What a weekend indeed. Fun, frivolity and lots of laughs, with some of my nearest and dearest family.

We travelled to Melbourne to celebrate my Mum’s 60th birthday, and had an absolute blast from start to finish.

From making cakes, salads and pulling together the dessert table…

(And learning the hard way that one should not stir red velvet batter while wearing a white shirt)…

And gasping in awe at this beautiful teapot cake a local cake maker created for the party…

We had a lot of fun all-round. Not even the 38C+ days and a toddler who refused to nap could quash our spirits, as we partied until the wee hours of the morning.

Hokey pokey and all!

I returned home tired, but definitely grateful for my wonderful little family.

Happy Birthday Mum!

What about you? What did you get up to this weekend?
