When we went to Drusillas Park for the first time last year we absolutely fell in love with it! It was Jimmy’s first birthday and for the whole day he was able to just run around and not be confined to a buggy. The park is such that it is completely safe for a really small one to do this and everything just seems to be at a height which caters for all. It really is one of the best […]

We went on a mini holiday last weekend. We started in Brighton and moved to St Leonards before coming home via Kent to take a little trip down memory lane. We went for lunch in Eynsford which is somewhere my Mum remembers visiting as a child when my Grandpa played cricket for Wilmington. It was a lovely sunny day and after lunch I suggested we go and visit my Grandma and Grandpa’s old house before we drove back to London. […]

I’m not going to lie, breastfeeding was not easy for me to get started with and it has been problematic at times even as an old hand! After just a couple of days with my first baby my nipples felt (and looked) like they might be about to drop off, I later got mastitis and was so ill I just didn’t think I could carry on, then I had to express for hours on end… It was a fight but one which I won and […]

I’ve never really been the outdoorsy type of gal. There have been fleeting visits to the camping world when I was in my teens and Jonny and I attempted it once in a very unsuitable one lined tent which fell to pieces the moment it was up but mainly I’m a luxury type of holidayer. However, since having children, with finances being stretched and with their desire to try it, we have dipped our toes into the world of glamping […]

Last year I was invited by Colgate to a Teeth Tingling Dinner to find out more about Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste. I had a wonderful evening and came away with some of the amazing paste to keep me eating all the teeth displeasers I love. I’m a tooth grinder you see so I do suffer sometimes! Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief rocks! I’ve used it since and it really does make a difference. When I’ve used other pastes I can totally notice […]

The first time we went on a Haven holiday was this time last year when on our mission as 2013 ambassadors we visited Rockley Park in Dorset. We loved it so much that we then decided to save up tokens in the Sun (I found it difficult to buy such a newspaper but we enjoyed Haven so much and the deal was so great we decided it was worth it) so that we could try out the Haven in Caister which […]

Heinz salad cream is 100 years old! It was originally created by Charles Hellen, a brilliant manager who had been hand-selected by the Heinz family to lead the Heinz business in the UK, and who worked tirelessly for eight years to perfect the taste of Heinz Salad Cream for British palates. In 1914 the product was launched exclusively at Fortnum & Mason before becoming an instant hit with all ages across the nation. Even during times of war, Heinz Salad Cream was the Heinz sauce everyone relied […]

Every Mum has a few magic tricks up her sleeve to make life a little bit easier! A gadget here and there, a recipe that’s quicker than saying abracadabra or a tip for saving mess… I’m no exception! Here are some of mine! My Nutella Tiffin Cake recipe is excellent because there’s no cooking required! A bit of melting and hey presto, after a few minutes there’s a yummy cake in the fridge! It works brilliantly when you’ve forgotten to […]

If you’re like us then you’ll be waiting impatiently for the big bash for little people! Lollibop isn’t on until August 15th, 16th and 17th though so we’ve still a bit of a wait to go! However… There is a little build up party that you might just want to know about, especially if you have a little princess or pirate fan! On Sunday 6th July (my birthday weekend as it goes), Lollibop will be presenting – Pirate and Princesses on […]

I’m trying to eat more healthily at the moment and get a bit trimmer for summer so I am eating lighter and using more fresh ingredients with my summer recipe ideas. Britmums and Morrisons asking for summer recipes couldn’t have come at a better time then as I have been creating lots and this one, that I made last night, is one of my favourites! I created courgetti (healthier than spaghetti) with home made pesto, mushrooms, onions and tomoatoes and […]
