We lost our daughter 4 years and 9 months ago to this day. I talk about Elena at every oportunity I can. She and her brother are my world and the family I hand made. This month is pregnancy and infant loss awareness month. Too many people have to suffer and feel heart break around this topic. Wear pink and blue to celebrate the ones you have lost. Light up your candles on the 15th for the international wave of light across the world in rememberance of your loved ones. . . #october #international #pregnancyandinfantloss #pregnancyandinfantlossawareness #lifeafterloss #loss #childloss #children #grief #stillbirth #family #momentsofmine #life #mumlife

We baked up a storm this weekend. Baking with my kid is just such fun and so funny. We throw practicality to the wind and usually end up in an all out flour throwing war 🙂. . Sharing my dark chocolate and berry muffin recipe today to help eliminate those back to school blues or just combating (counting my own here) grief. . Recipe on the blog today. . . #baking #bakingwithkids #cake #muffins #backtoschool #blues #grief #family #familyfood #familytime #blueberries #raspberries #treattime #kitchenfeasts #recipe #blog #foodblogger #momentsofmine #inmykitchen #honestmotherhood #lifeafterloss

Lots of new followers this week so just wanted to introduce myself. . I am Vanessa and this huge bundle of joy in my arms is Alexander. He is my youngest. His sister Elena died 4 years ago and so I live for every single moment of motherhood that I get to share with Alexander. Being here with him is a total blessing. We have our ups and downs like any family, as a mum you worry and stress over everything but even with the picky eating and the threenager tantrums, every moment is just awesome and I am super lucky. . I started my blog years ago for reasons I cannot even remember now, but now I blog just to have a creative outlet. It isn't about gaining followers or to be popular but about just sharing my moments and a few helpful and nice recipes and also some funny stories about our life. . So welcome to the new followers and thank you for continued support to those that have been there from the start.

I am back in the kitchen making things other than birthday cakes and dinners. This week I made jam. Something I used to do a fair bit of but haven't had the energy or time in the last few years. Jam is something you need to have a lot of people to share with. There is absolutely no point making a big pot of jam just for one person. So with the gift of some garden apples, I made a spiced apple and peach jam and gifted it to some of the people close to me and kept a little jar in reserve for myself and Alexander. . My spiced apple and peach jam is on the blog now. . . #jam #homemade #apple #peach #applejam #healthykidsfood #healthyeating #eatyourfruits #familyfood #inmykitchen #onmytable #cookingfortwo #feedingtoddlers #momentsofmine #foodandwine #homecooking #kitchenfeasts #irishfoodblog #nourish #blw #blf #easyfood #breakfast #simpleingredients #simple #treats #fruit #spices #flatlay

What could be better than simple food done right? I am all for simplicity this week. . We are eating good tasty and easy food this week. Grilled up lots of vegetables including this fabulous corn, chargrilled some meats and am offering up buffet picnic style dinners all week for Alex and myslef to munch on. . I am really pleased with our foodie week so far 🤗. . #grilledcorn #corn #sweetcorn #vegetables #grilling #simplefood #simplicity #summer #summerfood #food #foodandwine #survivor #singlemum #picnic #dinner #kitchenfeasts #irishfoodblog #onmytable #ontheblog #recipe #life #salad

Finally a new post on my blog today. I made this a few weeks ago but ran out of steam while buying a house. I am now officially the sole owner of my very own home and feel that I can breathe a little again. . My Green Goddess Quiche is packed full of flavour and goodness and is the perfect lunch or dinner in this warm summer weather. . #simpleingredients #quiche #tart #green #foodandwine #homegrown #homecooking #onmytable #inmykitchen #singlemum #lunch #dinner #summer #getinmybelly #healthyeating #family #familyfood #home #foodblogger #foodblogfeed #kitchenfeasts #raisingfoodies #deliciousfood #nourish #picnic #vegetables #asparagus #eggs #spinach
