Taking a back seat

Knock knock.

Who's there?

No seriously, is anyone still reading out there?!

I haven't been doing much on the blogging front lately and I apologize!

I'm just about to head off to Louisiana, USA in less than two weeks time so hopefully I'll have lots of interesting things to share.

Once I'm back home I'll definitely be whipping up some new recipes to share with you all as well, any suggestions?

I'm currently loving working on portraits and petography (is that not the cutest term?) so hopefully I'll be able to share some of that with you too!

Sweet Saturday: sharing time!

Why hello bloggies! 

Hope I didn't lose you with my knee cap post :P

This sweet saturday is a little different. 

I want to share some sweet posts I've seen this week,

and maybe you could share some too!

Banana Bread fan? Have a look at Diary of a Ladybird for some Chocolate Banana Bread

After a more decadent sweet? Shellie's recipe for Mars bar cheesecake might be more your style

I love handmade gifts and these Hot Chocolate on a Stick from Penguin Says Feed Me seem super simple and fun!

Now this recipe is a savoury one, but I think it's super sweet that Allie's dad joined her in creating a post!

Fruity desserts can be fabulous, like Lorraine's Pineapple Meringue Pie

Kelsey's blog is always full of sweet muffin goodness, check it out!

I'm looking forward to trying Lauren's recipe for Carrot Cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting

Julie's friends had a sweet idea of a Scavenger Hunt and Progressive Dinner for her bachelorette weekend

Do Caramel rum bananas and pecan brittle sound good to you? Look at Ellie's post!

Jenna's Favourite chocolate chip cookies look perfect! 

A big sweet congratulations to Brandi, who's now a published writer!
Jamieanne looks like she's mastered the perfect chocolate ganache with her Salted Chocolate Shortbread

now can you add to the list? 

don't be embarassed to add one of your own posts either!

This week I've been loving fruit!

I just haven't been feeling like eating ice cream or chocolate

and i've been gravitating towards strawberries, apples, watermelon, pears, kiwi - you name it!

In my opinion, nature often trumps baked goods and candy!

This weeks desserts have been centred around loaded yoghurt bowls - with puffed kamut! yum :)

Andddd now it's time for some puppy loving

She's in need of a hair cut

and she's scruffy because she's just been out in the rain

But I love my little bunch-a-fluff

and I decided she needed to be included in the post because she's currently at my feet
and totally sweet!

That's what Chanel looked like the day I got her, 

shnawwwwwwwwwwwwh.

Darn I wish I had a better photo! Pre-camera days :P

Today's confession?

Chanel (see above) has about three-hundred-and-sixty-million 

 other names that she is called on a daily basis.

So tell me, 

What can you add to the list?

and do you create other names for your pets?
