admission to high school for our youngest child, @matthew-williams, both my mother

WHOOPS! Where oh where did the time go? My apologies for my tardiness! good heavens, I have a lot to catch up on! Being a mom of three at the end of the 1st term of the South African School year preparing

I happen to have tripped and fallen into a world I thought I had left behind a long time ago. I have befriended a young human, almost 18 years old. This human, who shall remain unnamed, has sparked so

Source I don't know, I guess it's the way I was made... a blessing or a curse, that when I love someone, anyone, friends...family...ex lovers... I have never been able to let people go. Even of people

Aaaaahahahahahaha, so we definitely had more fun decorating the cake than we did baking it! That's for sure! A good couple of learning curves here too though.... eeek? So pro-tip, when adding gel food
