Well - what do you all think of my blog's new look? I had been neglecting my blog for a long time, basically because I thought it looked so rubbish there was no point posting anything on it - and there is no way I have the technical know-how to design a fab looking theme. Sooo - I discovered Patricia from Fancy Girls Designs and fell in love with her work. Her style is pretty, girlie and quite simple - just like mine! Patricia designed this fab new theme for me and I love it! Thank you so … [Read more...]

February Books

March 6, 2013 by 3 Comments

Casual Vacancy - JK Rowling I saw this book on a few "best reads of 2012" lists and reserved it at the library. I have never read any of the Harry Potter books by the same author (nor have I seen this films). I didn't even read the description of this book, I do that quite often - I just like to start reading and be surprised! I assumed by the title that this was a book about a hotel (vacancy!) but it isn't at all. The story centred around the goings on of a small village where everyone … [Read more...]

January Books

February 4, 2013 by 1 Comment

I got a little behind with my book posts last year but I am going to try to keep on top of it in 2013! January will be an easy month to review as I only read 2 books! It took me 3 weeks to read the first, then just under a week to read the second! The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton I saw a review of this on Amelie's House blog - it sounded different from anything I would normally read so I decided to give it a go. Plus I want to start reading more "classics". It was written in … [Read more...]

Snow Pups

January 19, 2013 by 2 Comments

Happy New Year! I'm still allowed to say that as it's my first post of 2013! Well, we had our first proper snow fall yesterday - it was so pretty. I love the first day that the snow lies, it's all so crunchy & fluffy - not so nice when it turns slushy & grey! The pups had an absolute ball! It was Holly's first "proper" snow as it didn't snow much last year for her, but Chester was an old pro at it all. Pretty Holly Happy Chester Snow Pups! Crazy Holly! … [Read more...]

Well - 2012 was a bit of a mixed year for me. Here are some highlights (or lowlights) - not in any particular order, just what comes to mind. I headed off for some winter sun in Lanzarote with my mum. I turned 30! Gary & I went on a lovely walking weekend in the Lake District with the pups and got amazing weather. I set up my own bakery business - Holly's Little Bakery. I reached the finals of the Marie Claire Inspire & Mentor programme and got to travel to London to meet … [Read more...]

Holly’s 2nd Birthday!

December 4, 2012 by 4 Comments

My little Holly Pops turned 2 yesterday on 1st December! Time has flown by since we got her & I am pleased to say that she is as cheeky and lovable as ever! :) I don't think that dogs should miss out on birthday cakes so I rustled up one of my specialty peanut butter and carrot dog cakes for her! I think it's safe to say both her & big brother Chester enjoyed it! :) She decided that she wanted to go to the beach for her birthday treat (!) so we headed to New Brighton … [Read more...]

Gingerbread loaf & the handiest scales ever!

November 28, 2012 by 4 Comments

I was sent a set of Joseph Joseph Triscale Folding Digital Scales from Find Me A Gift to try out! They obviously know I'm a keen baker! How cool do these scales look?! So, as my dad was over visiting, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to test the new scales and to make some yummy gingerbread (getting in the Christmas spirit!) These scales are seriously cute and dinky - sooo easy to store in a drawer. My dad and I had a bit of trouble trying to find where to insert the battery, … [Read more...]

Book Update

November 9, 2012 by 2 Comments

I have been really bad at updating my monthly book reads on here. I think I have missed 3 months...? Oh dear. Sometimes life just takes over and I can't focus on anything. I have still been reading though (it's one of the only things that have been keeping me sane!). I really should have made a list of all the books I read, but I'm not good at lists haha. I will list the ones I can remember here - they will either be very good or very bad - the mediocre ones will probably have escaped my memory! … [Read more...]
