While it would be a rare occasion for me to pass up cake, when I talk about finding healing and joy in cake, I don’t mean the eating of (although cake is an excellent stress/depress food)! For me, it’s in the creation of the cake – it’s not just about making a sweet treat, but it’s a way to find com...

Happy New Year everyone! Can you believe we’re in 2025? I don’t know about you, but I’m still recovering from December 2024!

After 3 weeks of having the kids at home (with a fair bit of rain in that time!), they are finally back at care today, so I'm able to go back to working on the business! I...

As we head into the New Year, I suppose it’s only fitting that today’s post be a reflection on the year that’s been, along with my hopes and dreams for the year ahead. So, 2024…what can I say? Well, it has simultaneously been the best AND the worst year of my life.

There’s absolutely no questi...

Most of us have grown up in an era where there is a stigma on body image and consuming carbohydrates, fats, and calories. It’s led to the impression that sugar, and therefore treats/desserts are “bad” or something that needs to be earned (e.g. once you finish all your veggies, or if you’ve had a bad...

I’m still trying to process most of this year so I’m struggling to accept that it’s already November! But the reality is that it is, and this means we’re heading into the silly season! The world we live in today is already so fast-paced and often high-pressure, but I feel this time of year just exac...

After a long absence, I'm back with what will be a raw and vulnerable piece on the last few months and the changes that have happened from and since then. If you weren't already aware, the reason for my abse...

Motherhood is hard. I’m now a mum of 3 and despite having been a mum for 5 years, I can assure you it doesn’t really get much easier; it just changes.

I think one of the most difficult things about motherhood is the isolation.

We are all driven by this urge to be the best mums that we can ...

I know we’ve seen a plethora of Mother’s Day content and yesterday was full of posts celebrating mums. I was going to do a celebratory blog post today, but the more I thought about what to write, the more I realised that my thoughts kept circling back to one thing. So….I’m going to possibly cause a ...

Well, it’s been a while! I didn’t intend to stay away from “The Sprinkles on the Cupcake” for so long but given everything that happened last year with my pregnancy and birth, I felt like I had to write something about it but for many reasons, I struggled to do so. And before I knew it, 4 months had...

***Trigger Warnings: unexpected pregnancy, pregnancy complications, potential loss of child, birth/labour complications, mental health illness

I’m back on the blog-osphere! Although you might say I was barely here!

My poor blog that I had all these plans for was unfortunately launched around th...

Well…here I am. I never thought that one day I would start a blog, which is actually quite surprising if you know me. I used to write heaps of poems and short stories so you’d think I’d have some sort of platform especially since blogging was the way to go back then. But then I also never thought th...
