End of the Summer Holidays And Hello School September 2020! The last two weeks of the summer holidays flew by in a flash. I’d planned to update my weekly diary as per usual but for a few reasons just didn’t get round to it (hello pregnancy sickness you beast and also, a very miserly hello to an ever failing camera and a nearly dead laptop – thought it had the black screen of death but it resurrected enough to get […]

After all, it’s a big change for everybody when a new baby is born. […]
Drought-Proofing Your Garden Is Easier Than You Think Droughts are something that every passionate gardener fears. You worry that a lack of moisture is going to wreck all your hard work. Fortunately, though, you can fight back against prolonged dry spells during the summer using the following techniques. Carry Two Watering Cans At Once Okay, this piece of advice might sound a little silly, but it works really well. When you have two cans, you automatically increase the amount you’re […]
Mookie Fun – CurliGirls, Robo Kombat Balloon Puncher and Break the Board! Three brand new toys from Mookie are about to hit the shops in time for Christmas and we’ve lucky enough to have been some of the first families to try them out! CurliGirls, Robo Kombat Balloon Puncher and Break the Board were opened to much excitement – my kids were off the scale Christmas morning mode – and they’ve been keeping them mega entertained on all the rainy […]
Veggie Curry Under 500 Calories! After indulgences at the weekend I’m back to what some of my friends think is my extreme diet but actually… I don’t really mind it at all, especially when I get to eat yumminess like this. Basically I’m an all or nothing kind of gal & that’s why this, in the past, has always worked for me & hopefully still does. It’s kind of like the reverse 5/2 (diet for 5 off 2) but was […]
Adapting to Life’s Changes We all go through changes over the course of our lives. Some of them are exciting and looked forward to like a wedding or a baby being born. Some of them are sad and life-changing like a divorce settlement or a death in the family. We have no way of knowing exactly what will happen in our lives, but we do know that we will have to change and adapt to what comes our way. Acknowledgement […]

New Playmobil Dinos Range! It’s hard not to love playmobil, it’s one of those toys which will last a family forever and gets passed down through generations – so lovely are they that they could never just be discarded or unwanted. Jimmy at 8 is still very much into his pirates which he has had since he was about Raffie’s age and now, of course Raffie at 2 and a half is very interested too. Jimmy is very good at […]
