Bouncing into the week

Why hello there!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

Once again, it's a new week

and this week, I'm bouncing into the week full of life

and ready to take on whatever gets thrown at me. 

The weather doesn't seem to be sharing my enthusiasm, however.

But that's okay!

I'm excited for this week,

It'll involve lots of cake making 

and party preparations because it's my sister's birthday on the weekend. 

I love having people over

and having an excuse to try out new recipes and spend hours in the kitchen.

I don't know how anyone could say they don't like cooking. 

When I was younger I always looked forward to my birthdays,

I don't think I had many birthdays that weren't themed

or planned right down to the smallest detail. 

I had an American themed birthday party, countless fairy parties, disco parties

and I even had a pirate themed sweet sixteenth.

And the best thing about birthdays as a kid?

Getting to spend hours looking through Australian Women's Weekly cookbooks trying to decide which cake i'd get mum to make me that year

and then going through other party cookbooks begging my mum to make me ridiculous party treats. 

As I get older, birthdays have become less important

and now my excitement is focused on dinner parties and other people's birthdays.

Any excuse to plan a party is fine with me! Even if its just a few family friends coming over for a BBQ.

So tell me, 

What did you look forward to when your birthday came around?

Have a fantastic week!
