We love pasta and we love Bella Italia so it’s great news that they have just introduced, for a limited time only, their new #TeamPasta Wednesday! From now until further notice, every Wednesday is THE day to get to Bella Italia and enjoy not one but TWO of their great pasta dishes for just £10! Obviously you can share them and don’t HAVE to have them both yourself! Mind you… 80% of Bella Italia’s fans said they were on #TeamPasta, […]
I last took Jimmy to have his feet measured about 2 months ago and he was, as he had been for 12 months, still a size 5. Florence is just like him and their feet don’t grow for ages then have a little spurt meaning suddenly all the shoes don’t fit! At my Mum’s the other day, where we’ve been staying for Easter with just his trainers and wellies for him to wear, I noticed his toes were red and […]
In February we used the Sainsbury’s Panna Cotta kit to make A Valentine’s Day desert and we were very impressed with the results. Just add milk and cream to the £1.20 packet mix and then you’re left with a rather wowing ‘home-made’ desert. Cheat cooking at its best and most inexpensive! We had high hopes then for the Creme Brûlée kit (£1.20 also) from the same range and over Easter were very pleased to find they were not unfounded. […]
I, like everyone I’m sure, suffer with the holiday blues. When I worked with my friend Craig he used to wait for me to come in on my first morning back after a jolly, give me something to drink, walk me outside for a pep talk and then baby me for the whole day because he knew I was likely to burst into tears… I always think of my pal Craig on a first day back and today is no […]
A couple of weeks ago we were supposed to take part in a Princess Twitter party to celebrate some of the new jewellery from Icon Live and cake making products from Fiddes Payne to co-incide with the new Cinderella film. As it turned out some delivery issues meant we couldn’t join in on the actual party day but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been very much enjoying the products and using the cake making products Florence had super fun – who […]
For two years in a row I was a Haven Holidays ambassador for the blog which meant I was sent on two trips for the purpose of review. In 2013 we were sent to Rockley Park in Dorset and then last year we tried out their park in Hastings. We enjoyed the holidays so much that we actually went on two other Haven trips at our own expense to the resort closest to my Mum’s house in Norwich at Caister. […]
The children were recently sent some Cra-Z-Sand by Character Options and it has been a mega hit while we’ve been playing in the sunshine outside but… The best thing (and there’s lots to say about it), about Cra-Z-Sand, is that you can have it indoors too! It’s so like sand but also so unlike sand it really is crazy and we think it’s flipping awesome! Aimed at boys and girls aged 4+ this is the sand that you can mould and sculpt […]
I’ve written about this subject before but I feel so annoyed this morning that I feel I have to write something again. I am constantly flabbergasted at the fact people think my time is of no consequence and that they expect me to work for them for absolutely free! My blog is three things. 1) It is, essentially, my business. First and foremost. I’m not beating around the bush or playing about with it, this is how I earn my […]
As any parent will be very much aware, getting children to nestle down to sleep at a decent time each night can be a rather long and drawn out process. Tantrums, time wasting and midnight wake-ups; it can sometimes seem as if we’ve given birth to and raised creatures perfectly adapted to eking out the time before bedtime. There are a few ways that parents can minimise this tediousness however, with effects far beyond simply ensuring that mum and dad […]
It’s no secret that we’re massive fans of Bewilderwood, we’ve been telling everyone about it since our first visit 4 years ago and here we are again, shouting about how wonderful it is once more! I really don’t say it lightly when I say that Bewilderwood is one of the very best days out for the whole family. It genuinely, absolutely and marvellously is! Bewilderwood is reason enough alone to visit Norfolk and When we move back to our little part of […]
