I love cooking, and I love creating new dishes, and if there is any one who I would like to thank it would be Jamie Oliver, his inspiration and dedication to food is sooooo contagious, he has inspired me in every way possible and when ever there is a dull moment in my kitchen, when I can't seem to think of what I should make for dinner, I just pop on one of my Jamie Oliver dvds or whip out one of his cook books and in less than a few seconds I'm inspired and ready to start cooking.
So why not try out some of his healthy but tasty recipes, I bet you will be hooked just like me.......

Summer time is my favorite part of the year, with endless days at the beach and balmy nights laying out on the hammock, what more could a girl want. Mango's, watermelon, Strawberries and Peaches are just some of the sweetest things I love to eat after a long hot day out in the sun. I love to see my children having loads of fun as they splash around under the sprinkler. But nothing beats walking along the beach with my true love as the Sunset goes down xoxoxoxoxo.
Seeing that I'm a religious person I thought I would share some of my beliefs and teachings of the church I belong to and it happens to be Sunday today so it fits in quite well. Instead of me preaching a sermon I came across a hymn in the lds children's hymn book which is simple to understand and explains a little on some of the spiritual knowledge I know to be true, through prayer and faith.
The hymn is titled The Church Of Jesus Christ.
I belong to The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. I know who I am. I know God's plan. I'll follow him in faith. I believe in the Savior Jesus Christ. I'll honor his name. I'll do what is right; I'll follow his light. His truth I will proclaim.

Well I couldn't help but think about how much I love my husband Aaron, so let me tell you a few thoughts on such a romantic subject.......
It all started the first time we met, it was an unusual circumstance I never noticed what he was wearing or the muscley arms, I noticed other things like his beautiful hand writing and strong voice, I recognized his inner qualities and could see his outer strength and conviction. Sure you think about meeting some one who is handsome , tanned and muscley, which Aaron was but every thing I had dreamed about in a person is more than just physical and I could see things in Aaron that I admired and I felt the woman that would marry him would be very lucky, not knowing then that I would be that very girl.
On our second meeting nearly one and a half years later it wasn't so unusual, it was a moment that I will hold dear to my heart for the rest of my life, it goes something like this. I arrived at the NZ airport wondering how things would turn out, would we both still feel the same way, would we get along, all those things you start to think about before you go out on a date. And all of a sudden there he was standing there waiting for me, Tall, strong, gentle and handsome we greeted each other and then went to get my luggage and pay for the car park, Aaron escorted me to the car and opened the door for me, as we were about to drive off Aaron turned to look at me and held out his hand my hand fit in his like a glove and I remember the feeling, holding his hand felt so familiar like we had known each other before, I knew then that I would be by his side Forever....Together, Forever in Love........
Pretty pink cupcakes are so cute and I was lucky enough to be able to write a few articles on a beautiful little shop called just tickled pink, And even luckier to be able to do some photos for the new website but don't be fooled not all the photos are mine, I will leave you guessing, see if you can pick my style.
I had to put this photo up of my beach glenelg beach, how many times have I walked along the soft sand, How many times have I sunbaked and bathed in the cool water. A place I love to see my beach glenelg beach.
I love gelati so so much I think it stems down to my Italian roots, if there is any thing I enjoy to do its making and eating home made gelati. My sweet husband bought me a gelati machine for my birthday and let me tell you I was making and eating gelati every single night, sometimes I would stay up till 1 or 2 am reading and studying up on the best gelati recipes, I came across some winners but some of the best turned out to be from Sicily and can I tell you they tasted so good, even my husband liked it which was a miracle because he doesn't have a European bone in his body, a kiwi through and through who could not tell the difference between a delicious gelati or a hungry jacks soft serve. But for those with more exotic taste buds if you ever get the chance get your own Ice-cream machine and have a go at it yourself its such a load of fun..........
I recently just finished my Graphic Design course which I enjoyed so much, It was very challenging and for some time I didn't think I would be able to finish the course, with 3 active children and being 7 months pregnant, but I was determined to finish and I reached my goal. Here are a few bits and pieces I put together while studying.
Two of my passions in life are photography and colour, mixing the 2 together allows me to use my creativity to create different pieces of art work which I enjoy to do in my spare time. This piece I made for Bella to hang in her room beside her bed to remind her of the wonderful beauties there are to be found in the world. Its called Rainbow of colours.
My favorite flower in the whole world is the beautiful frangipane they remind me of summer time and they have such a unique scent .
The sweet things in life are often the best, with a wonderful husband and three beautiful children life is busy and exciting. With 101 things to do every day I like to take time to enjoy the sweet things in life whether it be a stroll along the beach or indulging in 2 or 3 scoops of creamy gelato. Enjoying the sweet as things in life brings a sense of balance into my life and just lets me be me.
