If you had come into my kitchen last night you would have been pretty convinced you had stepped into the Bake Off tent! Honestly it was like a serious production line of gingerbready goodness!!! I wasn't just cracking out 100s of little christmas gingerbread trees for no reason, we have a fundraiser for Rainbows and Guides tonight and a bit of festive gingerbread always goes down well. Ignore the fact that the sign says stars, this was my intention until I saw the tree!!
Recipe:
- 2tsp Ginger
- 60g Brown sugar
- 75g Butter
- 175g Plain Flour
- 3 1/2 tbsp of Golden Syrup
Add the Butter, Sugar and Golden Syrup into a pan and cook until they are melted. In a mixing bowl add the flour and ginger. Add the warm mixture and stir together. Once in a ball, wrap in cling film and leave to cool for 30 minutes (I popped mine in the fridge). After 30 minutes roll out to about the £1 coin size. Use your chosen cutter.
Pop into the oven for between 10 - 15 minutes (depending on the size) - take out and leave to cool. They will go hard while they are cooling so don't worry if they are still a little soft when you take them out of the oven. Add some icing to jazz them up a bit and serve!
Hope you enjoyed this little recipe. As I find some I will be sharing some more christmassy recipes in the lead up to the festive period!

Hello my lovelies!
I hope that you are all doing well. I can not believe that 2 months has passed since I sat and put finger to keyboard to chat to you all. This year is absolutely flying by, I can not believe that we are almost in December... It doesn't seem like 5 minutes since we sat playing pie face on New Year's Eve and here we are, nearly time for the festivities to begin again.
To be honest I think the break away from blogging has done me good. Life has been hectic as ever and I think with everything that has happened over the last 12 months... Grandad being really ill, planning a wedding, getting married, planning a honeymoon, my brother getting married, going on honeymoon it's just been too much and something had to give. To be honest, I posted a while back to say I was at a point with my blog that I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do any more or where I wanted to take it. However, I think the break has done me good. I have actually found myself over the last few weeks thinking about blogging, content and the like. I've not dipped out of the world all together - I've been over on Instagram so if you follow me on there (@mybeautifulforever) you will have seen what I have been up to (and what I've been eating haha).
So.. The last couple of months..
Well I had my graduation for my post grad course I was completing for the last year. I now hold a post graduate certificate in health care leadership. The graduation was very different and low key to what I have been used to but it was good that Adam got to see me graduate - especially with all the hard work I had to put in doing it and planning a wedding too!
To be honest, that is about it... I wish I has lots of exciting news to share... I'm getting my butt organised and will be back - regularly! I am in the process of working out how often and when I am going to post but I will let you know as soon as I decide - I am thinking Monday, Wedneday, Friday with maybe a bonus weekend on either day...
Thanks for sticking around... I hope we can continue to grow this little community and gain some new friends along the way too! Take care xxx

At the end of October, Grandad celebrated his 90th Birthday. The last 12 months have been a really tough time for us as a family, grandad has spent most of it away from home, either in hospital or respite care and was actually in hospital on the day of his birthday, however they did let us bring him out for a little party at home with cake and nibbles. He is back home now which is lovely however we have been hit again with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia which has been really tough but we will pull together as a family as you do in these times.
(Isn't he just the cutest)
