Collette from Going on an adventure tagged me in her post reflecting on where she was and what she was doing ten years ago. I had fun trying to remember what happened then, and 10 years ago is a relatively short time. I can only imagine how hard it will be to remember 2004 when I am 60! So…
As one of the Bahlsen Book Club members I was sent a copy of ‘The School Gates’ by Nicola May to enjoy with a couple of packs of biscuits… If you’ve never heard of Bahlsen biccies before then you are missing out! The Leibniz ones have chocolate on top that are impossible to eat without nibbling round the edges first!…
So a little updatey post from me today. I had a lovely day yesterday, Rhyme Time at the library (where I bumped into an old colleague who moved to NZ a few years ago and now has a baby and lives near me!) and then a little shop perusal (my ma gave me dish for Easter instead of eggs) and…
So actually she’s 10 and a half months now, but hey, who’s counting? I won’t do another one of these till she’s a year old in June now anyway… Eating: the last few weeks have been a bit stressful for us weaning wise. She went from eating everything offered to basically squishing everything and flinging it (sometimes with both…
I have fond childhood memories of visiting the Amberley Museum with my mum when I was small, and then as a school trip in year 5 or 6 (I remember someone being sick on the coach too!) so was really looking forward to heading round to find out what’s changed and seeing the museum from a more adult perspective too.…
I’ve written before about how changing bags are the new handbag for me… I have a total of 5 changing bags but am currently using this Skip Hop bag. Its pockets and pouches are full to the brim and Kiddicare asked me if I was willing to share the contents of our changing bag on my blog. My attitude…
Remember when I told you I was taking part in the #RespectThePasta challenge with Ask Italian? Well this is the 2nd challenge… to create a pasta dish and share the recipe with you! I was tempted to try a lasagne, but in the past have royally messed it up and decided to leave facing my pasta nemesis for a…
A couple of weeks ago I headed to Trevor Sorbie in the Lanes. They had invited people along to learn about the new trends in colour and style and to reveal two new offers to celebrate 10 years of the Salon and fifty years of Trevor hair dressing! (He’s 65, I asked!) We learnt that this summer red tones will…
Okay, before anyone tells me or gets annoyed because they were/are someone that works on the tills in retail please know that I have only felt the need to write this because I want to make the world a better place! Well, actually because these things seem to have happened quite a lot to me recently and it’s time to…
I feel like I’ve moaned a lot on social media recently about various things, but i’m going to do a little more of it because I can! [edit] after chatting to a group of brighton bloggers today I have decided to make this a monthly link-up. I’ll leave the link up open for the whole month, so if you write…
Ask Italian have launched a new campaign to get people to #RespectThePasta. They feel that pasta is too often taken for granted, undercooked and undervalued. They think Pasta needs love and attention, to be cooked properly to the perfect al dente bite, paired with quality ingredients and enveloped in delicious sauces. Observe the ingredients. Honour the bite. Respect the pasta.…
I was sent Beautiful Day by Kate Anthony to review from Penguin and read it in 2 days, no mean feat when most of my reading was done in the bath, and I’ve given up baths for lent! Reading in the shower probably isn’t the best idea so I read through nap times and in bed. It’s out on April…
