Holidays are wonderful for families. They give you the chance to slow down and spend some quality time with each other. Often, family holidays are when the best memories are created. Here are some useful tips for making the most of this time together. Something to keep the kids occupied As you know, my little ones love craft projects. They like nothing better than spending an hour making something out of card and sparkles. Having something with you for your kids to enjoy doing in the evening is always a good idea. It means that if you want to you can spend some time in your holiday ...
21 Day Fix No-Fry Fishcakes
So I am currently on a bit of a health and fitness mission. I have decided that 2017 is the year to finally whip myself into some kind of half decent shape. In order to help me achieve this I have set myself a number of challenges. In March I will be taking part in Rocksolid Exeter...1 5k race full of impossible looking mud-filled obstacles that I am utterly terrified about. I am already regretting this decision but is all for a very good cause and I will be running in aid of ELF, the Exeter Leukeamia fund. I will be posting more about this soon. In July I will also be taking part ...
So, this is a little embarrassing…
So, this is a little embarrassing. Awesome. But stuff like this, even despite the awesomeness, makes me come over with a huge dose of awkward blushes. Don't get me wrong, I am BEYOND delighted, but now I have to ask for a bit of help. From you. And I'm feeling a bit awkward. *Bites bullet*. It would appear, somehow, LORD knows how, this little old blog has been nominated for best parenting blog in the UK blog awards. I just read that again. Bonkers I know. But there it is. I have read, re-read, and re-read again the e-mail and that is definitely what it ...
Bright Horizons: Family friendly Food
As the smalls are getting, well, less small, dinnertimes appear to be getting more and more complicated. As their teeny taste buds evolve they appear to dislike more, and more, and more, and more things. *Weeps*. Like many working families we have also fallen foul of the "Let's just give them a ready meal, ping it for two minutes and we know that they will eat it" regime. Easy? Yes. Quick? Yes. Convenient? Yes. Nutritious? Ermmmm...not really. The other MAJOR detrimental impact of this is, their teeny tastebuds having become accustomed to the ...
Wyevale: Breakfast With Santa
This weekend we are feeling particularly festive at Casa B. Today is the day we go to pick out our Christmas tree and yesterday we were lucky enough to be treated to Breakfast with Santa himself. Across the country Wyevale garden centres are offering families the chance to have breakfast, or tea, with Santa and his Elves and yesterday we headed over to Jack's Patch in Teignmouth to do just this. The restaurant area had been decorated, Xmas music played and we set about pulling our crackers and donning our hats. Whist waiting for breakfast the smalls amused themselves with ...
Beautiful Xmas Gift Ideas For Her With Onecklace
This year I am delighted to be working with the lovely folks from personalised jewellery company Onecklace again. I have been lucky enough to review for them before so I was super excited when this little box of loveliness arrived: I was even more delighted when I opened up the above to reveal this: This beautiful silver bracelet is made of sterling silver and carries the 0.925 sterling silver stamp, as does all Onecklace silver jewellery. This one carries my initials, JAB, in a beautiful monographed sphere with a delicate double chain ...
Sorry, not sorry, for my sisters
Oh. My. God. This has been my worst week for a while. I am feeling a bit sensitive but MAN I hadn't expected the fights I have had this week. TRUMP This misogynistic assaulter is even being considered for president? He is delusional. He is beyond insane. He is a sexual predator. He's running for president. CHED EVANS VICTIM This poor girl. I am so utterly disillusioned in the legal justice system, actually THAT JUDGE, who has basically made it impossible for any woman now to win a rape case. Who CARES if she had actually slept with ...
#notnonstick
Having recently suffered a #notnonstick tragedy of my own it seems I'm not alone. The struggle is real people. The irony. At least they taste good. Birthday cake fail. Potato gratin? Massacre in Park City. Happening right now. Cake 1, Robert 0. #nowmyeggslooksad. Now please go and show these poor folk some instagram love. They have suffered enough. ...
10 Reasons I HATE Running
It hurts. My calves feel like lead. I discover more bits which wobble that I hadn't noticed previously. All of a sudden there seems to be very little air. And the air that there is feels like travelling through glue. Feeling the need to speed up on sight of another human being...and actually being incapable of doing so. Attempting to convey a 'please don't try and talk to me' smile at said human beings because there is really not enough breath to spare on chat...or smiling come to that. Hills literally get steeper before my very eyes. Ten minutes feel like ten hours. ...
Meeting Milestones With SMA PRO Toddler Milk
This is a sponsored post. It is staggering just how quickly my baby became a toddler, particularly so with number two. When The Boy was born I seemed to wait an eternity to tick off several milestones, first words, first steps, first solid food. In reality it probably happened just as quickly as with Little Miss but I was really aware of waiting. Not so this time around. I almost feel like I blinked and I missed it. There was also probably some realisation of, in reality, how much harder parenting becomes when they can actually walk and ...
