Violife Vegan Cheese! My tween has decided that she would like to be vegan and as a start wants to try out the lifestyle by giving up meat and meat products for lent. To see if she can cope. You see she likes to eat meat for the taste and experience, she just doesn’t like the idea of it and with her not being terribly adventurous with food in general it has made me wonder if she might not be […]
Get Glam With A Hair Make-Over! There’s nothing like walking with fresh hair out of a special hair salon with your hair preened by a pro, and this week Florence and her friend were treated to a blow dry so that they could feel a million dollars and enjoy the pamper! Flo is so good at make-up but she’s been wanting to have her hair done professionally so that she can get an idea of how to do it herself […]
Package Holidays: Do I Still Need to Take Out Travel Insurance? Package holidays are back. And they could have COVID-19 to thank for their change in fortunes. Since the mid-2000s and the boom in independent travel booking, the proportion of holidaymakers booking package holidays has been in steady decline. In 2019, the figure stood at just 39%. But according to figures from UK travel agent association ABTA, holidaymakers may be having a change of heart about packages. 27% of people […]
3 Fantastic Gifts To Purchase Your Teenage Daughter Teenage daughters can be a handful to raise, but are wonderful people who deserve the world, and also deserve to be a little spoiled for their birthday or another occasion worth celebrating. However, it can sometimes be tough to think of what gifts to purchase a teenage daughter even if you were once one yourself. After all, a teenage girl of thirteen will no doubt want to enjoy playing and enjoying herself […]
Wroxham Barns For February Half Term 2022 – Lambing Live! Lambing Live is happening right now at Wroxham Barns for February Half Term and after our (very cold so wrap up warm) visit this week we are yet again singing the praises of how they run this fabulous resource for children! It’s not just a jolly on the farm with play equipment (indoor and out), a fun park (with all inclusive rides) and for this school holiday a maternity wing […]
Pensthorpe And Poo For February Half Term! I wouldn’t ordinarily put the words “poo” and “Pensthorpe” together, Pensthorpe Natural Park being the antithesis of poo, however, this half term they’re embracing the plops in a big way! Pensthorpe, always a favourite with not just us, but actually anyone I’ve ever spoken to who’s visited, has geared itself up for the holidays with not one, but TWO trails especially for the school break and the theme? It’s all about poo! What […]
Valentine’s Gifts To Make Your Heart Pitter Patter! It it commercial? Yes! Is it lovely to love though? Yes, yes, yes! While some don’t put much store into gifting loved ones for Valentine’s Day, I have to say, I rather go in for it. Both to offer my own love and, hopefully to receive a card (at least)! I’d be very humpy if I didn’t get appreciated over Valentine’s Day and though in years gone past my husband has very […]
Naked Nutrition Collagen Protein! They say you have to choose your bottom or your face after 30 and I have to say, I think they’re right! After having my first child when I reached that heady age of three decades I put on a bit of weight, of course, and when I lost it I noticed immediately that my skin had lost elasticity and a bit of va va voom! While I hadn’t enjoyed being the plumper me it had […]
Do You Have A Wicked Uncle?! We all had those aunts and uncles who didn’t know what to buy us as kids. Through no faut of their own, generous as they were trying to be, we’d end up with gifts that were very definitely never going to be played with or used. I’m sure they tried very hard, as hard as we had to show glee on our faces when opening a hand bag (me aged 7) or a toy […]
Posie’s Honeybee Themed First Birthday Party! Posie Pamela Honeybee turned one last week and of course and as always when it comes to me and parties, we had many celebrations which were honeybee themed! An afternoon tea for friends, another for family and a celebration on the day which also had lots of honeybee elements to it! Here’s what we got up to celebrating Posie turning one with all the Honeybee love!
