Witch Craft
I’m sure it hasn’t escaped your attention that there is nothing I like better than a good bit of crafting and cooking, and what better time for crafty activities than Halloween?! So I was really excited to receive a review copy of this book – Witch Craft, compiled by Margaret McGuire and Alicia Kachmar. It...
Fruity chicken curry
Grace and I love cooking together so one day after school last week I suggested we grab some ingredients from the shop on the way home and cook up a curry. Neither Dale nor I have a great tolerance for spicy food so we are trying to introduce spicier foods to the girls from an...
Little Dish Cookbook
I adore cookbooks and have quite a few on my shelves (which were specially built to accommodate all my books!) So I was very excited when Little Dish asked if I’d like to review their Little Dish Favourites Cookbook and fresh fruit and vegetable pouches. Little Dish make all their products from 100% natural ingredients...
Back to School: Breakfast
I am very lucky that both my girls never complain about eating breakfast, but I know it can be a big battle for some parents. Whilst the girls are happy to stick with a bowl of cereal or a couple of slices of toast, I like to vary what they have to keep it interesting....
Bank Holiday Fun
Isn’t it lovely just to have a whole extra day of family fun, especially when the sun is shining? Well, that’s exactly what we did on Monday. No stressing about mess, rushing to get the washing done or hoovering the carpets! Just fun. We started with a trip to the fruit farm to pick our...
Nutella and Legoland
Last week, Grace and I were very lucky to be invited to a Nutella breakfast briefing, along with some other lovely bloggers, at Legoland. Grace was beside herself with excitement as it was her first visit to Legoland. I was beside myself with excitement because I LOVE Nutella! Seriously, it is difficult to put into...
When rain stops play
We usually like to get out and about at the weekend to get some fresh air and exercise but this Saturday we had to put our plans on hold as the weather was really dreary. So we were faced with the parenting challenge of what to do with two small children when you’re cooped up...
February makes
In a bid to stop myself being so lazy I am going to do a photo montage at the end of each month showing what I have made. I am busy with cakes orders at the moment but I really want to make sure there is a balance of cakes and other handmade items each...
Leek and pancetta tray bread
I have had a bread machine for many years now and for several months at a time, it sits in the cupboard. However, this week it has emerged from the cupboard and I have been making all sorts of yummy bread based products! The first was the cinnamon rolls – yes I cheated and used...
Resolutions
I’m not really one for making new years resolutions, but there are a few things I want to do this year. I thought if I put them up on my blog for all to see maybe I might stand a slim chance of sticking to some of them! Firstly, I MUST lose weight this year....
Count on it!
How many of you have fridge full of half used jars of jams, pickles, sauces, salad dressings, mayonnaise etc. that you periodically get out, look at the label that says use within a month of opening, wrack your brains to remember when you opened it, and put it back deciding it’s best not to risk...
