Happy Monday! What did you have for breakfast yesterday? I am a big pancake fan. Once every week or two on a Sunday, I mix up a batch of blueberry or raspberry pancakes for Theo and I to enjoy. I have mine with maple syrup, […]
Last week, I had a day off to go and get my birthday massage. I know! Only three months later than planned. It was awesome. I had planned to go for lunch beforehand in the neighbourhood, but I hadn’t quite anticipated just how tight finances […]
I shared this recipe for the first time in my newsletter a couple of weeks ago. If you’d like to get exclusive blog posts, new recipes and other fun stuff, sign up for my (semi-regular) newsletter. There’s this couscous salad that Waitrose does that I […]

{Spoiler alert for my parents…} EEK! This year, after a bit of debate (my dad didn’t want to let go of the Christmas reins), Peter, Theo and I are hosting Christmas. How involved Theo will be in the preparation, I’m not sure, but I’m sure […]
