Homemade Vitoria sponge birthday cake

                         

 

My mum made this cake for my Uncle's birthday.  It was absolutely delicious!  Jam and cream were in the middle and the actual cake was so light.  It was also made with gluten free flour, but you wouldn't have been able to tell.

 

Although his birthday is next week we celebrated my Uncle's 50th birthday.  My Uncle is someone I look up to.  I always have.  I always remember the fun we had when I was a child; playing football, going to his house, him taking me out, teaching me to cook.  I spent a lot of time with him.  He has taught me a lot.  I love cooking  and football because of him.  Whenever he comes over we always have a laugh.  I admire him so much, he's a legend!  Every one is our family loves him.

 

We had a little birthday gathering for him and he really enjoyed himself.  I love to see him happy so mission complete!  Happy early birthday to my wonderful Uncle!

30 Day Snap | Day 17

So one of my little people finally decided to finish a kiwi!! I am a very proud mother right now. I instantly grabbed the bowl and took the picture! 

It's a struggle to consume fruit some times so this is definitely a milestone :) this makes me very happy!

Any of my fellow mums finally managed to get their little ones to eat something? It's a fantastic feeling!

30 Day Snap | Day 15 Father's Day

           

A blessed day today, on this special occasion. 

I learnt to make these bracelets and received one as a gift! I will be purchasing a pack of elastics this week so I can make some more. 

These bracelets will remind me of my wonderful family, and a lovely Father's Day.  I am blessed to have a great dad who I admire greatly.  I hope you all had a wonderful day. 

 

My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have a father in heaven.  An also to those people who do not have a father in their life for other reasons.

 

Much love to everyone xxx

 

 

 

 

Thankful Thursday

It's been a fortnight like no other!  My college course is drawing to a close, my stress levels reached a high but thankfully subsided, I have had some magical moments and some really thought-provoking ones.



My fortnightly delights

This week I have taken some time out to concentrate on what really matters to me as well as the things that I have been neglecting.  So far so good! I have been focussing on growing as a person and evaluating my current position.  Here is what I have been thankful for these past couple of weeks:

 

Love

Love is such a beautiful thing. 

Sometimes we can unintentionally take it for granted, but

that doesn't mean we are not grateful for it.  Where would we be without
love?

 

Money

Whatever the amount my be.  I am grateful to be able to eat

and feed my family.

 

Books

There is a book for everything!  I do not know what I would do

without books or the ability to read.

 

My little people

One of which made my name out of lego.  How patient they have been while I tear

my hair out over coursework.  Love them.

 

My tutor

There are some tutors who it is ok to have a meltdown in front of and some

who don't care.  My tutor is the former.  Hats

off to him, seriously.

 

Family

Support, support, support.  The end is nigh, so I will see you all

at the end of June!

 

Have any of you had a any magical moments lately?  What are you thankful for?


Sending you all love and rainbows.  Much love  xxx



Charity Fundraiser

HEYYY!!

If you follow me on Twitter, you will know that I have been raising money for charity for the purpose of a college project.  The task was to plan, develop and execute a fundraiser for a charity of our choice. 

I chose Noah's Ark Children's Hospice.  They are a charity that help and support children with life-threatening and life-limited illnesses, and their families.  Offering support, advice and counselling to parents of bereaved children, this charity is something those in need heavily rely on.  Noah's Ark also organise sibling days to lift the spirits of brothers and sisters affected by an ill sibling.  I really believe in their work and was more than happy to raise money for them.  As well as that, I also plan to sign up as a volunteer.

On Saturday, we put on a children's fun day at my local church.  There was a cake, book sale, teddy bear prizes, biscuit decorating and games.  I made a special effort to greet all the guests and ensure everyone was looked after.  Everyone who attended said they really enjoyed themselves!  It was a great day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am so proud of what was achieved; it made all the stress and hiccups worthwhile!  I would do it all again, but be a little wiser next time. 

All my family and friends that have supported me, I am so very grateful.  I feel very blessed .  I love you all if you are reading this!

We have set up a Go Fund Me, where people can donate to our cause. Just click the link!! 
If you are able to donate and/or share the link please do!  Whether its £1 or more, every amount helps.

This has been a great experience.  I have learnt A LOT and found some qualities in myself I did not know I had: for that I am thankful.

Thank you for taking the time to read.
Much love xx
