The life altering event of having kids really does follow the cliché and alters your life in ways you hear about but would never think they would apply to you – because you’re too cool to be a lame parent. Well newsflash, you’re not, you will be a lame parent, but you sort of get…

Delete That Picture!
Thanks to the digital age, we are no longer constrained by hard copy photos, paying for photos that didn’t come out right, and changing film roles after every 24 or 36 pictures. But what we are guilty of is taking too many redundant pictures; I am the first to admit that I do this. Taking…
Apple Carrot Cake
I realised I didn’t have many cupcake recipes, I always prefer cakes with the perception that it’s a weightier dessert that feeds more people, I find with cake there is less weight and it’s easier to decorate one cake instead of many little cupcakes. But this one is an exceptionally simple recipe it would be…
Give Kids A Sense Of Growing Up
There are plenty of reasons why you should make sure your kids enjoy their childhood and try to protect their playful innocence. That comes with making sure that they enjoy what kids want to enjoy from riding a bike to watching cartoons and snacking on junk food once in a while. But as they grow…

This pie is a classic and the crunch of the caramelized pecans with the sweetness of the filling…

There is a growing “Light Travel” movement which I though was interesting. The concept started with campers and hikers whose limited bag capacity and large needs for equipment in remote areas focused on travelling light where you can by reducing the amount of clothes you take and choosing products made of lighter materials. This was…
Online Shopping Red List
I’m no stranger to e-commerce and online shopping. I do my fare share from electronics to baby products. But are there items that are absolutely no goes for online shopping? Do you have a red line or rather a red list of what items you simply would not buy online? Not because of availability or…
Apple Coffee Cake
A slight variation and twist on the classic apple pie, this Apple Coffee Cake has all the deliciousness of the apple with a more understated taste. Did you know what none of the “Coffee Cakes” have coffee in them, the name implies they can be eaten with a nice mug of coffee, can of like…
Travelling With The In-Laws
There aren’t many things that are as close to being in hell as travelling with your in-laws, obviously depending on your in-laws. I for one don’t mind it and I have wonderful in-laws, but yet there are still things to be mindful about travelling with in-laws. Travelling in general puts you in a situation where…
