Sunday

We had a great Sunday together.
Swimming lesson in the morning.
Then home to make up pancakes, topped with our favourite - lemon and sugar.
Raced little cars on the floor before heading out to visit some friends in the afternoon.
I love my days hanging out with my daughter.

Exploring...

Tonight I have been working on finalising some images from my session with Soph, Cam & Annabelle, and enjoying looking at the special little moments between Daddy and daughter as Annie led Cam around their backyard to play and explore. This was extra special, knowing that Daddy was home for only 10 days, during his deployment to Afghanistan. See HERE for full story.

As a part of 'And then, she {snapped}'s Monday 'Photo Show Off', I'd love to share this image with you.

Happy Monday to you all!

Birthday carrot cake

Hip hip hooray......

Yesterday was my lovely husband Chris' birthday, and this year I am determined to do more baking (from scratch). I love making cakes and cupcakes for special occasions, but sadly don't do it as often as I would like. And although not really a person to set myself resolutions with the dawning of a New Year, I am going to make more of an effort to get stuck into the kitchen a little bit more.

Inspired by my friend Marinda, who posted on her Lady Cookie Monster blog last week, what was promised to be a nice & simple Carrot Cake recipe... I took to the kitchen to make Chris' birthday cake. Check out the recipe HERE - it was nice and simple to make, and so very delicious :)

And I fashioned some cute mini 'carrots' with dried apricots and green lolly snakes.

This is also my first contribution to the wonderful 'and then, she {snapped}' blog's 'Photo Show Off' :)
