Las Iguanas invited us to their restaurant in Nottingham this week to check out the new menus, including what’s on offer for kids. Las Iguanas is a South American restaurant & bar that I used to visit before having the girls. I hadn’t really thought about it being a family friendly restaurant to take kids to…
We enjoy eating out as a family, and it always features on our list of things to do when we are on holiday. During our weekend away visiting Warwick this was no exception and when we found out there was a Pizza Express just down the road from our hotel, it seemed like the perfect choice…
Aruba is one of the lesser known islands in the Caribbean just off the coast of Venezuela. For some reason it’s not quite as popular as it’s neighbours in the Lesser Antilles such as Trinidad & Tobago or Antigua even though it’s just as stunning as a holiday destination.
Kiddyum got in touch a few weeks ago to see if we would be interested in testing their frozen meal range for children. As a busy parent I do use ready prepared meals from time to time. Sometimes the day doesn’t quite go to plan, or the grown ups are going to be eating separately, so…
Sausages are a big feature in our family life. I think my daughter proclaimed them as her favourite food as soon as she could master the word. They typically feature in our weekend breakfasts and I also have a huge fondness for them from my childhood.
These last few weeks I’ve been back on my weight loss mission. I’ve been sharing weekly updates of my challenges and how I’m trying to overcome them in my series, Thinking Thin. If you’ve haven’t stopped by yet, you can catch up with all the posts right here. I’m sure you’ll find some nuggets of…
There are some huge pizza fans in this house. It has to be by son and husbands favourite food by a mile. So obviously when Chicago Town Pizza got in touch to ask us to try out their new Deep Dish Taste Legends pizza, I knew the boys wouldn’t say no.
If you follow my blog regularly you’ll already know we are partial to a family meal out. As it was my birthday this week, it could not go by without some family dining. We had been invited to Millers Barn Beefeater, which was perfect timing given my birthday celebrations. Millers Barn Beefeater is situated just…
I think one of the biggest challenges for a busy parent is providing their children with a healthy balanced diet. It is something I struggle with almost daily along side juggling the demands of busy family life. I know when I’m at work, having just finished the 9-5, coming home and providing a good home…
We were lucky enough to be invited along to the launch of Brewers Fayre’s new play area along with local families and bloggers at the Castlewood restaurant in near Mansfield the other week. We were given a friendly welcome at the door, and instantly the whole family were made to feel at home. The restaurant…
Christmas is such an amazing time of year don’t you think? I love all the present buying (even though I can’t say I’m too fussed about wrapping), spending time with the family and enjoying a lovely feast together. Turkey anyone? For so many years I’ve been guilty of going overboard, with either presents or food…
Over the last few weeks Princess has been putting Organix Toddler snacks through their paces. She was sent a lovely box of Goodies to see what she thought, and she has really enjoyed giving them the toddler taste test.
I’ve not been writing about my weight loss journey recently as it became obvious I had become distracted. My focus had wavered and my thoughts had been crowded by things that were making me emotional and stressed. I am an emotional eater and when I am stressed I’m faced with an overwhelming urge to binge….
