Sunday Country Sunday
One of our main aims when making the move to Devon was to try and live outside more. Today was a chilly Sunday, but a sunny one none the less. We decided to brave it, wrap up the kids and go and investigate some of the fields that we can see from our garden. It is a pretty steep hill up to Highweek and Little Miss had been up half the night so we cheated and drove part way, dumped the car, and then headed out into the fields. The boys faffed about with some sticks, as they do, while Little Miss and I went exploring. We discovered that not only could we see our house but we could ...
Prize Draw: Win Davina’s New 7 Minute Fit and Get Fit with Davina…and Me!
As it is January I bet many of you, like me, are once again promising that THIS will be the year to get fit. Considering joining a gym? Wondering how many times a week you will plan to go versus how many times a week you will ACTUALLY go? Yep. Been there before too. I know from experience that joining a gym is utterly impractical for both me and my family. There simply just aren't enough hours in the day. To be perfectly honest even before we had kids I would rarely ever go often enough to justify the monthly membership fees. Finding time to exercise is hard. We all know this, and ...
Country Life and My Netflixy-New Year
So New Years Eve was a blast. Well, as much of a blast as it could be with two small children. Mr B's brother and girlfriend were visiting from Italy and Mr B cooked up a storm. We are really trying to embrace our new surroundings so the menu was very much seafood-focused. We started with seared fresh local scallops, asparagus and bacon. This was followed by local Brixham crab linguine and we finished with a fillet of Dab, recommended by the fishmonger for it's full flavour, which Mr B poached in butter. Yep, you heard me, butter. 500g of it. Eep. So delicious but, unsurprisingly, ...
Happy New Year #2015
One of my many resolutions for the coming year is to be a better blogger. I have been abandoning the blog somewhat of late and it is something that I really do want to get back to. I feel like I have kind of stopped writing. At least writing about the things that are actually on my mind or going on in my life. It is not the journal that it it once was and I miss that. As the kids are getting bigger I am becoming increasingly sure that I may share less about them. Later this year our lives will change completely when The Boy starts school and I think this will also be a turning point ...

Last Chance to Get A #LetterFromSanta
Do you have a family Xmas tradition? We have many at Casa B which include, but are not limited to: Drinking champagne whilst decorating the tree when the kids have gone to bed whilst watching National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. All receiving new pyjamas to wear to bed on Xmas Eve. Leaving out a mince pie and glass of milk for Santa and some carrots for the reindeer. Serving a large pork pie and some fizz for breakfast on Xmas day. Watching Elf in the afternoon after Xmas dinner. Apparently we are not alone. A recent YouGov survey of 2,007 parents with children aged 18 and ...
Sponsored Post: M & S Launches New Baby Area!
I am sure many expectant Mums will be delighted to hear that M&S have just launched a brand new baby area! When I was first pregnant with the boy it was such an exciting but confusing time. Which pram did I need? Three wheels or four? Which car seat? Did I want a cot or a cot-bed? How many baby grows /muslins/bottles/blankets were going to be required and where on earth was I going to store them? Mr B and I spent countless weekends visiting store after store, glazed expressions on our faces, becoming increasingly more bemused with each new find. Did we really NEED a video monitor? ...
A Xmas Less Ordinary: My Top Five Picks
It is that time of year again when many of us are scratching our heads trying to get away from the usual boring Xmas gift ideas. Never fear I am here to help with my top five picks this festive season so, before you buy another box of smells or another pair of socks take a look at these: The first would make a lovely stocking filler. "The Very Hungover Caterpillar." is a really cute parody of the classic children's tale except this time it follows the quest of one man as he attempts to shake off his hangover, eating whatever he can get his hands on and annoying his family ...
