It's been a while!

Howdy!

So, since the last time I wrote anything on here, I've had a baby!! I've been busying myself trying to get to grips with motherhood, getting to know my beautiful boy, understanding the new dynamics with my husband, and trying to adapt to being a single married wife about 2 weeks in every month! It's a magical journey that has taught me to compromise, listen, love (even more) and I think, most importantly, that I can no longer be the selfish human being I once was! Having a child is definitly a life changing experience, I can no longer do the things I was used to, sleeping in until 11am, going to bed at 1am, drinking until all hours, or just drinking at all! Going to the gym when I want to, napping during the day when I want, or even just eating when I want...my diet has been terrible as I simply do not have time to juice, blend etc...and that is frustrating, I'm living on bowls of cereal and anything quick I can find in the cupboard!! However, my little beauty is worth it, I know its only temporary, and it is a small sacrifice for now, to have a wonderful, happy little boy! He is growing and changing so much everyday, I do not need to get caught up with anything else other then appreciating the time I have with mini me!
I have, however, missed doing some of the things I enjoy doing, like cooking. And have been able to spend a small amount of time recently, in the kitchen, mainly food for birthdays, but I am greatful for the time I have had, following recipes AND trying new things! My most recent bake, was a birthday cake for my husband. It was a standard vegan chocolate sponge with peanut butter icing in the middle and chocolate peanut butter icing on top, the sponge was to die for, really soft and moist, and the rest was literally the icing on the cake 'ahem' :) pictures to follow!
