My husband and I have been making an effort to spend more time together, to keep the love alive and all that. We have three children so the closest we get to being alone is when the boys are at school and we only have our daughter. One of the main interests we share is our passion for food and as we were both chefs prior to having our children we know what we like and we know the effort that goes into good food. We love sharing a moment over great coffee but thought we would expand our dining experiences and see what some of the local restaurants and cafes have to offer.

Cupz N' Crepes

Our first stop was Cupz N’ Crepes in Morpeth, NSW. We walked up and down the street filled with dining options and decided on what looked like your standard little cafe. We only chose to dine their because they had a sign out the front saying cake and coffee, scones and crepes. There was something we all liked.

We took a seat out the front so we had room for the pram and was greeted with table service! It is not often you see that around these parts so Cupz N’ Crepes were already exceeding our expectations. We were handed menus and given time to peruse our options. We decided on something completely different than what we intended on and ordered the Eggs Benedict (Mr C) and the Canadian Stack (Me). Iced coffee with cream to drink.

As our meals were put down in front of us, we were far from disappointed! There was flavour in every bite and each component was cooked to perfection. We could not fault the food. It was reasonably prices with the average meal costing $15. The iced coffees we ordered were what we felt a tad expensive at $6 a pop but oh my goodness they were good!Cupz N' Crepes

If you are looking for somewhere to eat with great food and a relaxing environment in the Hunter Valley than Cupz N’ Crepes is definitely worth trying.

Girls Day Out With Mr 3!

As you can probably tell by the lack of posts lately that I have been absolutely run off my feet, between studying for exams, assignments, looking after the kids, keeping the house semi-organised from being a complete shambles, organising dinners, the kids’ homework, sorting out our house, our holiday, etc. I have had no time for anything ‘fun’!

I decided as K (3) and I haven’t really had time to do anything alone recently I’d forget about all the shit I ‘need’ to do and just spend time with the little guy. We got a day that D was at school and C was at work where he should beand we took advantage of it. We had the ultimate girls day (yes I realise he is a boy) but we had so much fun.

He got a haircut (he loves getting it cut and spiked up); we bought him a new pair of shoes ($15 Slazenger sneakers from Spendless Shoes or something like that. What a BARGAIN!! And to top it off we went to an actual real café for lunch.

We dined at Cino’s in East Maitland – Greenhills.

The service was fantastic, food was great and the coffee was delicious.

I ordered a big breaky – Don’t be judging me I was freaking starving! – $17.90

K got chicken nuggets and chips – $7.90 which I might add was a waste of money. K was only interested in helping me devour my meal. I did find the prices a bit high but I think that’s the chef coming out in me (I know roughly what everything costs and how much profit they would have made). However the atmosphere was good and best of all it was kid friendly. K and I talked about loads of different things and he got really excited, I just loved the look he had in his eyes.

He was having fun and so was I!

This is something I am going to have to make time to do on a regular basis with the family, whether it is all of us at once or just one on one. It was almost therapeutic to actually sit, relax and just talk (yes I am aware I was talking to a 3 year old but gee has he got some interesting stories to tell)  ;p

Do you have regular dates with your husband/wife/partner? Kids?

What do you do to mix things up?
