Week two and we started off very tiredly after our wedding weekend away and picking up Florence from her Spanish holiday but we were all back together again and ready to make some fun.

For me it’s always been inexpensive cleaning products, bargainous party supplies and little bits and bobs to keep the kiddos entertained. You can often pick up branded food items at a fraction of the RRP and it’s my go to for anything like cake tins, or batteries. What I haven’t, in the past, considered it for, is clothing. I did know they made it but […]
Kids Daily Essentials With Naked Nutrition! My12 year old has always found food a bit of a chore. He doesn’t yet take great pleasure in eating and thinks of it more as a necessity than enjoyment so getting him to stop doing something else, in order to sit and eat, is always hard work. And yet he’s super active, very sporty and needs fuel. To add to this, he’s really little and having had numerous hospital appointments about his height […]
