Did you know that today is National Dog Day? I didn’t until I received lots of emails about it from people trying to sell me something this morning. We’ve had our Bichon Frise for 7 months now and although having a puppy is a lot of hard work, we wouldn’t be without him. Today seemed…
We’ve been doing a lot of baking recently. I don’t know about you but we’ve always enjoyed baking, and now we have a lot more time on our hands. We are all excited that we have Easter to celebrate, especially as every day pretty much feels the same right now. Easter is the perfect excuse…

It’s not long until we celebrate St Patrick’s Day. I’ve been trying to think of small ways to celebrate at home and came up with some delicious St Patrick’s Day Brownie Bites. I’m all in favour of a quick bake so used a shop bought packet mix as the base of these. You can make…
