Happy Easter!

I know it's not quite Easter Sunday yet, Reader, but I thought I'd email ahead of time so you don't miss this! If you fancy making some hot cross buns over the Easter weekend, then I have just the recipe for you 👇 I've been making these at Easter for years, and they're a winner in my home. "The taste... Mum! It's so special!" exclaimed my youngest son Ben the other day, when I'd made these for the video. "What is it?" he went on to ask... "I love these spices!" Now if you had ever met Ben,...

Hi Reader, As promised, I'm emailing to let you know that there's a new recipe on the channel... This one shows you how to make delicious gluten free cheese balls. The correct name for these is "Pao de Queijo", and they're originally from Brazil, I believe. They're such a success in my home that I'm 100% confident you'll love them! I mean, look at these... don't they look irresistible (even with my poor photography skills lol!)? You can click here to watch the video and get the full recipe. I...

Happy Monday Reader, Quick email to let you know there are two new videos published on the channel: 1-ingredient buckwheat bread Pita bread I really wish I was a better photographer... my pictures don't do the food justice at all! But I'm just a mum good at cooking gluten free food - not a pro with the camera lol! Anyway, back to the recipes... Last week's video shows you how to bake pita bread. I don't know about you, but I love these little flatbreads - and they make such a nice, easy...

Happy New Year Reader! I know I'm 13 days late... but better late than never, right? How did you start 2026? I hope it's all going well so far. It's time for me to give you a little update on my new business building :-) First, let me tell you the scary stuff I did just before the year ended... I deleted more than FOUR THOUSAND email subscribers... ...and closed down my Facebook group of 2600 people... Honestly, my heart was pounding when I did this. I took some screenshots, just to...

Winding road through snowy, barren landscape

I'm coming to the end of this road, Reader... Soon you'll get no more emails from me (maybe that's a relief lol!). After months of umming and ahing... ...and weeks of trying to pivot whilst still keeping a few toes and fingers in the make money online niche... I'm finally moving on for real. "If Easy and Gluten Free is THE thing, then you cannot do anything other than that" were my mentor's words yesterday. And he's right. The time has come for me to choose and go all in. So what does this...

Tea

People drive me CRAZY at times! You might relate to this,Reader... Yesterday we were sitting in my sister's living-room, sipping a nice cup of afternoon tea... Kids were playing in the background, having a good time... It was gloomy outside, and lovely and cozy inside... All good so far, right? And then, out of the blue, my sister gets on the war path! "So how's your online 'stuff' going?" she asks, her voice loaded with skepticism as she says "STUFF" (notice how she never calls it "work" or...

There's nothing more discouraging than to compare yourself to others who are way ahead of you. I know this - and yet I fall into this trap more often than I care to admit. The other day, I wrote to you about how exciting it is to build a new business... But that's only half the story. It's exciting, for sure. But it's also hard. If you're having a bad day, I'm right there with you Reader. This morning I found myself staring at my YouTube stats for my easy and gluten free channel... ... the...

Get things done!

Nearly 7pm here in my part of the world... And I'm in trouble, Reader... Pizza's in the oven. We eat in 10 minutes. And I haven't written my email to you yet! I broke my own rule this morning and got distracted instead of doing the important tasks first. So now I'm running late, tired, uninspired, and not proud of myself at all. But there's an important lesson here, that should help you. It's a simple trick I can share, that will make you fiercely productive and help you move forward faster....

If there's one thing I've had to learn on my online journey it's this: You need to get comfortable with blowing your own trumpet... Those who make it are the ones who can show proof of their results. Not just money results (at first, you don't have those). But results, any results, any proof that you are indeed who you say you are and do what you say you do. There are so many lies out there that it's very hard to know who to trust. So if you don't show as much proof as possible, it's really...

What's your VISION?

Building a business is exciting! I got a reminder of this just now when my son texted me: "I'm doing some exciting stuff can't wait to tell you about it" he says... His excitement is coming right through the WhatsApp waves, isn't it? And you know what? I get it, because I'm all hyped up too right now! A few weeks ago I decided to go all in with my passion business, Easy and Gluten Free (read this email if you want to know more about that)... And I'm rediscovering how truly great it feels to...
