Photo courtesy of Graur Codrin The last few months have been sprinkled with times of sadness. Throughout my blog, I’ve spoken about these realities in life many times.

I’ve definitely been slack on the cupcake decorating front, haven’t I? Even my family are starting to complain. My husband keeps showing me pictures of the cupcakes he wants me to make for him from my cupcake calendar. First it was a sugary golf scene….
I’ve been asked to speak at a “Girlfriends-themed” High Tea in a couple of weeks, which has really got me thinking about what it means to be a good girlfriend. Focussing on that question this week, I realised how blessed I am to have so many amazing girlfriends in my life. In the space of […]
