A Sand Cake is a very old fashioned cake like a cross between a light sponge and a heavy butter cake . It makes for a wonderful birthday cake and can be made in large batches. It freezes really really well and is great iced, buttered or just plain on its own! Plus it has easy, basic ingredients that every kitchen will have, and it is very very economical to make!

I love this whole home tour (but the plaid stair runner is my favourite) Emily offers insight on the downside of quick renovations I like this store and the room design it inspired Oh Joy's office kitchen turned out pretty cute School has just started and I already feel lost in all the paperwork she brings home! I'll have make use of Jen's helpful organization tips and printables Erin and I get back In The Storyhouse this week talking about how bloggers get on "The List" (how do those bloggers get invited to fun parties and cool events?) and what reaction has been to our first two episodes. I hope you have a listen! If I didn't already have a camel-coloured cape, I'd totally be buying this one for the season. (P.S. I'm convinced, capes look good on everyone!) But I did buy this top and I love it! It feels flowy yet pulled together Aaaaand I bought this sweater too. I love the crossover hem. It looks great over fitted jeans Kelly has the butler...

New research funded by the National Institute for Health Research and the Medical Research Council has found a region in a preterm baby's brain that is pivotal to spontaneous neuronal bursts and strong brain connectivity. A new study by researchers from UCL and King's College London has located a specific a rea in a preterm baby's brain that is largely responsible for the generation of spontaneous neuronal bursts. These spontaneous, high-amplitude bursts of activity that occur in the brains of premature babies are critical for healthy brain development and researchers say that the area, called the insula, is essential to strengthening brain connections that will allow the baby to scaffold for further life experiences. Previous research has found that babies who don't have as much insular activity displayed in their brains are more likely to have poorer cognitive skills later in life, or even to develop cerebral palsy.
