If your four legged friend likes to be outdoors - even on the super hot days, here's a very simple yet effective way to provide some relief... A wet towel draped over their back works wonders!

Loving IKEA

Very happy with our IKEA table and chairs. The table is extendable and the whole setting is very, very strong. Best of all, the price was amazing!!!

The Nautic Look

Gotta love this nautic look bedding I spotted at Target. Very well priced, comfortable and durable.

Cooking Corner

We all love simple, quick and easy cooking, especially given our busy day to day lives.  Here are a couple of tried and true recipes that have saved me time and time again over the years.  Be it unexpected guests, a quick treat for the kids (and hubby!) or that plate you need for school functions, I have it covered.... and the best thing is they are very, very yummy!!

Super Quick Pancake Mix

1 cup self raising flour

1 tablespoon caster sugar

1 egg and a little milk

- Sift the flour and sugar

- Cook in greased fry pan until mixture bubbles, then flip and cook on alternate side until golden brown

Choc Coconut Slice

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 cup self raising flour

1/2 cup sugar

Simply mix all ingredients together and bake in a moderate oven (180 degrees or 170 degrees fan forced)
