If you have never read Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, I urge you to do it…..NOW.  It’s an incredible read full of everything you could ever ask for in a book. I first read the books when I was 15 and have read them about 5 times over since then. In this book Jamie calls Claire ‘Mo Chridhe’ which is Gaelic for ‘My Heart’.

Just this morning, after waking up with that stomach full of dread, I got my coffee and started going through my daughter’s school bag looking for her hair tie. This child of mine is quite the artiste so I was raking through piles of her drawings. Then I came across her spelling book, the one that she’s been doing all her tests in throughout the year.

Eeeeep!! Guys I’m so excited to be sharing this with you! I’ve taken a little step back from cakes, mostly because I was feeling burned out and felt I needed to stimulate my creative side in a different way.
