Blueberry Orange Muffin turned Bundt Cake

2011-06-18T18:41:00.000+01:00

So the other day whilst i was trawling the internet for recipes, i found this one on Anncoo Journal and decided to give it a shot... I had blueberries to be used up and decided on this one... seemed easy enough for me to do... I was lazy to take out my muffin pan and thought since i had a bundt pan on hand... thought i'd just use that instead.... So here is how my muffin turned cake came out

Coming back to blogging again?

2011-06-17T22:06:00.000+01:00

Had a look at my blog and realised that i have not written in it for over a year..... Maybe its time for me to fill it up again! Well, I think the busyness of life has gotten the better of me! Hence the lack of writing! Anyways, some things i think i'll share... In about 21 days my older baby is turning 10! Gosh!! How did that happen? She is growing up fast! Sometimes i wish that she could

Baby M's grand entrance

2009-11-09T21:56:00.000Z

Baby Maxwell Owen made his appearance a day after his due date on Oct 17th, 09! He weighed in at a whooping 4.3kgs / 9lbs 8oz. Obedient boy we say he is! He knew exactly when to make his appearance so it was convenient for everyone! And boy, did he come fast! Save all the gory details...but contractions started for me on Saturday morning at 6am. Then at 6:15am Mike asked me if i was doing fine

Busy but fun weekend!

2009-09-13T19:38:00.002+01:00

This weekend was a fairly busy one for us! We had some friends up for a visit. It surely was an insight to how it could be when the little one is here.....Our friends have 2 lovely boys aged 3+ and 1+..... Miks was all over them and wanted to do just about everything for them! Which at some point does get quite scary.....since she is not that big herself...she tries to lift the little one to

Today marks 10 days to Miks 8th birthday....it seems it is not getting any easier raising a girl at this age......all she wants is to do what she wants and not what we want her to do!!! I wonder when that will pass......She definitely a person of her own mind......The other day when she got masd at me for not allowing her to watch tv or play the computer, she decided to stomp upstairs to her room

House Hunting in Aberdeen!!

2009-01-29T18:18:00.006Z

House hunting in Aberdeen is a difficult...no lets say nightmarish job! At least to find a suitable one for us to live in!!! Either too far, too old, too small or something else is just not right!! So I have yet to find our next home.....hope to find it soon!!! I have since figured out why we have been on the losing end of the leasing housing market, i think i jinx myself out by going to look at
