My First Attempt At A D.I.Y. Haircu

I haven’t had a haircut in far too long! I struggle to find time to go alone. The last time I went I took Bow with me and it wasn’t much fun.

Hearty & Healthy Breakfasts to Kickstart Your Day

At the start of the new year, many of us are looking for ways to eat healthier. I can be very unhealthy. If I’m in a rush I am happy to replace lunch with chocolate. My children eat quite healthy but again, when we are short of time, we can be guilty of turning to ready meals rather than cooking fresh vegetable filled meals.
