Feeling so blessed

Yesterday my wonderful mummy friends surprised me by hosting a baby shower for me.. It was definitely unexpected and hubby did a fantastic job of keeping me in the dark by telling me for weeks that his colleague was organising a lunch catch up sometime..

I definitely feel so blessed to have met such a fantastic bunch of women who support and encourage each other..

Vanilla Cupcake Mix - dairy & gluten free..

I purchased this pack of "Yes You Can" dairy and gluten free vanilla cupcake mix a while ago and thought I'd give them a try last week..


All of the additional ingredients required for the cupcakes can be found in the pantry or fridge at home, so it was just a matter of following the instructions and waiting for them to cook.. Although, rather than using an electric mixer to combine everything, I just used a metal spoon..

As you can see in the photo below, we couldn't wait to ice them all completely before giving them a try.. They turned out to be soft, fluffy and delicious..



Father's Day

Last Sunday (2nd September) was Father's Day..

I made Brian this card from Lucas for Father's Day last week.. The photos just crack me up.. Lucas did his part helped by decorating the wrapping paper for the present.. =)


Despite this happy looking photo of the two of them, Lucas was rather grumpy that morning and actually took a swipe at Brian first thing.. haha.. it was actually quite funny as he gave him a look first before bending over and hitting him in the arm..


I also purchased a copy of Darth Vader and Son.. This book is so cute and I knew Brian would love it being a huge Star Wars fan and all..
