10 WAYS TO BE A GOOD MOTHER AND BE PROUD OF IT

February 1, 2021 No Comments

Hello Everyone,

How was your weekend? I hope it was great and are ready for another week. We are also doing fine and just going on with homeschooling as usual. We’ve actually been informed that schools will still remain closed and the earliest they would be allowed to open may be the beginning of March, so fingers crossed. Anyway, I hope you’re all hanging in there and taking it one day at a time. Today’s post is all about 10 ways to be a good mother and be proud of it. This is by far something that almost every mother worries about and thinks whether they are doing it right or wrong. I am just going to jump straight ahead and share some with you.

Hello Everyone,

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend and starting off your week right. Can you imagine Christmas is right around the corner? Since we are in another round of lockdown and I haven’t posted on here in like forever, I decided to go ahead and pop in real quick and update some of my old recipes. I made these quite a lot during the first lockdown and they always go down a treat. This is a simple basic biscuit recipe which you can make like literally in minutes and won’t have to worry whether or not you’re going to mess up and they always turn out great.

Recipe week (Day 4)

Well it’s me again. I hope you’re all having a great week and still surviving life indoors. As you can see I am back again and we are on day 4 people. I know you’re probably almost tired of me but hopefully not yet, let’s just finish the week then we can all take a breather and do stop by days 1,2 and 3 too. Today it’s all about the lovely avocado in my simple, fresh homemade guacamole. Guacamole can be a little bit controversial if you ask me depending on where you’re from because there’s the smooth, spicy, chunky and the crazy version with other ingredients added to it. What I don’t get is the people who hate avocado, like really? It hasn’t done anything wrong and I just love it. Anyway, this is my simple, fresh homemade guacamole recipe. I mean it’s not really a recipe since you just throw in a few ingredients together, for this you will need;

February 25, 2020 15 Comments

Hiya,

I hope you all had a good break now that schools are back on. I thought it would actually feel like a real break for me but let’s just say that having both of them at home, at the same time, all day and the gloomy weather wasn’t as relaxing. Anyway, a while back I decided to give you all a recipe week where I shared a recipe everyday to catch up with my cooking videos, which can be hectic to schedule to go with a blog post at the same time. So today I am back with another recipe which didn’t make it to that list but so worth it and it’s my roasted butternut squash soup. For this delicious soup recipe, you will need;

T’is the season

Hey there, so December is around the corner and I haven’t even started any shopping yet. My tree is eating dust somewhere in the garage and don’t even get me started with gift giving. Anyway, I know some of you are already getting the hang of things and already have your tree up which is great by the way. Today’s post is a bit different, I already did some gift guides before which still apply this year be it for him, her and the kids. Also if you need some for the interior lover then I have one for that too but today I decided to give you the best thoughtful and practical housewarming gift ideas.

I am sure you’re wondering like really, housewarming? Yes that’s right, I am going to be moving house soon and I just decided housewarming gift ideas sound pretty good right now. Also there might be someone out there who is moving into a new home just in time for Christmas, so I would like to share with them some gift ideas which are thoughtful and practical at the same time. Okay let’s get started.
