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 […]

We are off on holiday in a few weeks time and Florence has been desperate for a suitcase on wheels that she can pull behind her like the grown ups. It was rather lucky then that I was sent a suitcase from PlayAway to review! When I got it out of the packaging she exclaimed ‘I was going to put this on my Christmas list, I can’t believe its here already!’ Well, with a first impression like that it’d be […]

This time last year we went to our first Foodies Festival when it was held in Battersea Park. Since then we have become big fans of the festival because its such a great day out for the whole family and this past weekend we visited Battersea Park once again, for this year’s ‘Feast’! We enjoyed another brilliant day trying new foods, sampling delicious drinks (of both the soft and alcoholic variety) and just soaked up the atmosphere while we listened to […]

We’ve been lucky enough to have been bloggers for the Lollibop Festival for the past few years now and it just continues to get better and better. We had an absolutely superb weekend and as everything I have been writing about for the last few months became a reality, we enjoyed every single second! Other people moaned about the queues but I have to say that with the festival being at capacity (15 THOUSAND PEOPLE) and queues for things like […]

If you are visiting the Lollibop Festival this weekend then we might just be able to help you out with a few hints and tips! We went yesterday and had an absolutely brilliant time but we definitely worked out a few things by the end of the day that we will use when we visit again on Sunday! Top Top #1: Get your face painted as soon as you arrive and before the queues get big. They do move quickly […]

When I was five my parents parted ways and my single Mum decided that she would do her very best to always take me on holiday every single year. Despite having little money and nobody to help her financially she always stuck to her guns and I was fortunate enough to have many wonderful trips abroad just me and her. Some of those holidays were utterly amazing but the holidays that stick out as my fondest memories are those that […]
