July Bake It! Club

29 July 2010

Roll call! So, who has managed a bit of baking this month? I only gave you a couple of weeks this month to get baking so I hope I gave you enough time. I have already seen some yummy looking lemon squares on some blogs but I’m hoping to see lots more! Don’t forget to add ...

The Gallery – Nature

27 July 2010

The girls and I just love to be outdoors. The first thing I do every morning is rush round opening all the curtains and windows to let the outside in, and the girls always ask to go and play outside. Being outside lifts our spirits and gives the girls so much freedom to run around ...

Royal Icing flowers

20 July 2010

This is a sponsored post A while a go I received some different types of sugar from Tate & Lyle to try out when I was baking so I’m back with an update. I baked my cakes with the caster sugar and they were just as delicious as usual. If anything I would say that ...

Upcycled floor cushion

A couple of weeks later a huge parcel arrived packed with fabulous goodies for the children, including stickers, outdoor toys and a ...

Summer strawberry cupcakes

10 July 2010

I love all the fruit that is around this time of year and strawberries are my absolute favourite. I’ve wanted to try these cupcakes for a while so when I saw English Mum was hosting a Big Bakeoff, I thought I’d use them as my entry. These are vanilla cupcakes with a fresh strawberry in ...

Funky chicken dress

09 July 2010

It caused a bit of confusion on twitter when I said I was making a funky chicken dress! We called it that in our house because of the fabric, obviously! I couldn’t resist all the pretty, brightly coloured chickens but only bought a little bit – just enough to make a simple dress. This ...

How to make a window sticker

07 July 2010

I am always on the look out for new crafts to try with the children so I was excited to try this idea out (can’t remember where I saw it!). It is so simple but very effective and can easily be adapted for different ages. You will need: PVA glue Paint brush Coloured tissue paper ...

CyberMummy 2010

06 July 2010

It is not normal to get up at 5:45am on a Saturday morning but that is what I had to do to get ready to go to CyberMummy 2010! I was very lucky that I had my ticket bought for me by Fabulous Savings and Kat from Housewife Confidential offered me a lift, so I ...
