Baby

At the end of last year, my lovely girlfriend Poppy took these gorgeous cake smash snaps of #littlehowie just before he turned 1. Isn’t she clever?! For the cake smash, I made a simple butter cake and layered it with whipped cream and berries. And of course it was proudly…

These nutty banana muffins AKA baby hipster muffins are full of healthy superfoods and fats, perfect for little (or big!) growing people. Max (#littlehowie) is now 14 months and needs more than just a handful of strawberries for morning tea these days so these muffins make the perfect little lunch snack. I…
