My orange cake

I have been making this very easy and tasty orange cake for years.  Over the years I have decreased the amount of sugar that I put in it, just because I don’t think that it needs too much sugar.  Don’t worry, there is still sugar in it, just a bit less then when I started…

• Hiding Lil Elf • This is exactly how I feel today! After the mock exam early this week (which went well btw) my body has decided to give up a little. I have hardly slept for two days and have a terrible headache and snotty nose 😐 not ideal when there is more revision to be done and lots of suitcases to be packed for our holidays. But we will power through (we, because James and his family are a great support!!) and in a weeks time this will all be behind us and it will be family time and no more studies for the rest of the year ☺️ . . . . . #lilelf #littleelf #christmas #revision #studentandmom #silasaonghuskelly #hiding #hellopomclothing
• Nursery Christmas Event • I took a break from revision this morning to go to JJs Christmas Event at nursery. Very proud mamma moment when he played Joseph during the kids singing Away in a manger 🎄 Now back to my coffee and reading. Mock exam tomorrow, after which I’ll be meeting up with a bestie, so at least I have something to look forward to 😉 . . . . #christmas #merryandbright #photobooth #jamesheralvurkelly #christmastime #myboy #motherhood #revision #givemecoffee
• These Guys • Sitting here sipping coffee, another long night ahead of me trying to get my head around anatomy and physiology. These guys will be heading to the Faroe Islands in one weeks time and I will have a few days to myself to revise for my exam before heading up to join them for Christmas. Can not wait for family time with ZERO studying 😉 . . . . . #family #studentmidwife #silasaonghuskelly #jamesheralvurkelly #motherhood #motherofboys #crazylife #familyportraits
• Sunday • I stopped revising at 22:00 last night but then I just did a liiiiiittle bit more and before I knew it it was 2:00 in the morning 😕 so I am tired today. We had a slow start to the day, JJ went to Sunday school whilst I went to church. Daddy took Silas and Suzie for a long walk. Now we are preparing lunch and then it will be revision again. I am sincerely hoping that some of this revision is sticking to my brain 🧠 . . . . . #revision #studentmidwife #jamesheralvurkelly #sunday #slow #tired #mumfirst #motherhood
• Enough • That’s it, I’ve had enough for one day! Time for bed and to continue the revision again tomorrow! Oh and this is what most pictures of Silas look like 🤣 . . . . . #overandout #done #enough #goodnight #silasaonghuskelly #motherhood #revision #studentmidwife #bedtime
• Bedtime story • The boys got a new book (second hand) from the little elf who stays in our house during December. We love the stories about Katie Morag. In tonight’s story was this lovely illustration of Katie’s mum breastfeeding their baby and it made me so happy to see. Once again, the more society is exposed to breastfeeding the more acceptable it will be. . . . . . #katiemorag #normalisebreastfeeding #morethanjustfood #motherhood #storytime
