Happy Pancake Tuesday!
If you are like me, you just love pancakes and it does not matter if they are tiny and crispy as a paper or thick and small.
I have tried lots of different pancakes, plain ones, pancakes with lemon and sugar, pancakes with maple syrup, pancakes with fruit and yoghurt, pancakes with nutella and coconut, pancakes with banana, nutella and coconut, pancakes with blueberries and whipped cream, pancakes with ice cream, fruit and whipped cream. I have also tried pancakes with spinach, pancakes with ham and cheese, pancakes with shrimps, yes shrimps! The list is endless.
While I am writing all this, I can feel the cravings and the taste. And I realise it is a Pancake Tuesday and the shop will close in 30min! So now I have to go and get at least some of the things I had last year (as you can see on my last year's photo, just the ice cream was left in the fridge).
Happy Pancake Tuesday, let's spoil ourselves!

Party of the week - Mickey Mouse

Are you planning a party for your little one and have absolutely no idea what theme to decide on?

Every Friday from now on we will post one photo featuring party of the week. We started this on our Facebook page but we believe it would be handy to keep them all on our Blog as well as we could go back here and check the suggested ideas.

Party of the week is Mickey Mouse Party with one of the most recognizable cartoon characters in the world. Have a look at our idea with some of the Mickey Mouse party essentials. You will need table covers, paper plates, paper cups, some napkins and if you don't want to keep on Mickey Mouse theme only, you can easily mix and match them with both blue and black tableware. As for decorations you could get either letter banner or pennant banner and some balloons. To add to the fun get some Mickey Mouse ears or Mickey Mouse party hats, the kids just love them!

If you wish to give presents to your little visitors, why don't you get some Mickey Mouse loot bags and fill them with little treats, it could be either some pocket toys or pick n mix sweets.

So who is for Mickey Mouse party as your next themed party? Or maybe you already set your party with Mickey Mouse? Do you have any photos? Share them with us!

To get some of our Mickey Mouse party tableware and accessories, have a look on our website:
