Enjoying the good weather with Cranes cider

Enjoying the good weather with Cranes cider

Posted on May 27, 2017November 8, 2020 by jenny

The weather has been amazing over the last few days. May has been a bit of mixed bag. One week the kids were back in coats for the school run and this week I’ve had trouble getting clothes on them! The good weather has meant we’ve been eating a little later and pushed bed times back…

A lunch date at Five Guys

Posted on June 12, 2016October 20, 2024 by jenny

My husband introduced us to Five Guys a few years ago and it’s now our go to place for a tasty lunch. My husband has plans for Father’s Day which is next Sunday – we’re trying not to take this personally. So instead we went out for a family lunch today. We’ve been to Five…

Carnivore Club subscription box

Posted on March 24, 2016December 6, 2020 by jenny

I have something a little different to share with you today. I love to show you the contents of the subscription boxes I try and I received an email about Carnivore Club asking me to try it. I’m not a foodie but I loved the sound of this subscription box. In a nutshell, Carnivore Club…

The Easter Goody Bag from Hotel Chocolat review

Posted on March 15, 2016October 19, 2020 by jenny

If you follow me over on Instagram you’ll know I recently posted this pic of The Easter Goody bag from Hotel Chocolate.

Kuxxin subscription box

Posted on February 28, 2016July 23, 2017 by jenny

2016 is my year of putting myself first. I think it’s easy as a parent to spend so much time worrying about your family that you forget you matter too. Don’t worry, I’m not neglecting my children, just spending a little less time catching up on Facebook and investing more time in me and the…

Back to school: lunchbox ideas

Posted on August 28, 2014 by jenny

The start of the school term is feeling very real at the moment. I’m panic buying school uniform, have stuck up the pictures of Reception we were given and have bought my 4 year old a Planes 2 Fire and Rescue lunchbox so I can bribe him to help him get through the first few…

Shopping with Morrisons online

Posted on July 21, 2014July 21, 2014 by jenny

The other week I was given the opportunity to try out shopping with Morrisons online. As a busy mum of two I have little time for food shopping, it is my least favourite chore, especially with two pre-schoolers in tow. Nothing beats sitting down when the children are in bed, making a shopping list and…

A delicious family meal at ASK Italian

Posted on April 2, 2014July 8, 2016 by jenny

On Sunday we headed to our local ASK Italian for a Mother’s Day meal. We ate in the ASK Italian in Northwood which is in a converted Post Office. I’ve often walked past but never gone in so I was excited about finally venturing inside. I booked online in advance as I knew it would…

Bento-inspired fruit plate

Posted on February 20, 2014February 20, 2014 by jenny

How are you coping with half term? I’m pretty pleased we’ve reached the half way point 🙂 I love my 3 year old but he talks non-stop from the second he sneaks into bed with me in the morning until his bedtime. Those few hours he spends at nursery each day are a very welcome…
