THE GOOD LIFE.

While reflecting today having reached another milestone, I realise that I am living the good life - in every sense of the word. I have family in my life who show me everyday that I am special and I have friends who constantly remind me that notwithstanding the continents that separate us, friendships that are worthwhile are lasting that neither time nor distance can destroy.

As I reflect too on The Tipsy Tart over the last two years, I realise that I have grown from a woman who was naive and believing to now being a strong woman with a business that is growing swiftly and successfully. With any business it takes maturity and time and with the right support behind me, I have learnt how to filter out the fakes and flick them off for the vultures that they are. 

So let the love and kindness of my family and friends together with thrill of the roller coaster of my business continue with all things positive while I continue having moral ethics of running a business in honesty and originality.

With love from

I GUESS YOU HAVE MISSED MY COOKING?

My son Dylan has been in Malawi since January doing volunteer work for a charity organisation called Lattitude Global Volunteering.

He has absolutely loved his time there giving tennis coaching lessons to underprivileged children in a rural school in Mzuzu.  

He is coming come next Saturday morning and I got a text yesterday giving me a list of all the food he would like to have on his return - which is as follows :

Steak Pizza for supper on Saturday

Roast Lamb for lunch on Sunday

Rice Crispy Chicken and chips on Monday



and with strict instructions to bring this with me in the car when I pick him up from the airport.

Oreo and M&M Brownies.

My beautiful boy, it would be my absolute pleasure. I guess it means you have missed my cooking.

Love you to the moon and back.

Love The Tipsy Tart known to you as Mum

VODKA SNOW CONE ANYONE?

 I love my little business and am constantly thinking of ways to improve my company and how I serve my vodkas at Markets, Festivals, Cocktail and Hen parties, so when I saw this cheeky little red snow cone machine, I just knew I had to have it.

It arrived today and I my friends, have fallen in love with this simple gadget.  

It just so perfect for The Tipsy Tart and I cannot wait to test it out on my customers especially since summer has finally arrived in the UK.

 Of course, I had to try out my vodka liqueurs to see if it was as good as I thought it would be and I am happy to report that I was definitely not disappointed.

Not only was it delicious, it is also so light and easily transportable and together with a small cooler box of ice, cups and straws, a delicious vodka slush is how available anywhere.  

All this ice just from the plastic container
of ice above.

Strawberry and Blueberry slush
that came with the machine

Cherry Vodka 

After it has melted a bit - so cold and so delicious

MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS

Anyone who knows me, knows my favourite place in my home is in my kitchen preparing something wonderful for my family or friends to enjoy while listening to fantastic music on my ipod with a glass of chilled white wine never too far away.

I love being creative and allowing my imagination to dream up new recipes and ideas and if there is any holiday, birthday or seasonal event just around the corner, I love involving my family in the preparations.   I am really blessed to have two cute willing volunteers never too far away who drag chairs into the kitchen to stand on at the same time they are rushing to put their aprons on.     The saying that many hands spoil the broth is definitely not true - how could it be when fun, laughter and memories are being created.  No camera could ever capture the pride and smiles afterwards when our "creation" is complete.

Today was one of those days where my soul has been served an abundance of chicken soup and happiness watching my gorgeous little helpers make these beautiful colourful eggs in preparation for Easter.

NOT QUITE FIFTY SHADES OF GREY AND A PAIR OF HANDCUFFS.

While thousands of woman are out and about buying new toys for themselves this summer after reading the mummy porn book called Fifty Shades of Grey and making the sales of erotica in shops like Ann Summers - rise sky high, I decided to go shopping as well.  However, unlike most woman, my purchase was for a Nordic Exercise Walker instead.

My husband has now informed me that he too will be going to go shopping for a new toy - a pair of handcuffs from Ann Summers, strictly for the purpose of handcuffing me to the exercise machine to make sure he gets his money's worth after what it cost me!!!

Here's wishing myself happy endless hours of exercise, losing loads of weight and getting my husband's investment back.
