Building Forts & Baking Cupcakes


What better way to spend a lazy Sunday morning than reading books in your cosy fort :) I call this wonderful creation "the princess fort" as we made it in Emilia's room out of pink polka dot & purple Sofia blankets as well as a mixture of cupcake & cloud cushions! Emilia & Eduardo absolutely loved it...they didn't want to get out!


Although every fibre of my being was against working out on a Sunday, I powered through and actually got my bum to the gym yesterday during naptime as I know I've got a busy week ahead and I probably won't get to go very much if at all! We've got a full schedule everyday this week so I will do my best to get three days in but I'm not making any promises! (My CK t-shirt is from Urban Outfitters and my sweats are from GAP.)


Yesterday was also baking day and as we had some friends coming over today Emilia & I made cupcakes! For some reason I was kind of craving coffee cake as I hadn't had it in a while so these are Cappuccino Cupcakes (recipe from Keep Calm and Bake Cupcakes book)! They were absolutely scrumptious and made all of that exercising totally worth it! 


Last night while putting Emilia to bed, she took her little dolly and tucked her in beside her. Then she put her arm around her and said "Now let's take a picture with your phone mummy!" I actually laughed out loud - this girl is more on the ball than I am! She really knows how to get the good shots ;)
