The latest addition to our household is a Code-a-Pillar from Fisher Price. He’s a cute little guy who does exactly what he’s told so he can stay, he’s very obedient! He’s a new toy that is designed to help kids get a head start on learning about coding. I must admit I thought this was a bit early but after doing a…
July was pretty much as crap as June was for us, I’d sum it up as mediocre with illness and a few lovely days. We had a brilliant day out as a family to Drusillas, and then later that week the kids and I headed up to Guildford to meet Donna and had a blast, even though the temperature was…
I love brunch, always have and always will.In my opinion a proper brunch should be enjoyed no earlier than ten thirty in the morning after a long lie in and a big mug of tea. Ideally with friends. Sadly since having kids I can’t remember the last time I slept past half seven in the morning, so those extra three…
I am a huge fan of hot breakfasts, I find you feel fuller for longer which is always a good thing! I wanted to find an alternative to porridge and settled on using Farina (milled wheat basically, Farina means flour in Latin) and it’s similar to semolina but a lot finer. I’ve perfected this recipe with blueberries in but you…
It’s Friday at last! The weekend has almost landed so something easy to prepare but full of energy was what I was after when coming up with a breakfast idea today. It honestly couldn’t get more simple than this either! I have always loved cottage cheese but it is usually relegated to being shoved into a jacket potato. It’s a…
On Saturday the kids and I headed up to Queens Park in Brighton the day for the McDonald’s Activity Day. These are being held by McDonald’s at locations all over the country along with some other fun family friendly activities, like appearances from Ronald McDonald himself and even Tinie Tempah putting on a gig inside a McDonald’s! You can find…
Breakfast that you don’t have to make when you’re bleary eyed is always a winner, so overnight oats are the perfect solution providing you remember to prepare them the night before! I know that a couple of years ago overnight oats were the in thing but I didn’t really get into them until my husband was on a health kick…
Okay, it’s Wednesday – otherwise known as hump day. I think everyone deserves a treat for getting to middle of the week and what’s better than cake for breakfast? Healthy cake for breakfast! I could eat cake for all meals if it was good for me, but alas most cake isn’t. I spent quite a while perfecting this recipe…
Smoothies are something I really love on work days, I have to be out of the house by 6.15am and I walk the 25 minutes to work so something I can take with me for the journey is perfect because it means I can spend 5 minutes longer in bed if I don;t have to sit down at eat breakfast!…
Last week we spent an almost perfect day out as a family at Drusillas Park in East Sussex. The only reason it wasn’t perfect was because Arlo was sick in the car and it was a bit too hot for us all, nothing to do with Drusillas! We spent the whole day there and still didn’t quite manage to see…
As we’re told from a young age Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, unfortunately it is the meal I have the least energy to prepare. I’m working with Arla to put together seven easy breakfast recipes to try and revive our mornings with things that are fun and different from the normal cereal or toast that I’ve…
If you knew exactly when you were going to die would it change your view on life? Would you have a bucket list of things to do before you go? Would you tell people when you were going to pass away? Have a party or slip off quietly? Death isn’t something that I tend to think about much; it’s depressing…
