Bump's day out!

Today I had such a lovely time all thanks to my good friend Sinead filled with laughs and sugary goodness it was a great day all round.
The first thing that bonded us when I met Sinead at the start of this college year was our mutual love for YouTube(she's the only person I've ever outwardly told about my blog/youtube). She now drives me in and out of college which is so handy! Well a few weeks ago Sinead told me she was pregnant and not just a little- a lot! She had hidden it from us all for ages but now it's out in the open it's excitement all round!

Today was our day.

We started it off with 2 exams in college which went fine for the both of us but who likes doing exams right? We went back to my house where we filmed a video all about the beauty essentials for labour/delivery which will be up on my YouTube channel as soon possible.

We then had some lovely beans on toast for our lunch.

The main reason for this day was that as soon as I leaned of the pregnancy I thought 'Sinead totally has to come to the pool with me!' I have a membership in the local hotel so we went up for over an hour of floating bringing lots of pampering products for after to make us feel extra refreshed.

We then decided we wanted to bake so we proceeded to make cupcakes and cookies, we didn't want to be greedy we're bringing them into college tomorrow(hopefully they'll go down a treat!)

To make us even more like domestic goddesses we made a really scrumptious vegetable stir fry with rice and garlic bread. Have to say it tasted divine!

 After we let our bellies digest our food a little and after we did a little college work we iced our cupcakes with pretty colours while catching up on some YouTube vlogs. They tasted better then I thought!(I'm not a huge sugar icing fan)

Tired but only from fun antics I gave baby bump and Sinead a kiss goodbye before she headed home.

Make sure you keep an eye out for the new video and let me know below if you have had any fun days with your best friend recently, what did you get up to?

Until next time,

Love & Hugs,

Alice May, Sinead and Bump

Pancake Thursday!

Before you all run to panic stations do not worry I did have pancakes on Tuesday. My Mum made lovely savory crepes for dinner and Belgium chocolate pancakes for desert but my sister was not home so didn't get any, because of this she decided to make American style pancakes for the 2 of us on Thursday!

I woke up to see she had the batter complete(perfect for me- no cleaning up!) so we proceeded to cook the yummy goodness. I love this part especially the American style as they are much easier so control(none of this spreading around the pan business)

Before we knew it, it was eating time!

We didn't feel like making Mum's Belgium chocolate sauce so we settled for lemon and sugar as well as the maple syrup I brought back from Canada.
This was my first helping (the butter gives such a nice flavour, sweet & savory if you will)

I had about 5 pancakes(naughty!) rotating between lemon & sugar and maple syrup & butter and they were divine! Kept me full until dinner too(it was a late breakfast so more of a 'brunch')

So there is my second day of pancake eating in 1 week(but surely one must have both kinds!?)
As for the recipe I'm pretty sure my sister just googled 'American style pancake recipie' I know that it did include sugar in the recipe but seeing as we were adding enough sugar after the cooking process she chose to leave it out.

Until next time I hope you're all well and I'll talk to you soon!
