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
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
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
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

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
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
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
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…
