We wanted to make something to eat for Easter time treats but needed the recipe to be simple and the method easy. I’m not a fantastic cook and although I often have desires to whip up something amazing it very rarely comes off so I like to stick to things which don’t require a great deal of skill. These Easter biscuits are perfect because they’re quick (apart from the chilling time) and super simple – even I’ve managed it so […]
A while back I reviewed the THX Wave Hello hair curler and I absolutely love it! I use it all the time and I even use it to straighten my hair too as my straighteners are so ancient! The curler, when clamped to a section of hair, can just be pulled straight down without winding hair round and it gets my hair lovely and straight! It does loads of different types of curls and waves (it’s intended use) and is […]
As you may know, we are big fans of ELC craft kits in our house, we can’t get enough of them! It’s great to make your own projects but sometimes there isn’t enough time or energy and they’re fabulous if you just want an afternoon of fun without any hassle. Everything you need for a project comes inside the kits and they’re suitable for a big range of ages. Florence does like to bespoke hers too so you don’t have […]
Most of the time I buy supermarket nappies. I buy them for one plain reason and that’s because they’re cheaper. The thing I have realised and what makes it a bonus, is that having tried all the different brands on the market at varying times too, they either do the job just as well or sometimes, even better! My supermarket brand of choice for nappies would have to be Asda. Do I write a lot of reviews for Asda? Yes […]
We’ve been using the Mamas and Papas Baby Bud this week which is their new dining booster chair suitable from age 6 months to 3 years. I wasn’t sure that we needed it but I was asked to review it and actually, now that I have, I won’t be using anything else for a while! It’s proved to be a really good item and both the children are getting use from it! When Jimmy started weaning we used a chair […]
The Easter holidays are about to be upon us and it’s always good to have some activities lined up to entertain the children so I thought I’d let you know the top three things we want to do this holiday! 1 Last year we visited Willows Farm in St Albans for their Easter Eggstravaganza and we had SO much fun! It was a lovely sunny day and we played in their sand pits, bounced on the inflatable slide and castle, […]
It’s nearly that time of year again! The Easter Bunny is due to make an appearance soon, the children will be off school and chocolate is going to be in plentiful supply! I love celebrating Easter, not because I am particularly religious but just because I love an excuse to get festive and have some fun with the little ones. Florence loves the Easter egg hunt so much that at other times of the year like Halloween, we have to […]
You know in the film ‘About a boy’ when he says ‘two people isn’t enough, what if something happens to one of them? You need three at least, you need back up’? Well that has always been on of the things I say when people want to know why I want a big family. I’m in the rare position of knowing what it feels like to be an only child while also knowing what it feels like to be one […]
Florence is far too grow up to sit in a high chair these days and most of the time flat-out refuses. I don’t blame her! She is small enough to fit in one because she’s so dinky but she’s too old really and feels like a baby. This does prove a bit of a problem when dining at tables though because she often can’t see over the top to eat! She’s not particularly short though, most of her friend’s can’t […]
I live in East London and although we had such a fantastic summer last year with the superb Olympics we hosted, I would say for a long time prior to the events we were a little sceptical about how it would actually benefit London, East London in particular, after the event. ‘Legacy’ was a word we heard often but not really much was released as to what it would actually mean. Even on spoof documentary ‘Twenty Twelve’ it was spoken […]
