Cartmel Puddings
It’s certainly no secret that I like a good pudding. If I’m eating out then I’ll often choose my main carefully so I still have room for pudding – because that is the best bit! So there was no way I was going to turn down the offer of pudding to review, especially when it...
Fabric Crafts with Yellow Moon
Crafting time has been sadly lacking in our house recently, with big plans for lots of craft activities over half term being scuppered by my nasty bout of flu. So when Yellow Moon offered to send us some fabric crafting kits and craft supplies it was the perfect chance for us to get creative again....
Pairing food and wine – Chablis
I must admit that I am one of those people who enjoys a glass of wine but is hopeless at knowing what is good and what isn’t. I am baffled by those people on the tv who tell me that they are getting a hint of berries with an undertone of wood and an after...

This is a sponsored post Sometimes when life gets busy or I’m just too lazy to cook, we like to have a takeaway and often pizza is top of our list. As a house of pizza lovers, we were very pleased when we were asked if we’d like to try the Chicago Town Takeaway Limited...
Style Confidence Workshop
Last month I was invited to take part in a Style Confidence Workshop that was being held as part of the Festival Place Fashion Festival. As I pointed out in my original post, fashion isn’t really my thing and the thought of clothes shopping is enough to make me scream. This is the reason I...
One Day – book review
Crazy I know, but I’ve read something that isn’t a cook book! It dawned on me recently that I wasn’t making enough time to read and I missed that. For my birthday, Dale got me a kindle and I have read loads since then – I absolutely love it! But before that, Tesco Books blog...
Festival Place Fashion Festival
I am not known for my fashion sense! I have resorted to wearing large baggy cover ups, thinking they hide the unsightly bulges when they are probably making them look worse. Having had two children, my shape has changed dramatically and my lovely slim waist has transformed into a rather large belly. So despite the...
Knits to Give – review
If you read my blog regularly then you may have noticed that I am a huge Debbie Bliss fan. Her designs are absolutely beautiful and her books are so gorgeous to the point where I will sit and read them at night time instead of a novel! So I always get excited when I am...
HOP DVD
Last week Grace and I were very excited to be invited to a special screening of the DVD Hop, which was released on DVD and Blu-ray yesterday (29th August). Firstly, we were looking forward to seeing the film as it wasn’t one we’d seen before and secondly, we were itching to go because the screening...
Camp Bestival
A couple of weekends ago we were very lucky to be given a free press pass to Camp Bestival – the family-friendly music festival held at Lulworth Castle, Dorset. I had heard good things about it last year but,largely due to the prices, hadn’t got round to booking any tickets. I was also a little...
Hotel Chocolat Easter Competition
Oh how I love Hotel Chocolat, especially when they send me little surprise gifts in the post! I was very excited when this Easter Pick Me Up gift bag arrived because it contained caramel egglets and words cannot describe how delicious these little eggs, filled with oozing caramel are! I was kind to my children...
