Last week was quite challenging. We moved house on Friday, in the midst of a sickness bug. Moving house is hard enough, this was a nightmare! Now we can look back on it with a slight smile and I am sure we will find it funny one day. We are now settled in to our new home and it is wonderful! We have moved a few times since we relocated to North Yorkshire and we have finally found our home. [click here to read on]
We used to love going abroad before we had children. It was a great way to relax! We’d spend days lying around the pool, watching the world go by. We’d also hire a Jeep and explore what the area had to offer. It was wonderful to experience the local cuisine independently, rather than on a bus full of tourists. We arrived at a restaurant one afternoon and ordered our Greek salads. The waiter smiled at us and said that we [click here to read on]
I have a mixer that cost me a small fortune. It is a very well known brand and I thought that I would love it and it would last me a lifetime. I have been disappointed with it.

This is especially true when trying to introduce new rules and concepts such as being polite and well [click here to read on]
I like to have lots of themed party activities at Bob’s birthday parties that the children can access independently. Pinterest is fabulous for finding ideas! At her Under The Sea birthday party there were crafts galore! The first two that I am going to share with you are the Jiggly Jellyfish and the Seashell Wanda that we made! Bob loves preparing for her parties and she always helps me to make examples beforehand. To make the Jiggly Jelly fish we [click here to read on]
Today I have a post for you from Maise Fitzgerald. Maise has worked with a number of high end fashion designers as a stylist and blogger, helping others to find a style that works for them. Sometimes, being a mum means that the last thing on your mind is actually taking your hair out of that messy mum-bun, wearing something other than your worn in boyfriend jeans or replacing that comfy t-shirt that still has a baby sick stain on [click here to read on]
