It’s been a while since I last joined in with Reasons the be cheerful (a weekly meme hosted by Michelle). Little Sis is now 6 weeks old and we all love her to pieces. She has fitted right in to our family and it’s difficult to believe she hasn’t always been here. She’s also starting…

Help! My buggy board bites!
I’m at war with my pram. I don’t understand it. It was expensive and the ‘must have’ accessory where we live but it’s by no means ideal. At one point late last year we had 6 prams stuffed in every corner of the house and sheds (yes sheds, our house is overflowing!). We sold 2…
Sainsbury’s gingerbread dough block
As a busy mum of two I am happy to cut corners where possible. I love anything that saves me time so loved the look of a gingerbread dough block which I came across in Sainsbury’s recently. At £2 for a 350g block it is quite expensive but great to keep in the fridge if…
A very Chuggington Christmas
Big Brother is turning into a typical boy and loves anything with wheels. His absolute favourite programme is Chuggington which he would watch pretty much all day if I let him. Before Christmas he had a couple of Chuggington books, engines and a board book which he loved. They’re all well-loved and splattered in food…
My changing bag isn’t working for me
My changing bag isn’t working for me. Not when I need another couple of bags to simply leave the house. Today we decided to go on a family shopping trip to Westfield Stratford, the super duper new shopping centre next to the Olympic site. I’m gradually getting used to getting us all out of the…
Sainsbury’s gingerbread sauce
Just before Christmas I came across another seasonal product from Sainbury’s – gingerbread flavour sauce. The picture on the front looked delicious so I foolishly added it to my basket. Of course I then needed something to eat with it so bought some treacle sponge pudding too. I was really looking forward to trying the…
Never too young for books
I spent most of my childhood with my nose in a book and I’m really keen to pass this love of books on to my children. Firmly believing that it’s never too early to start reading with your child, I was delighted that Little Sis was sent a soft book and rattle for review from…
Big Nate iPad app giveaway
Big Brother surprises me with his grasp of technology, already completely au fait with using our iPhones and iPads. We love discovering new apps for him to use and were excited to hear that one of his favourites, Peekaboo Barn, has been decorated Peekaboo Barn for the holidays – bunnies in beanies, cows in hats and…
