The holiday planning is still going strong this week, with last minute tour booking, completing the “FUN PASS” for our cruise, and since it’s getting so close to the time we leave, I’ve also started thinking about PACKING! How on earth am I going to pack 5 weeks into 1 suitcase? And if I’m hoping […]
Planning a holiday is so much fun! Especially when it’s a holiday you’ve dreamt about for as long as you can remember. This is how I feel about our upcoming trip to America, particularly the “city that never sleeps” – New York!! I must admit, as it gets closer, I’m getting a little bit nervous […]
Last week I shared my very first “grateful post“. I’m not sure if it’s going to be a regular occurrence, but I really want to share another one today. It wasn’t a planned post, but will be fairly self-explanatory, so here goes… Today I’m grateful for: my loved ones being safe and sound at home […]
Back here I promised I’d tell you about my practise walk over the Brooklyn Bridge! As you probably know by now, it’s the countdown for our dream family holiday to the USA! And of course, I’m so excited about going to New York, which has been a dream of mine for a very long time. One of […]
Each week the lovely Bronwyn, from Maxabella Loves, lists all the things she is grateful for. She encourages other bloggers to do the same in order to share the positivity across the blogosphere. What a wonderful idea! I enjoy reading other people’s lists, which always prompt me to count all my blessings in my mind too. […]
It’s strange, but true, that in our household, cupcakes seem to make everything better! After a hard day at school or work, my family love to be greeted with love and home-baked cupcakes. Last week was no exception – one of my children was having to deal with a “situation” which was heart-breaking for me […]

It was exactly this day, one year ago, that I wrote my very first “Life’s like a Cupcake!” blog post. I never imagined, at that time, how much joy this […]
It’s no secret that I love blogging. It’s one of my many creative passions, along with cupcakes (of course), beauty, fashion and food! These are all things that are centred on ME though. I mean, I’m okay with that, as I’m all for self-care, self-preservation and healthy self-esteem! However, I’m always totally blown away by […]
Before I write about anything else, it brings me great pleasure to announce the lucky winner of my very first giveaway (which was a $450 Dettol Baking Pack)!! I used trusty Random.org to pick the winner as follows (please note any lovely commenters who commented more than once only got one entry, sorry): Congratulations to […]
I’ve often talked about my long “to-do list”. In fact, it seems to be an ever-growing list of things I want to do, see and achieve in my life. It’s been no secret that after my breast cancer diagnosis, making the most of my life has become a priority. I’ve become quite focussed and unapologetic […]
