Sunshine and Holidays


Hello there! Second week into my school holidays and its filled with golden sunshine and cloudless skies (Much of an improvement since last week’s rainy miserable days). I just had to show you all this amazingly awesome~tastic cake that I found on Pinterest. It is a seven Decker cake with nerds on the outside! This cake is simply amazing, colorful and very interesting!

                      

Last week was dreadful holiday weather, wet, rainy and miserable. But this week the tables have turned and we are now enjoying the beautiful sunshine and delightful blue skies.

P.S My Aunty (Her blog; Green Words Growing) has recently had her baby! It was a great miracle and My whole family is very happy! Check out her blog when you have time.

Holiday treats!


Its finally holidays! I have literally been waiting ten weeks for them.
List of things that make holidays the best

  1. Extra long sleep-ins and not having to wake up so early
  2. The joy of lazing around instead of boring maths classes
  3. Not being rushed in the mornings 
  4. Spending more time with your family
  5. No homework!!
  6. Not having to go to bed early (and instead watch Hamish and Andy:)
  7. Doing fun, crafty activities you enjoy
  8. No assignments!
  9. Making delicious food!
  10. Going shopping with holiday money
Have you got the "I am soo bored mum!" syndrome? Than I have the cure!
Below are a list (and pictures) of things you could do to clear up that annoying boredom!




1. Do a bit of cooking! Here is a suggestion.....


Cake pop party!
                                                              yummy cake pops!

Cake pops of course!
They are delicious and really fun to make.
The bonus is you can be as creative as you like! I have even seen sesame street character cake pops!


2. Do a bit of home  DIY . Here is also a suggestion



Recycled magazine page party decorations!

                                          DIY party decorations
DIY magazine page decoration! How cool!
Easy fun a cheap! I am sure mum or dad has some old magazines lying around at your place. These crafty decorations will keep you busy for hours!

3. Holidays= no school and that means no regulations! 
Nail polish here we come!

Nail polish is a very fun way to get your creative mind into gear! There are so many ways you can do your nails. Below are some of the nails I think are really cool.



That's all from me now!
have a good holiday y'all!

A Tea Party fit for a Princess


Tea parties. Great for Children of all ages and even adults! And I am going to show you how to make the best tea party in the whole world!

First, you will need a round table and a pretty girly tablecloth.
Secondly you will need Some teapots and cups (preferably Flowery ones, elegant like)
And now of course you will need some food. There is loads of food to choose from, But I think that the picture down below are perfect little biscuits for this kind of thing.
Tea parties are so much fun! And you don't even have to have real tea! Tea parties are full of imagination, and that is the beauty of it. You are a princess having tea with a neighbouring princess, or you could be a queen with her daughter, There are so many combinations and in it all there is so much fun, imagination and creativity. Tea parties are the best party for all ages and all people.

Sugar and Spice, a new blog on the block!




Hello! My name is Josephine and I just started a new blog: Sugar and Spice. I'm a pre-teen in the Australian hinterland and I love to read books (Fleurville Trilogy, Mr Bliss, Famous Five & Harry Potter), wear pretty headbands, make yummy food (I have a big sweet tooth!) and I have an obsession with colourful hot air balloons.
Above are some favourite projects from my Pinterest boards.
Below are the gorgeous wall stickers that are on the wall in my room.
