Meet Our Newest Addition

Oh hey there.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

I do apologise for disappearing off the face of the earth for a few weeks, there have been a few things that have been going on in my world, starting with a flu, a nasty case of gastro, house renovations, an exciting project in the works that I am so excited to share with you all soon, and most importantly, a new addition to our little family.....meet Iggy, our beautiful little pup who loves snuggles, mealtimes and urinating everywhere. 

She has the most beautiful nature and I literally haven't wanted to leave the house to do anything. We are so excited to see her grow and are loving all the joy she is bringing to our lives.

Hope you had a wonderful Easter break, stay tuned for more on the secret project I am working on....

Confession time: If you ask my friends and family, they would probably all say that I love cooking and do a pretty good job of it. Truth is, I am a terrible cook. I tend to forgo measurements and sometimes just eyeball it. I substitute random ingredients to make things healthier or to use up what I’ve got it the fridge.  Nigella Lawson, I am not.

Growing up in my house we ate pretty healthily. While most kids got a small pack of chips or a fun size mars bar in their lunchbox, for us a muesli bar was considered a treat. Takeaway food was out of the question, maybe once a month, if that. It’s no secret my parents are super fit, but everyday after school for my brother and I it meant athletics, basketball, soccer, you name it, we played it. Neither of us really excelled academically at school, but we sure had lots of trophies for sport. You get the drift.
