I say this every year and I still believe it- Easter is one of my very favourite times of the year to decorate for. I love the sweet, soft colours, cute bunnies, and the promise of spring to come after a long winter.

How to make a Delicious Non-Alcoholic Paloma

The Best New IKEA Products For 2023
Examining the new IKEA catalogue every year is a favourite pastime of mine. Even though IKEA has stopped publishing a yearly catalogue, I still spend an afternoon in January scouring the IKEA website for fabulous new products.
