Friday bits + bobs

Happy Friday! It’s been a crazy week… but seriously we don’t really have weeks that aren’t crazy anymore. It kinda comes with motherhood, oh and working from home. Crazy.

Last week I asked on my Facebook page if anyone had any good cake recipes because I’m in charge of the cake table at my sister’s engagement party. I’ve picked all the cakes from the recommendations and have been busy baking each evening. Multi-tasking is bringing me undone, so far I’ve burnt the condensed milk and stuffed up the brownies {put the wrong flour in and then burnt them}. I’ve got some baking-up to do.

It’s been raining non-stop in Sydney for the past week, and I hear it’s just as miserable down where the engagement party will be held. I think we’ll just frock up and wear gumboots. Stylish!

I’ve had two emails to say that my dresses and shoes that I wrote about earlier this week are set to arrive, perhaps even on Monday. I’m so excited. I hope they don’t disappoint!

My sister has entered a competition to win her and her hubby-to-be a wedding in the Whitsundays… and I’d love if you’d vote for her because I’m going to be a bridesmaid and how much fun would that be up in sunny Queensland? It’s just one quick click {no signing up, no emails – just one click!}, and you can vote every day. It closes soon so I’d love if you vote here: VOTE please!

And just to show what a great guy my brother-in-law-to-be is watch this birthday dance video he made and sent to me last month on my birthday. The video made me cry tears of laughter. Seriously funny. Enjoy. x

    Hope he dances straight into the Whitsundays. x

  4. That video, is bloody hilarious! Your bro-in-law-to-be is a hoot! Imagine what he'll pull together for the bridal waltz… it might be one of those weddings that goes viral :o)
    Hope the engagement party runs beautifully, with all those homemade goodies, I'm sure it will xo

  5. Hello, my favourite thing to bake is a 'Mixed Berry Crumble'. It is deliciously healthy so to make it decadent, serve it with strawberry ice cream and freshly whipped cream. Mmmm………

  6. Please give us a review of the dresses – I loved the look of the store and was *so* tempted – esp with a blue dress on the home page – but nervous at the same time! xx
