So here we are! Monday morning: an opportunity to renew good intentions, revisit lapsed resolutions and start the week afresh. For too many of us though, this is exactly when we are hardest on ourselves: our inner critics go into overdrive reminding us how much we have to do, and everything that didn’t quite get done last week. With Springtime comes an added pressure. This morning, like me, have you looked in the mirror with a groan and a promise to get back on the diet and go to the gym? Share the...

On Food-filled Friday last week I asked you, my beloved Warriors, which sweet creation you would like to see me bake and I presented you with THESE five caketastic options. Votes were cast and then counted by our specially brought in independent adjudicator (a.k.a. Craigy Boy). It was close Warriors, so very close and in the end only one vote separated the top two choices: Triple Lemon Layer cake and the Triple Layer Flecked Chocolate cake.

These days my holiday does not begin until my feet are firmly planted on solid ground and normal breathing patterns are restored. Share the...

Starting to prepare for my imminent trip to NYC got me thinking. What travel tips do I consciously/sub-consciously take into account? Could I be better prepared? What strategies could I put into action that would make for a calmer, more organised and altogether more pleasant holiday? I was going to scour the internet for guidance, as I so often do, but then I stopped. Why seek the counsel of strangers as well-informed as they may be, when I have the very best resource at my fingertips… Share the...
