Today was a very long day as we drove to Devon to visit family. Travelling for 5 hours with a 1 and 2 year old is not fun!A couple of things kept us sane: Snacking on the new Kingsmill Fruit & Fibre bread on the way. The range consists of Fruit & Fibre loaves,…

Afternoon tea?
Can I be smug and say I’ve done 95% of my Christmas shopping? It stresses me out every year and the only way I can cope is to be organised, make lists, purchase and wrap. We’re having Christmas at home (our last in this house) so I’m happy to be organised and swap gifts with…
Tuna pasta bake recipe
I love eating fish and always make sure the toddler eats a healthy portion at least once a week too. One of our favourite recipes is for tuna pasta bake. It’s really quick to put together and I always make plenty so I can freeze a couple of portions. Ingredients: Dried pasta (I usually use…
The C word
I’m going to be brave and use the C word. There’s something about September that just gets me thinking about Christmas. I’ve written my Christmas wishlist (iPad mini please), been buying stocking fillers and joined in some swaps for Christmas crafting. Christmas doesn’t have to be all about the money. We’ll be keeping it simple….
Organic Monkey review
I was delighted to be asked to try some products by Organic Monkey who make nappy balm, scalp oil for cradle cap, belly oil and massage oil. We tried their Cheeky Monkey Cheek Rub oil and Rock the Cradle cradle cap oil. My 10 month old has been teething for months but, just like her…
Wishlist – one new kettle!
We’ve just returned from a couple of days at my mum’s house. We got to do all our favourite activities. I went round the local charity shops (more Bob the Builder toys for the toddler), the husband flew his model aeroplane from the top of the local beauty spot and my mum kindly looked after…
Home baking made easy
As a home baker I love products which make it easy to whip up a batch of biscuits or cakes for the hungry hordes. I love the Dr Oetker range so was really pleased when they asked me to try out some of their latest products. We’re not usually a family who eats pudding but…
Fun with Miffy
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…
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…
