Shopping Wishlist
Okay so I LOVE online shopping! I think I browse online stores daily at some point, even if just for 5 minutes.
At the moment I have a very long wishlist of items that I have been eyeing off for a while so I thought why not share a few of them with you guys.
So here we go.......

Baking fun with my Little Man.
Well it is cold, overcast and here today, perfect weather for a little baking.
I have both kids at home with me (2 year old and a 7 month old).
I had just put little Ivy down for her sleep and thought, perfect time to do a little baking with Mr Hugh for morning tea.
Did a little internet search and we decided on a Apple and Cinnamon Tea Cake, with real apple slices on the top and a yummy crunchy cinnamon crumble over that :-)
We made loads of mess and had lots of fun - Hugh insisted on stirring and wafts of Flour filled the Kitchen LOL
Not the healthiest choice but definitely a lot of fun and a yummy result!
This recipe is nice and moist inside and has a delicious crunchy sugary cinnamon crumble on the top. I think this would be great served warm with a little custard or even a small drizzle of cream mmmmmm. Alas neither of which I have at the moment so we are just having it as is.
Here is the link to the recipe I used and a few photos of our baking fun. xx

Health and Fitness Overhaul!
Okay guys, so I had a baby girl 8 months ago and I was going great guns losing all the pregnancy weight. I even got back to my pre baby weight minus an extra Kilo about 2-3 months ago. :-)
BUT........ since then I have put on 4kg and it is continuing to slowly creep up and up. Mainly from lack of exercise and just inability to say no to soooo many yummy unhealthy foods, even snacking late at night!
I need to find some motivation and I thought what better way to help keep myself motivated and on track then to set a goal weight and write a blog post twice a week and possibly some videos about my progress etc.
I haven't got a plan as yet but I am thinking I will write posts on healthy dinner recipes and snack ideas, what my exercise routine is and some days just a general hello to keep me focused on my goal.
So keeping things realistic I would like to lose those 4kg over the next month (anything over that is a bonus) and just to more energetic than I currently do.
I will set the start date for Sunday 15th, this will give me the week to go shopping, make some meal plans and figure out what exercise routines I can fit in to my days.
If you guys have any great exercise tips, or maybe even a great recipe to share I would love to read them, just comment below. :-D

Fathers Day Gift Ideas
Okay so Fathers Day here in Australia is still 3 months away, but as a lot of readers of my blog are in the UK and US I thought I might get onto the gift idea list early!
I dont know about everyone else's dad but my dad is usually easy to shop for when it comes to Fathers Day. He is a avid reader and a runner so usually it is books and new runners or gear related to running. But this year will be a little difficult. He hasn't been running much lately and well that only leaves books and with 5 other siblings we cant all get him a book LOL.
Anyway without further or do here are my top picks for gifts for all different kinds of Dads.
My Dad isnt a big drinker but my husband (Dad to our two gorgeous kids) has recently started getting into home Brews and even turned a little bar fridge into a Kegerator with a cool little Beer Tap on top. So this next gift would be for the Dad that has his own bar.
I found this cool little gift on etsy for $33.00.

Little trip to Adelaide
Well I'm sitting on plane writing this while my 6 month old is fast asleep on my lap. I was stressing about the plane ride with her as she is a little more boisterous than her older brother was, but here I am quietly eating a sandwich, having a cold drink and writing a blog post woo hoo!!!
Its only a quick flight, just over 2hrs.... Only 1hr 10min to go, if I'm lucky she wont wake until we get there lol so cute! !!
