When we went to the Foodies Festival at Clapham Common we discovered this new company called Kitchen Nomad. It’s basically a company which sends out different food boxes each month filled to the brim with delicious treats, recipe ideas from chefs and interesting information about the food in the box and where it comes from. Every month the theme of the box is chosen by a country and it’s a simple, fun and interesting way of eating your way around the […]

It’s summer holidays time and that only means one thing! Bring on the fun! With six whole weeks at home, it is up to us as parents to build entertainment for our little ones! Days out and entertaining children can be super expensive though so as well as the odd trip out to a theme park for a treat we need to do some brilliant things at home too! We’re taking part in the Asda #SaveSummer challenge! This means that every week […]

I love a holiday and this year I’ve had a few lovely trips with my little ones which has been divine. They don’t always have to be expensive, indeed we’ve been on some very inexpensive stay-cations but we have had quality family time resulting in family fun which is the most important thing about a holiday. For me, a holiday is all about just being with family and probably my greatest holiday ever was the one when Jonny and I […]

Its been in the news a lot this week about the poor girls who have been arrested and charged in Peru for drug smuggling. Yes, I did say poor girls. Did they do it? I don’t know but I expect they were, at the very least, cajoled and enticed into it. I think its entirely possible that they were, as they say, kidnapped and threatened but obviously I couldn’t know for sure if they are telling the truth – to […]

I’ve written a lot about Heinz and how we like their products. I’m even growing tomatoes (currently STILL green) for the Heinz ‘grow your own’ challenge and intend to make something yummy with the produce. A home-made sauce or soup perhaps? I’ll have to see how many I get! Its all very well making your own and fun too sometimes but on certain occasions all you need is a quick fix and opening a can of beans for beans on […]

I have a very good friend who is currently pregnant! It’s so exciting and I can’t wait to throw her a baby shower… Although that won’t be for a while yet! It doesn’t feel that long ago since I was pregnant and I remember how exhausting it is so I’ve been telling her to rest and relax and trying to pass on things which I think will help her do that! I’ve just heard about a new idea which sounds […]

I wish I didn’t love bread but I do. I wish I didn’t love bread with butter as that would at least cut some of the calories but alas, I love it! Bread and butter. Could there be anything lovelier than a fresh French stick with some salted butter? I could never go on the Atkins diet that’s for sure, the thought of cutting out bread is not appealing. I’d rather eat nothing than not be able to eat bread… […]

I’ve spoken often of my love of the Tiny Love range of toys for children. There’s just something about them and from the very first play gym we bought when Florence was about three months old, to replace the rubbish one she had, I have always gone back to the brand again and again. They make colourful yet tasteful toys, toys which last for ages and most of all ones which children love and engage with! We’ve been trying out […]
