What is remotely interesting about interest rates?
What is remotely interesting about interest rates? Not a lot I once thought. As soon as I became a homeowner, a heavily-mortgaged homeowner to be correct, they suddenly became all too important. When I was searching for my first flat the banks were literally falling over themselves to lend me money. There were mentions even of 110% mortgages with no deposit and it was all too easy. I still had those niggling little voices in my head though from hearing stories of the stress and strain a 13% interest rate put on my lovely parents when we were growing up. A situation that seems almost ...
Did I Mention The Move? #MovingToDevon
Did I mention the move? Um, yep, I think I may have done a million times once or twice on facebook and twitter but just in case any of you missed it we are #MovingtoDevon. I am just a little bit excited. Hence the hashtag. We have decided the time is right to take Casa B out of the rat-race and head for the beach. Currently we are playing the waiting game and our actual moving date is in the hands of the solicitors. We have accepted an offer on our house here in Bristol and had our offer accepted on the new house in Devon. And now we wait. Impatiently. To be honest I should ...
First Birthdays with Fisher Price (Review)
Your child's first birthday is a huge milestone for any parent and can be quite an emotional time.

Dear Diary: Center Parcs August Challenge
This month Center Parcs are asking us to sit down with the little ones and record some of our special memories of this Summer. Steph, a Center Parcs Community Manager has some great ideas on how to get creative with this and below is my favourite tip of hers: "Write down your memories and pop them in an empty jar. Hang onto the jar until next summer, and you can open it and reminisce, or even get some inspiration!" So this is what we decided to do and, as it turned out, we already had the perfect jar! You can find out how to make your own here. The boy and I sat down and had a ...
Awesome Ice Lollies: Center Parcs July Challenge
This month we were totally thrilled with the latest Center Parcs challenge, making our own ice lollies. Little Miss is now at the age where we need to be reducing her milk feeds and supplementing with snacks, whilst keeping up a good calcium intake. This seemed like a perfect opportunity to get a little bit creative. These creamy strawberry ice lollies are so simple to make and use just three ingredients. We got our inspiration from Center Parcs own Deb Rogerson whose tip was... "Want to experiment with different flavours? Mix Greek yoghurt with a squeeze of honey, then just add your own ...
At Home Parenting With Jo Frost
I am sure like me, many of you have been delighted to see Jo Frost back on our screens with her new show Family Matters.

This makes me very happy indeed, and look at what fabulous company we are in. So if you want to grab a copy for yourself, and if you do ...
Monday Parenting Pin It Party #62
*Rubs eyes* Morning folks. We are a little bit sleepy here at Casa B. I had the awesome stupid idea that we should move to the coast and the plan is in action. It is a HUGE plan. We'll get there. But right now Mr B can't quite understand why we stayed awake past midnight checking out houses we would NEVER buy on Rightmove. To be honest nor did I and then remembered I have a plan. *Strokes white fluffy cat*, *Panics*, *Scours Rightmove some more.* Today the party is being hosted by Cass from A Frugal Family. Please do pop by and show her some love. She will be displaying her two ...
Pretty Pots: Easy Kids Craft
Ok so here is how to NOT make a pretty pot, at least if you do it our way. This has to go down as a major craft fail on our part but with smaller beads it might actually work. The inspiration of this craft came firmly from C-Beebies Mister Maker, during a thunderstorm, and facing an entire day stuck inside...we did what we had to folks! And the boy LOVED it, which is what counts. Right? So, if you too want to own a 'pretty pot' like ours this is what you will need: One empty jar Mod podge Glue/paint brushes Beads...smaller than ours, or sequins ...
