❤️LOVE❤️

Hello everyone!

 

I'm back after a break from blogging! It's been fun and busy running after 2 precious children, renovating and trying to find time to live in the now. It's so easy to long for moments in the future, or miss moments from the past, but learning to REALLY live in the present is a challenge at times. But it's been something that I've been thinking about lately, to make the most of the moments that we have because soon they will be gone and there will be new moments to enjoy.

One of my favourite type of moments is romantic moments, so when I was asked to make a wedding cake for today, I happily agreed! Celebrating LOVE is one of my favourite things to do!

(Please excuse the photos...the dark Swedish winter is not the most ideal for photography😄)

 

So as we head into the new year, let's remind each other to live fully and to LOVE fully!

 

Love,

Heidi

A whole lot of diggin' fun!

Children are a blessing! I remember the first time I held my oldest son, the feelings were overwhelming. Somehow when you get a child, you think you know what love is, but actually, the more time I spend with him the deeper the love grows. It is amazing the ability that children have in impacting our lives.

Now it's 5 years later and I can't believe that my baby is on his way to becoming a thoughtful, intelligent, kind yet strong young man!

What a blessing he is! When he turned 5 in November he wanted to have a building/construction party, here is some snapshots:

When the kids arrived they had a visit from "Builder Bull" who took them into the basement for some challenges. First they had to find head bands which then split the group into two teams depending on the colour headband they found. The two teams then had different relays so they could run off some energy. After that it was time for lunch, a "Build-your-own-burger bar". After lunch the birthday boy opened his presents and then we headed outside for some digging-in-the-sand games. It was a chilly day so after the games we came back inside to eat cake and ended off the day by crafting our own bulldozers. It was super fun!

Elias, I am so proud of you my son. I so look forward to the adventures, the laughter and the memories that lie ahead!




To all of you with kids...remember to cherish the moments, they go by so quickly and can never be brought back!




Love,

Heidi

Strawberry Delight

This week-end we celebrated my sister-in-law's birthday a little early because she is heading on an adventure to India for 3 months. I tried a new recipe with puréed frozen strawberries in the batter and it came out amazing. It was such a refreshing cake! I layered the bases with my favourite cream cheese frosting and fresh strawberries...Yummy!

 

If you want to try this cake out, you can find the recipe over at Smitten Kitchen.

Happy travels, Mickie!

Love,

Heidi

The legendary Lightning McQueen

Lightning McQueen is one of the most popular Disney characters, at least in my household of boys. So I was happy when a friend of mine asked if I could make a Lightning cake for her 5 year old son. A delicious chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream. It came out pretty cute!

Happy baking!

Love,

Heidi
