Kiwi Baking with Lois!

A huge thanks to Lois for coming back to WonderMums and sharing her baking expertise & knowledge with us. A big group of us were able to enjoy chatting, watching the cooking, and questioning Lois for tips.

The recipies which were demonstrated (& we all enjoyed munching!) are listed below for you to download. There is a Word doc or a PDF doc depending on what you want. Each of these recipies approx cost is below $5 each also! Which is brilliant when you're working to a budget.

Photo Block Craft Night

Wow - we all had a really enjoyable time learning to make these Photo Blocks on Canvas. Dessert was lovely, & conversation without the interuption of our littlies was a treat. A huge thanks to Leigh for spending the time to teach us and share her creative skills with us. A huge thanks to Julia also, for the hours she spent sourcing fantastic embellishments & paper, and YUMMY coffees!

Check out the album to the right for more photos.

Keep an ear out for the next date for doing these...

Congratulations Charlotte!

Butterfly Creek - Take 2!!!

Well the day started out cloudy, with just a hint of sun peeking out, but like a typical NZ morning, it became a beautiful day relatively quickly. The animals at butterfly creek didn't seem to mind and neither did the kids.

We spent a lovely morning chatting, playing and riding the train, while drinking coffee's and supervising our tribes again at this great venue.

Did you know you can purchase a yearly pass for Butterfly Creek? This includes everything - farm, butterfly's, crocs and half price train for $80. Worth a second thought anyway.

Check out the photo's and the fun below!
