I’ve been out in my Mum’s garden this morning to photograph how beautiful it looks. Today is meant to be ‘the great storm day’ and while it is certainly wind swept out there I’m not sure I’d consider it quite the stormy brew we were promised in the weather reports! In one respect it’s a shame as I think my Mum’s garden would look very dramatic under those conditions but with dew drops and ever hopeful to ripen fruit it […]
When we were at the Baby Show Emily from family Four Fun directed us to the Spilly Spoon stand, She has reviewed one in the past and she told me that they are absolutely superb, she keeps it in her bed side table at all times so invaluable did she find it! The Spilly Spoon is basically a spoon to administer baby medicine but it promises to not spill and be easy to use… Sounds good! I never give Florence […]
What would you say to a puppy being sent into space? Oh no! Doesn’t that sound too terrible? What would you say if you could see a video of it and the puppy loved it and landed safely? Take a look! Ok, so it wasn’t exactly a real puppy but it was Teska, the robotic puppy! Doesn’t sound too terrible after all does it? In fact sounds really cool! Is really cool! I saw Teska in July at a Christmas […]
Every household with someone over the age of 60 is entitled to help with their heating and will receive a winter fuel allowance. They don’t all need it of course as some are still working and others are in a perfectly capable financial position but I’m happy with that. If it’s means tested then some people who do need it will slip through the net and it’s far easier and safer to keep it the way it is ensuring those […]
It’s not QUITE Halloween yet but this weekend we’ve been gearing up for it! We’re staying at my Mum’s and Daddy will be back at work for the actual 31st so we thought we’d have a bit of Halloween fun with him before he goes! we’ve made a witches brew tiffin cake, carved a pumpkin and got all dressed up! I went into the City yesterday and found an amazing bargain in ELC who had this Halloween witch’s outfit for […]
When we were at The Baby Show Florence wore a T-Shirt which was made for me by TShirtPrinting.net. They are a professional T-Shirt printing service and they also do hoodies, sweatshirts and workwear. They asked me if I’d like a T-Shirt with any design I liked so I chose for them to use the wording from my blog header. I asked for it to be pink and to fit Florence then left the rest up to them. Two days later […]
We went to The Baby Show yesterday because we wanted to see some of the companies we’ve been working with recently. I used to love going to the show but the past couple of times prior to this weekend and I’d got a bit disheartened. It felt over crowded and just full of leaflets. I liked going before for lots of reasons and the freebies were good! Little trial sizes of things which came in handy were often handed out […]
I used to be very crafty when I had the time. I even used to make cards and sell them! I would spend hours making embellishments for them and I really enjoyed it but when I had Florence the time just disappeared and my card making boxes are all packed away now. I did briefly get them out for my wedding invitations but my Mum ended up doing most of the donkey work in the end because I just couldn’t […]
For us dining out often means an Italian restaurant. It’s my favourite style of eating with olives, breads and cold meats to nibble before sinking into a pasta dish – so bad but oh it can be so good cant it! I do wish I didn’t love bread and pasta so much but there we are. I do! And I absolutely love a good Italian meal! It’s also pretty easy with the children who like to pick at bits and […]
Do you remember a while back I went on a sandwich making masterclass with Warburtons Bread? It was SO awesome and I came second in the competition (I maintain that I was robbed and should have come first for my amazing creation on account of the fact that I am a novice but it was super tasty)! Well… To keep my hand in the sandwich making business Warburtons sent me some more of their yummy bread for the children and […]
