Me and My Netflix Fix
Do you ever find yourself longing for some alone time? A bit of time away from work when you can just kick back and relax without worrying about dinners to cook, clothes to wash and without any little people scrapping on the floor over toys and books. Five minutes without having to shout "Please DO NOT snatch from your sister." or "Will you PLEASE leave your brother alone." Anyone? Well, guess what. I have not one but TWO nights alone coming up in the not so distant future...and even one potential lie-in. So, what to do with this oh-so-rare moment of freedom? Catch up with ...
Win a Melt and Make Chocolate Construction Kit From Choc on Choc
We are feeling super generous at the moment and are running our third and final prize draw of the week! Today you can channel your inner chocolatier with a melt and make Belgian chocolate construction kit from Choc on Choc. We were sent a kit to try out for ourselves and W and I have had great fun making, and eating, some cute animal lollipops. Each kits contains the 'cement mix' (chocolate buttons), necessary moulds and sticks and even a mini chef's hat for the little ones. Making the lollipops really couldn't have been easier. We simply melted our buttons in a large glass bowl in the ...

This month we love…and mt Washi Tape Giveaway
This month we were lucky enough to be sent some lovely products from stonegift.com. The first is an amazing giant colouring poster from OMY Design and Play. These could be hung on the wall or used as tablecloths and will keep the little people entertained for hours at a time. We were sent the Cosmos design which is covered in really cute robots, spaceships, planets and aliens. I have to be honest and state that I haven't let the kids loose on it yet as it is just so cute and their colouring skills are not quite ready for this yet so I am saving it. It is just too ...

Back to School With a Little Help from Stuck On You
With many parents facing the prospect of a new school term there can be a million and one jobs to tick off. I know one of my own parent's least favourite of which was the dreaded sewing on of name tags to that year's uniform. Thankfully, this no longer needs to be the odious task it once was and we have been delighted to review a school starter label pack from Stuck on You. The pack contains 54 iron on clothing labels (6 large - 60x12mm, 15 small - 48x10mm, 21 mini - 46x6mm, 12 dots - 24mm), 52 name labels (30 small – 48x10mm, 22 mini – 46x6mm), 8 shoe dots (24mm diameter) and 1 Cool Kids ...

A (slightly insane) belly-busting update #Insanity
Regular readers of my blog will know that I have had a pretty-much-constant battle with my weight since the birth of the boy. (Just search fitness, weight-loss or baby-weight on this site to see how much.) Prior to being pregnant that first time I had been somewhat of a skinny-minnie most of my life. Which I liked. Post pregnancy I have struggled to get anywhere close. Following a c-section I found it enormously difficult to recover both physically and mentally. Exercising was pretty much entirely out of the equation for a good six months and, even then, I struggled. I honestly ...
