Hello lovely readers,
So I have been somewhat slack on the blogging front for over a year now, looking back my last post was the epic Malteaser Christmas cake from 2015. Lets just say that life got a little busy in 2016, and I am sure 2017 is going to be equally as manic, but in the past week or so the urge to write has come on strong.
So what did I get up to in my year off? Well, mostly I spent 2016 'adulting' and doing a few of the big exciting life things - firstly we got a puppy! Beautiful Molly, a standard long haired Daschund is now 13 months old, reasonably well trained (unless she is in one of her more stubborn moods) and my little angel. That happened in March 2016, which was also the month we put an offer in on our first home. Fast forward 7 weeks and all the paper work had been signed, money exchanged and keys in our hands. Big life moment. I now have a beautiful new home with a great kitchen for baking and lots of lovely neighbours who I can tempt with cake. Baking had taken a bit of a back seat for the remainder of the year however, as life update number three is that in July I found out we were expecting our first baby. In May we decided the time was right, and shockingly in our first month of 'trying' it happened! This was a fair surprise, but a joyful one at that. Pregnancy has been tough, I have had pretty much every symptom in the book and now I sit at 32 weeks just wanting to meet the little one.
I have decided that whilst I love baking, I am going to use this blog as a bit of a life story to look back on in years to come and hopefully celebrate my successes and laugh at the challenges I know are heading my way. I am sure baking will still heavily feature, although more baby friendly recipes with less sugar may be on the menu.
Lets see what life has to offer in 2017 (17 is my lucky number so hoping it will be a great one!) Xx
