Sometimes Princess and I like to sneak of and get a few hours to ourselves. She really benefits from having one to one time away from her little sister. She has really struggled with her jealousy being only 3, so having time with just Mummy helps her feel more secure. A little bird told us…
We were all really excited about being invited to the In The Night Garden Party back in April, as not only did this mean hanging out with Upsy Daisy and Iggle Piggle but it also meant a trip to CBeebies Land at Alton Towers Resort. You already know that we love a good day out,…
When the opportunity arose for me to take the leap from the 9-5 to become a freelance blogger, it was a no brainer really. With a demanding young family requiring so much of my energy having the flexibility of being able to work for myself was invaluable. Even though it was a great opportunity, it…
When my son first arrived into the world, I was overjoyed on so many levels. I was so happy to have a boy, due to the disastrous relationship I had experienced with my own Mother. I hoped that having a son would mean a clean slate for me. Perhaps it would protect me in someway from…
I went to a conference recently to speak to a group of Female Entrepreneurs about how to blog. I haven’t spoke in front of an audience like that for a couple of years, so I was feeling a little nervous and lacking in confidence as I boarded the train to Birmingham that day, I can…
Since the Clangers made their return to children’s television on Cbeebies, my daughter has been hooked. She’s really enjoyed getting to know Mother Clanger, Tiny and Small, and of course the Soup Dragon.

My First Cloudbabies Baba Pink was such a big hit with the girls in our house, when we were offered the chance to see what they thought of the new plush miniatures it was a no brainer really.

Last week it was our 4th wedding anniversary and it coincided with Jamie’s Italian inviting us along for a complimentary meal. I couldn’t believe what perfect timing it was, and I thought it would make a lovely place to celebrate such an important occasion. Now, with the girls being so small we haven’t left them…
I’ve always thought buying a house is a pretty daunting challenge. There are so many things to consider and it’s such a large amount of money to spend, especially when you consider all the interest you’ll pay too. Despite the sums of money involved we spend very little time looking at what we’re going to…
A while ago I wrote a series of posts called Thinking Thin. They documented the success of my weight loss journey over 2/3 months. Then I fell of the wagon. Familiar with anyone? It was directly related to incidents in my life that affected my confidence and self esteem, and it’s taken me a long…
My Little Pudding recently turned one, so when Wicked Uncle got in touch to see if we were interested in reviewing any toys, I was there like a shot. Yes please!! Now these guys make some pretty mighty claims, and I was pretty keen to find out if they were in fact The Worlds Best…
