I must admit that I seriously underestimated how much time I would have for our Christmas preparations with two little ones keeping me busy. Fortunately I was sent a Gingerbread House Kit from Bespoke Foods to try. The kit is fantastic for busy mum’s as it contains everything needed to build and decorate a lovely…

Apps to keep toddlers busy over Christmas!
Big Brother has been a bit poorly which means we’ve been spending lots of time snuggled up indoors trying to find things to do. Fortunately he likes playing games on the iPad and iPhone, in between episodes of Chuggington and coughing, so we’ve been trying out some new apps. Based on the original books by…
Faith, Hope and Charity Swapping
I can’t resist a swap, especially when it’s a thrifted Christmassy one so signed up straight away to Lakota’s Faith, Hope and Charity Shopping Christmas swap. The challenge was to send a minimum of 3 items: one item to be sourced from a charity shop, one handmade item and one Christmas decoration of some sort….
Sainsbury’s Mini Gingerbread Men Biscuits
I don’t often find myself in Sainsbury’s but at the weekend we picked up some shopping where I came across Sainsbury’s Mini Gingerbread Men Biscuits in a gift box. Of course I had to try them but I really wish I hadn’t! Bizarrely I can’t find any reference to them on Sainsbury’s own website but…
1940s House at IWM London (and a vintage inspired giveaway!)
Giveaway now closed. The winner, as chosen by the IWM, is Rebecca Murphy. The correct answer was King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. One of my favourite museums in London is the Imperial War Museum and we’ll be popping along between Christmas and New Year for a last look round the 1940s house which is…
Thomas in Charge DVD!
Until recently Big Brother has been the *biggest* Chuggington fan. He literally eats, sleeps and breaths Chuggington. Until, that is, he caught an episode of Thomas the Tank Engine. Unfortunately when he wants to watch an episode he can only say “choo choo” which we have to interpret as either Chuggington or Thomas! Luckily for…
(Review) Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum
I’m definitely at the (second-time) new mum stage where it’s a struggle to squeeze a shower into our day, let alone brush my hair or slap on some moisturiser. However, when I was offered the chance to try a new beauty product I thought this was a great opportunity to do something for myself! Artistry…
Where my husband tells me he hates babies
A good friend told me that conversations taking place between a mummy and daddy between the hours of 11pm and 5am don’t count. Which is just as well as yesterday morning my husband told me he hates babies, in particular, our baby. I think he has forgotten that newborns are pretty clueless about bedtimes. Little…
Fiona Cairns Gingerbread Tree Decorations
I’ll admit I can’t walk past a supermarket without having a quick look round. You never know what new products you’ll find which is how I came across Fiona Cairns Gingerbread Tree Decorations in Waitrose the other day. They were expensive but I couldn’t resist the cellophane wrapping and pretty ribbon – fickle I know….
