So it’s the last day of Real Nappy Week 2012 and what a week it has been! Last year I was still fairly new to cloth nappies and it was the events of RNW2011 that pulled me in and started my journey to the Fluff obsessed mummy that I am today! I attended a Nappuccino […]
Mummies! I have a treat for you! As I was shortlisted for the Best Blog in the Sainsbury’s Bank Family Blog Award.

To celebrate The LEGO Batman Movie hitting the cinemas this weekend, the lovely folks at Warner Bros have asked me to share my top tips for a perfect […]

This morning we were invited to an exclusive Mumsnet screening of Hotel Transylvania 2 at our local Odeon cinema. Both children have taken after us and developed a love of movies so we try to get to the cinema quite regularly. We’d seen the trailer for this on our last visit and both children loved […]
So yesterday, the 21st of October was National Apple Day! When I heard that Incredible Edible Prestwich & District were holding an Apple Day at Phillips Park to celebrate, I knew we had to go and see what it was all about! Ben, my 4 year old absolutely loves gardening, growing veg and anything to […]
World Book day is almost upon us for another year and this time I had the challenge of finding a costume that met the approval of my rather fussy nine year old. Although he wanted to join in with the day and demonstrate his love of reading, he sees himself as too ‘grown up’ for […]

Both my son and daughter are mad about Marvel, especially The Avengers, so I was rather excited when my friend and fellow bargain hunter Pippa posted in the Mymummyspennies Money Saving Group about a selection of Marvel dress up costumes she had […]
