Pie Love

Autumn

The world needs more pie.

And I couldn't think of a better way to spend my Saturday afternoon.

✽ ✾ ✿

Here's some photos of the recipe for these cutie pies!

They are in no way perfect, but they are super yummy and a great way to put a smile on someones face on a autumn afternoon.

Right... i'm off to eat more pie.
Let me know if you would like a more detailed version of the recipe!

Making a Difference

'Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day' - Unknown

I suppose you just have to find that good in each day, and then even the bad ones won't seem so bad :)

Now i'm not saying you're going to see a cute little duck splashing about having a great time in the puddles every day, but little things that make you smile all add up to something eventually. Right? Right.

One of my favourite blogs / twitter feeds is all done by The Random Acts Of Kindness Foundation. They always have the loveliest ideas about how to make somebodies day just a little bit brighter. I love the concept, and I know i'm not the only one... So why not give it a go?

✿✿✿

1. Call that person you always said you will 'keep in touch with' even if you haven't spoken in ages!

2. If you see someone you go to work or school with having a bad day, just bring them a cup of tea or hot chocolate (Even better!) ... Don't ask. Just do! (even if they don't like tea... a warm cup is a lovely hand warmer if it's chilly outside!)

3. Let that person in your lane when you are driving, they might be in just as much of a rush as you are!

4. Smile at a stranger ... Not in a creepy way, in a just because way. (smiles are contagious... Spread it around!)

5. Each time you get a new piece of clothing, donate an old one to charity. Same goes for anything you can think of
(Bed sheets, Blankets, Cups, Plates, toys ... You get the idea)

6. Put sticky notes with positive slogans or smiley faces on the mirrors in public restrooms.
(I love this one)

7. Leave lovely comments on blogs, Twitter, Facebook or any social media you're into

8. Do the job nobody wants to do. (Perhaps clean that part of the house/office that everybody has been putting off)

9. Bake some cakes or cookies to share with you friends/family/colleagues (Everybody loves cake)

10. Call somebody you love and thank them for being so lovely

It's nothing much... But maybe we can just do what we can with what we have.

Getting all Photographical

Autumn

Ooops! Look who had a birthday.

19 years old!? Yeesh how did that happen?!

Anyway so I wanted to do a blog post about my new favorite thing at the moment. My lovely boyfriend got me a camera for my 19th and I honestly can't put it down.

* Thank you Frankie :) *

The camera is the Fujifilm instax mini 90 Neo Classic (Bit of a mouthful I know!)

And it looks a little something like this ... *Squee*

I absolutely love the retro design of this camera and from the few snaps i've taken with it the photo quality is amazing, especially for an instant print camera!

I haven't had a chance to try out all of the different modes and exciting buttons on the back yet, but I have found the brightness control options and 'party mode' are incredibly helpful if you're shooting somewhere with low light conditions... which is pretty much everywhere in the wintry months!

I can't wait to push some more buttons and find out what they all do! - Maybe I will do a blog post about which one does what? ... As soon as I figure it out myself!

So here are a few snaps that i've taken so far. I would like to thank my dog, Blue. For being such a good test subject... Enjoy! Hopefully lots more to follow :)

P.S. I'd love to hear any tips anyone has for these Camera's? It's definitely very different to my old Polaroid camera so any advice will be much appreciated :)

The Weekend We Ran Away to Paris

Holiday

Oh wow, two blog posts in one day? Is this ok? Am I breaking some kind of blogging law that I don't know about?

Meh, i'm just going to go with it anyway.

I'm still kind of in shock that this actually happened, it was one of the loveliest weekends probably ever and I still get butterflies in my tummy whenever I think about it.

Last weekend my boyfriend and I went on a pretty spontaneous trip to Paris to stay on his families boat. (Luckiest... Girl... in the world *squeee*)

Everyone says that Paris is one of the most romantic cities in the world right? and as much as I dislike sticky lovey dovey gooey things I can't really disagree? My face hurt for days after coming home just from smiling so much the entire weekend.
I loved the feeling of being lost, but that being lost was ok and just forgetting about 'real life' things for a while...

That feeling didn't last very long... but I loved it while it lasted.

Finally a photo of me and my partner in crime, also known as that Frankie guy.

I do love him. I can't wait for our next adventure.

Hey there Autumn

Autumn

Well, that's it. I'm actually digging out all of my cosy winter warmer cardigans/jumpers out from the depths of my wardrobe now.

I love autumn. I love the change and how nothing looks the same as it did yesterday.
I also have an unhealthy addiction to pumpkin spiced latte's.

People always talk about loving the sound of leaves crunching beneath their feet... I don't think these people have ever experienced leaves crunching beneath your horses hooves.
I love it. It makes all the months that you spend wading through mud and trying not to get frostbite totally worth it.

This is my happy Place

Anyone For Secret Cookie Cupcakes?

Baking

Well.

It's day two and i'm still keen on this whole blog thing. I'm quite surprised really, I thought after sleeping on it i'd come to the realization that this was a pretty dumb idea, but here I am.

Anyway

So I thought I would share an AMAZING little cupcake recipe myself and my boyfriend discovered the other day.

Oreo Stuffed Cupcakes!

Vanilla cupcakes with a secret Oreo cookie

hidden inside! intrigued?

They are super easy to make and something every keen cupcake maker should try out

Ingredients & Stuff

150g Self raising flour

150g Plain caster sugar

150g Margarine

2 Large eggs

2 Teaspoons vanilla essence

And enough packets of oreo cookies to have a few to munch on while baking aswell as enough to hide in your cupcakes (and some for decorating if you want!)

Just start off as you would making a batch of normal everyday cupcakes. Blend the flour, sugar, margarine and eggs together in a big bowl aswell as a couple of drops of vanilla essence (this is optional.. but helps on the yumminess front)

Once your ingredients are all blended together and you have a thick mixture line your baking tray with large cupcake cases (they need to be pretty big to fit an oreo inside!)

Half fill the cases with the mixture and smooth down with the back of a teaspoon to make a little 'bed' for your cookie to sit on. Then just pop your cookies on top and completely cover them with the rest of the mixture!

Place in a pre heated oven at 180° and bake for 20 mins

And then ... Tadah!

Finish off with some vanilla flavored butter cream icing and some crushed cookies for decoration and you're good to go.

They look awesome when you take a bite. And don't taste too bad either.

Dammit.. This post has made me hungry.

*Tummy Grumbles*

Well that's it for now. Love from

Just Saying Hello

First post

Hi There

My Name is Sophie and this is my first ever blog post... Well technically speaking that's not true. Apon signing in to Blogger, for what I thought was the first time, I discovered a few cringe worthy posts that I made when I was around 12. Scary. I have no recollection of doing this what so ever! *Baffled face*

Moving on

I'm not entirely sure why i'm doing this. It just seemed like a good idea at the time. I don't even know what i'm going to post about yet (This is not a well thought out post)

Anyway, so i'm muddling through trying to work out how this blog thing works. Do I tell you about myself? I don't know why you would want to know that, i'm really not that interesting.

I can almost guarantee I will look back at this post in a few weeks/months/years and cringe my heart out. Oh well. *waves hello to future self reading this because i'm sure nobody else will*
