Jubilee baking
I know, I know, there’s enough Jubilee related posts flying round at the moment, but I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon too! At the beginning of the month, Grace’s school held a Jubilee celebration. It was great fun, with children from all the classes taking part in dancing, singing, parades and much more. There...
Easter Baking – Hot Cross Buns
There are so many great things to make and bake at Easter time and hot cross buns are one of our favourites. They don’t always look as neat and tidy as the ones you buy in the supermarket, but they certainly taste just as good, in fact, they probably taste much better! You may think...
Win tickets to the Ideal Home Show
I always have so many ideas for decorating my home – shame I never get round to carrying them all out! Having said that, we are currently redecorating Faith’s room. It hasn’t been done since Grace was a baby and it’s about time it had a revamp. I’ve spent hours searching for inspiration online for...
Al Fresco Holidays – Young Travel Writer Competition
Grace loves to write – she has done ever since she was very young and at 3 years old started to write little sentences. Now she’s 7, I find little pieces of writing all over the house! Lists, dear diary entries, school registers and endless imaginative stories. So we were both very interested to hear...
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...
Innocent Queen of K
I always knew I was destined to be a Queen. Ok, maybe not, but I was very excited that Innocent picked me to be their Queen of K. They sent us a full set of their new magnets (some of them even glow in the dark!) and asked us to use the K magnet in...

A few days ago I reviewed a Playskool Lullaby Gloworm and it was a big hit with all of us, especially Faith. The lovely people at Playskool have now offered to send a Lullaby Gloworm to one lucky reader – what a great Christmas present that would make! All you have to do to enter...
Mega Bloks
After reading about the Mega Bloks competition on Who’s The Mummy?, Grace was itching to get creating. She grabbed Faith’s bag of Mega Bloks and started trying out ideas, eventually settling on this as her final design: Apparently it is a town with a car on the road at the front. The white block on...
Big Bakeoff winner!
Last month I decided to enter English Mum’s Big Bakeoff with my Summer strawberry cupcakes. I watched, with my mouth watering, as the entries poured in. There were some truly wonderful looking cakes and cupcakes, and some brilliant children’s entries. A few weeks back, whilst I was away caring for my Stepmum, I was delighted...
