Tuesday Tune - Theme song from Pirates of the Caribbean.

G'Day lovely friends and welcome friends to NatashaInOz.com, my little bloggy home Down Under.
Today's #TuesdayTune has a bit of a Halloween flavour to it, since today is Halloween!

I am sure that many of us have seen the Johnny Depp movie Pirates of the Caribbean and as much as I liked the movie, I really loved the soundtrack even more!

YuMmY pUmKin MufFinS!

Even though the days are getting warmer Down Under I have been so inspired by the Autumn baking that is happening all over blogland that I decided to bake some pumpkin muffins!

I found this easy recipe on the Martha Stewart website and they are absolutely delicious! My son Big Al who does not really like pumpkin ate several of them and raved about how "Yummy" they were!

The recipe makes 12 HUGE muffins or 24 smaller ones.

You will need:

3/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour,
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour,
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice (I made my own with 1/2 tsp cinnamon,1/4 tsp ground ginger, 1/8 tsp allspice and 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups pumpkin puree (I found a place that sells American goodies and I bought a can of Libby's Pumpkin!

1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
3 large eggs
1 cup turbinado/demerara sugar sugar, plus 2 tablespoons more for sprinkling
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts

These muffins are so easy to make! Just preheat your oven to 180C/350F degrees. Brush muffin tins (each  with oil and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk flours, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda; set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk oil, pumpkin puree, yogurt, eggs, and 1 cup sugar to combine; add 1 cup walnuts and reserved dry ingredients. Mix just until moistened (do not overmix).

Divide evenly and spoon batter into muffin tins; sprinkle tops with remaining walnuts and sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan.

A Home Tour - My Mom Cave or "A Room of One's Own."

Welcome friends to Natasha In Oz. I am so thrilled that you have taken time out of your busy day to spend some time with me in my little corner of the world, Down Under!

Today I am so excited to be taking you on a little Home Tour!

My 'Mom Cave' is really our sitting room area. It is a room that is shared by everyone in the family so perhaps it is officially not a room of my own but it is the place where I relax, read, converse, decorate over and over again and just love being in.

Welcome to My Mom Cave!

This is the room that we use for entertaining.....

It is also the room where I sit down at night with my family to chat about our day.....

"...a woman must have money and a room of her own... "
— Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own

We watch TV in here at night too.

I don't often get to choose what to watch but this is one of my favourite shows to watch in my Mom Cave!

I often sit here by myself during the day with a cuppa and a magazine.

I am often re-decorating this room. I love creating little tablescapes and vignettes in my Mom Cave.

I change things around for the seasons and Holidays. Here is my mom cave at Easter.....

And here it is all decorated for Christmas!

I love my Mom Cave!

If you have shared any decorating ideas on your blog recently why not share them at tomorrow's Say G'day Saturday Linky Party!

You can link up old or new posts and they can be about anything and everything! Please be sure to come back on Saturday to join in with this weekend's party and to

Before I go I just want to thank all the lovely bloggers who host their linky parties each week!
