Today, I read a post by a blogger friend of mine that made me really sad. I’ve met this lady in real life a few times and I know she is an amazing mother to her son. To think she is writing about failing as a parent made my heart sink. I know many of us…
Balabalboomboom! This week it has all been about Messy Monster, Zoe and Felix. If you don’t know who I’m talking about, then you haven’t been to Okido yet! Messy Goes To Okido joined the CBeebies line up this week, and we are completely hooked. My daughter has watched it over, and over and over again….
Welcome back to another update from my weight loss journey series, Thinking Thin. Things are very much back to normal this week after fish and chips at the seaside, and eating pizza with film crews. None of this has thrown me of course, and all my eating has been under control this week thanks to…
Best Sofa to Buy For Your Personality Choosing the best sofa for your home is a big decision and one you need to spend some getting right. Buying large sofas for the family should be a relatively easy, exciting experience. But, more often than not, the process of purchasing a couch is much more frustrating…
I know that some people can either take or leave Halloween, but it’s a time of year that I really enjoy. I’m lucky enough to live in a community that really embraces the idea of trick or treat and the rules are really quite simple. If your house is decorated in ghosts and ghouls and…
We couldn’t let the bank holiday go by without a trip to our favourite theme park, Drayton Manor. If you caught up with this post, you’ll already know we squeezed in a trip to the beach. We have visited the park a lot over the summer as we have Drayton Manor season passes and are very…
That’s it, summer is well and truly over folks. Once the last bank holiday has passed, autumn starts to creep in doesn’t it? The mornings are crisp and fresh, the leaves start to turn brown and the nights are noticeably darker.
I have been troubled for a long time about the conflict in Syria and news of the many refugees that make the life threatening trip across the Mediterranean to seek asylum in various parts of Europe. Images of children being dragged from boats in the dead of night have haunted me for sometime, and are…
We are huge fans of Innocent Smoothies, I love them, the kids love them and even Daddy has been known to have the odd one or two. We heard that there was going to be an Innocent Fruit and Veg Fest at their very prestigious Fruit Towers and decided to head on down to London…
Firstly readers, I must apologise that my Thinking Thin post is late this week. I like to share my weight loss update on a Thursday, but my schedule has been completely out of the window buy this and my house turning into a TV studio for the majority of my working days this week. This…
Over the summer, Princess and I were invited to a very special sports event hosted by Soreen. We are huge fans of Soreen Malt Loaf, and we also know how important it is to encourage kids to be active so we jumped at the chance to head along to Loughborough University and find out what…
How do Dad’s get dressing kids so wrong? Or in our case, how does Daddy get dressing his girls so wrong? Why does filling the nursery bag with a spare set of clothes seem to be a constant bone of contention? It seems I have to be responsible for this stuff as Daddy simply cannot…
The teenager and I have recently been introduced to a fantastic designer website called Get The Label. This couldn’t have come at a better time with back to school being just around the corner. My son had wanted some new clothes, but didn’t want the hassle of going shopping for them. That leaves me to…
A few weeks ago I was invited on board the Royal Princess while it docked in Southampton. It was a wet day in August (fancy that!) and I met up with my blogging bestie, Kaz from Ickle Pickle’s Life and Travels, to join the ship for a guided tour and to attend the launch of…
I love my MacBook Pro. If you follow me on social media or know me personally you’ll know this was a big investment for me. Seeing as I was going to be working on my blog more and more and want to develop a freelance career in social media management it seemed like a pretty…
