Little Sis was sent some lovely Miffy products to review. We’re huge fans of Miffy toys and still play with the Miffy rattle car that the toddler had when he was younger. To add to her toy collection she was sent the Miffy Soft Activity Cube. This is new and exclusive from Holland, a chunky…

Olympic torch pancakes
We’ve been talking to the toddler about the Olympics and as it’s only 18 days to go I thought I would make him something Olympic themed for his lunch today. What better than Olympic torch pancakes? Make a simple pancake batter. My favourite recipe is 100g plain flour, 2 eggs, 300ml of semi-skimmed milk, a tbsp…
What I’m reading: Marshmallow Madness
As a home baker with a *very* sweet tooth I was happy to receive a copy of Marshmallow Madness by Shauna Sever to review. It may be summer but with the wet weather it’s also pretty good to hide indoors from the rain drinking hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows. I didn’t ever think…
Giveaway: Ariel Powder party pack
As a very busy mum I’m sure I’m not alone in having an overflowing washing basket. A husband with a messy hobby, a toddler addicted to his paints and the garden and baby discovering food do not make for clothes which stay clean for long. Thank goodness for Ariel Powder which has been awarded Best…

Lego biscuits
It’s that time of the month, the PinAddicts Pinterest Challenge. The idea is to choose something from your Pinterest boards to create and link up each month. We are currently embracing all things Lego so when I saw Lego biscuits on Pinterest I knew I had to try making my own version of them. For the…
