Healthy Nutty Ice Cream Bars – Recipe! How to make home made Snickers ice creams in a much healthier way using Organic Wholefoods with only 5 ingredients. Tastes like a Snickers but is better for you! This might be one of the most delicious things ever. Still a treat, but a lot better for you than anything with refined sugars and much more filling and satisfying too! Add boiling water to just cover a packet of dates (not medjool, just […]
Dearest Raffie, Now You Are Eight! Dearest Raffie, Our most wonderfully gorgeous and smiley eight year old, wow! How did that happen?! It feels like not so long ago we were battling to get you into the world with days of labour, forceps and then, finally, a C-Section delivery which saw me only hold you for a few seconds before they whisked you away and I asked Daddy to go and be with you. I remember seeing your face and […]
Kikidex Magnetic Drawing Board! The Kikidex range may be small, but boy is it mighty! Three different products, all of which appeal to me for my younger children and to boot, they each come with a fantastic price tag! Firstly, let me tell you what they all are: It of course has the elements you would expect in a magnetic drawing board and coming in a range of colours will appeal to all children who get to choose their favourite […]
Tymo Curl Pro Plus and Porta Pro! Have you heard of TYMO BEAUTY yet?! Well, you’re going to want to! I have used many, many, MANY hair curlers over the years from primitive heated rollers from Boots back in the 90s, to more advanced (supposedly) options on the market today, with plenty of faddy bendy rollers, Velcro rollers and even the cord from my dressing gown in between. Some have worked better than others but the uniform element they have […]
The Start Of The Autum/Michelmas Term 2025! As always, never happy to see the end of the summer holidays and send my children back to school but this year hurts a bit more than any other. It’s not just that they’re going back, it’s that Posie is starting and for the first time there won’t be any more pre-school days in my house. I’ve loved being a pre-school Mummy and ending that chapter, this end of an era, well… It […]
Summer Holidays 2025 – Week 6! And then it was over… The last week of the holidays was spent not exactly as I’d have planned, we had sickness bugs and colds and did very little but despite the slowness, we still had fun. Last meet ups with friends, lots of trips to McDonalds (three in total and I’m not even sorry), and park trips in the rain. Sad to be home from our Menorca holiday and sad that this was […]
Summer Holidays 2025 – Week 5! What a week! Marred only by the small fact we had to actually leave Menorca and come home (sob)! We enjoyed most of it on holiday and having the best time ever. Our hotel was so much fun for the children, with such lovely areas to sit and be quiet as well and the beach, which the hotel is basically ON, was just the best. Oh how we will miss the eating, drinking, being […]
Summer Holidays 2025 – Week 4! Well, a mammoth day getting ready, finishing up worky projects and getting the house in a suitable state to receive my friend coming in to feed the cat (as well as all the packing) and we were off to Menorca for our first abroad family holiday in 3 years! And boy were we glad to get on that plane – Eating, drinking, being merry, sand, sun and fun!
Prezzo Italian Kings Lynne! Prezzo Italian, as Prezzo has recently re-branded to show their Italian roots in full Mediterranean glory, has just had a brilliantly cosmopolitan revamp in decor when it comes to their Kings Lynn branch and, with its lush new make-over, we were invited to come and sample some of the delights on offer in the much loved Italian eaterie. We don’t have a Prezzo in Norwich (more’s the pity), but have visited in other parts of the […]
Summer Holidays 2025 – Week 3! We began the week already camping in Cromer, because we started the holidays on a Wednesday I’m doing our weekly diaries Wednesday to Tuesday which feels odd but here we are! So we went camping on Tuesday and had a fantastic time despite the camp site (as I have always known it being just “the camp site”) being run in a very strange way where tents have to be alongside the road and no […]
