I hate to admit it but being married to a true IT geek means I am currently sitting in the hospital with my MacBook Air and MiFi card. My husband is asleep (and still no news when he will be discharged) so I am taking the opportunity to do a little online shopping. Apparently yesterday…
Oh Christmas tree…
My 6 year old niece has banned us from talking about the C word until the 1st of December (apparently her teacher has enforced this in the classroom). However we can’t help it and we certainly can’t escape it in the shops, on the radio, in the papers. Even the local Council have already put…

Snowflake: Beautiful Christmas songs for you and your family
This year we’re very excited, ok, I’m very excited, as it’s bubba’s first Christmas. This means I get to go completely over the top with buying Christmas presents, putting the decorations up and generally getting into the Christmas spirit earlier than ever. So I was very happy to review Snowflake, the new CD from The…
Day Zero – Month Two (November)
Another month has gone by so time to look at my progress with Day Zero. I’ve lost my mojo a bit recently but I’m pleased to say I’ve had time to undertake some new projects. Sewing/craft projects I’ve learned how to make cushions with a bit of help from my mum so I’ve made cushions…
QuinnyCasters News #8
I failed miserably at the first QuinnyCasters assignment. My reporting of the opening and assembly of the Quinny Zapp Xtra failed to impress the judges and I didn’t win a prize. So I bought the Quinny footmuff from ebay which I love! It can be used on the Quinny and the Maxi-Cosi car seat so…
Little fingers
We were recently sent a BabyDan magnetic drawer/cupboard lock to review. I was really happy to try this as Edward is increasingly moving around and it won’t be long before we have to have a serious think about locks on cupboards and stair gates. The magnetic drawer/cupboard lock was simple to fit and can be…
Separation anxiety
Right now I feel torn in two. Edward and I spend every day together but my husband has been in hospital since Tuesday evening for his planned stoma reversal surgery. We’ve been staying with my mum so she can look after Edward and I can visit my husband. It’s so hard leaving Edward in the…
The mini Gingerbread House Kit
I love trying anything gingerbread – sewing or baking related! A while ago I bought The mini Gingerbread House Kit. I wanted to make cute little gingerbread houses but didn’t realise that the small scale might make it quite so difficult. One of the first problems was that the gingerbread spread whilst cooking so needed…
