Another week has passed and here are my pictures from the last seven days… Not a very exciting Sunday but Elizabeth was thrilled to find her second favourite Marvel character in her Kinder Egg treat! It may be most of the way through January but I am starting to put my healthy eating plan in […]
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 […]
5/365 – Daddy’s Girl – On Daddy’s shoulders for a walk in the park…
I love shopping and believe that we all deserve a treat every now and again. I admit that if I’m upset or in a bad mood, one thing sure to cheer me up is a shopping trip. I do believe that it’s important to live within your means. I may stare through the window longingly […]

I’m going to make a confession… I am …*takes deep breath* … a CLOSET COMPER! I have to admit in some circles I’m embarrassed to admit it, but surrounded by fellow penny pinching mummies I can be brave enough to tell you I LOVE entering competitions! I actually get a rush when I win something […]

My daughter is nearly 10 months old and in all the time I’ve been breastfeeding her I have struggled to find breast pads that I really get on with! Even now when Elizabeth is on 3 meals a day and feeding a lot less I seem to have quite ‘leaky’ boobs! Being an eco conscious […]
The latest Blog On Conference in Manchester takes place tomorrow and although I may be a bit late to the party (better late than never, hey?) I’m really looking forward to it. This will be my fouth time attending Blog On at the Museum of Science and Industry and it’s one of my favourite blogging […]
Like many children her age, my five year old daughter loves fairies, drawing fairies, sharing stories about fairies, pretending to be a fairy… So when I told her that a very special little fairy friend would be coming to live in her bedroom she was delighted! We were sent the brand new My Fairy Door […]
