Here's a few shots of my baby's 2nd birthday party this last week! Will be coming back for a full post of the recipes and decoration tips just as soon as i get five minutes to sit down :D
This is a perfect party for a person who has a sweet tooth. It’s yum! He is very adorable and that cake is eye catching. I am sure it would have been a great party. I would love to get a cake like this for my little one’s birthday. We have finalized an event space NYC for his birthday celebration. This post tells me that I have to make this day a very special one.
For the past few months, and after around 7 years in Angola I can finally say that I am actually doing what i planned to when i first decided to move to Africa. Help the underprivileged, the children in these impoverished communities and through this I reach an inner satisfaction for being in this country. It all happened when i met a group of amazing inspiring women who are part of the Kambamba school project , a school which i look forward to visiting every week, and which we fundraise for in different ways in Luanda.

This is what a basic school structure is composed off, and this is what an expat lady’s new year resolution was transformed into, the Kambamba school project for 90 kids of the Kambamba community of Angola’s capital of Luanda. Marjan Looyeh, an expat in Luanda used to visit the poor community with a friend to teach the kids some basic English and to play with the...
Since I've been here, most of my findings about the city were done online which earned me the nickname of "Google it" among my friends. Although the ressources are minimal, however over the years more and more sites have been emerging to help expats and locals move around the country, find something they are looking for and so on. Recently I came upon this great blog that I found through facebook, "Les marraines de Luanda", make sure to look them up, they also have a blog under the same name http://lesmarrainesdeluanda.blogspot.com/ . It's a blog written in French by several contributing expats. The various categories that it includes makes it super easy to navigate and to find exactly what you are looking for. So drop by the blog whether you are looking for a nanny, a supermarket, restaurant or some activity to do around the city. I found my son's playgroup through their blog. Also in french check www.vivreenangola.com . A group of f...
We're still in the spirit of valentine around here! I saw this cake on pinterest a while ago and been meaning to do it ever since- like any other pin of the almost 1000 i have pinned- but this one looks sophisticated and complicated but it is so simple to make. And having the appropriate cookie cutter you can adapt it to almost any occasion you have and it would definitely wow the crowd! I got the "how to's" of this cake from the following site,http://www.kidskubby.com/peekaboo-pumpkin-pound-cake/, over there they did a pumpkin cake with a pumpkin peekaboo! check them out! I used my own recipe of a vanilla pound cake and a chocolate pound cake, yes you will be doing two cakes in one so if you have cake mix boxes in hand it is even better! First start with the chocolate cake mix Pour the mix into a loaf pan and straight to the oven Make sure not to cook it through till then end, and remove from the oven 10 mins before its time. Leave ...
