Hello my lovelies! Last week started and ended well with some difficult moments in between. We came out of the gate strong with a day relaxing with the SuperBowl and an army of hotdogs. We finished on a high with new hair, an exciting line up of coffee dates and a bunch of sunny days. There was definite downhill movement…

The WB Life: Starting the Month of Love and Football
Hello my lovelies! Happy SuperBowl day! I managed to do myself some mischief this week which severely restricted my baking activities. I’m mending fast and getting back into it. I’ve been planning and prepping our SuperBowl food situation. Since the Monday-isation of Waitangi Day it’s much easier for Kiwis to enjoy the spectacle. I redecorated the tree for February. As…
The WB Life: Nuts and Bolts
Hello my lovelies! How have your weeks been? It’s been a bit slow around here, mostly because retraining yourself to walk and run properly in your thirties sucks. It’s not just my jokes that are lame. I have a bonus recipe for you today – a better Nutella. I was experimenting and am excited to share it with you. I…
The WB Life: Making Friends
I’ve been out and about a bit this last week. I made a new friend. I helped another friend make delicious pies and cookies. Worked on some recipes. Made some preserves. Had a scare with my plants. Mum saved the day. On Sunday I made a birthday tart for my oldest friend.
The WB Life: One Foot in Front of the Other
Hello my lovelies! What a week it’s been. The Raiders lost to the Texans ending their Superbowl hopes. I taught myself a new cookie decorating trick. Went to an art exhibition. I had an expensive and helpful medical appointment. Actual tomatoes are growing. It feels like a miracle. I’m rounding out the week with a movie night with my two…
The WB Life: New Year, Slightly Better You
Hello my lovelies! Happy New Year! 2016 has been full of ups and downs for me. A lot of stress. A lot of great experiences. A lot of change. It ended well and that’s what counts. Time to focus on a new year and better things. Make resolutions that we can keep.
The WB Life: Holiday Feels
Hello my lovelies! The weather has finally turned around (except that I just jinxed it) and I am settling into holiday mode for the a week or two. It’s been a big long hard year and not in the way that anyone likes… It’s come full circle though and now that I’m embarking on a new chapter, 2017 has a…
The WB Life: A New Life
Hello my lovelies! As you all know, my passion lies in creating and sharing deliciousness with all of you. To this end in mid-October I left my job in finance to spend a year working out how to make a life for myself that involved more of this and is happier and more fulfilling. I gave myself a holiday break…
What a Week
Hello my lovelies! It’s hard to believe how much has been packed into the last week. We now have a terrifying US president, and here in a large chunk of New Zealand we have had a very difficult 36 hours. I’m trying to remind myself that it’s still spring.
The WB Life: Bread with My Best Gals
Hello my lovelies! Welcome to the mid-week Winsome Baker post! This is where I will chit-chat about what’s going on in the Winsome world and demonstrate that I’m a real person (awkward cough). Don’t worry, delicious recipes will keep coming on Sundays! I’ve just started in on Junk-free June, which for me means finding a healthier home-made alternative. So I’ll…
