This whole grown-up thing can sometimes be a real drag. I mean, take holidays for example; when you have children in tow and bills to pay how on earth are you supposed to afford some of that ‘quality time’ everyone talks about? I spent what seemed like an age earlier this year, trawling the internet [...]

To say I’m lucky to be a LEGO DUPLO Blogger is an understatement. Just imagine how popular I am with the kids every time another parcel arrives? I mean seriously, whose children aren’t happy for hours, and hours playing with this wonderful stuff? Late last year we were invited down to London to the LEGO [...]

As a family of four, with both the husband and I working to make ends meet, we’re often stretched financially. But, being a little obsessed with cooking, and making delicious home cooked meals, one area that I monitor religiously is our food budget.

I sent him flowers….

If you’re looking for Valentine’s gifts for your secret crush, other half, or me *cough*, then look no further than Interflora for Valentine’s Day flowers. These beauties, which Interflora very kindly sent to my husband (yes, I asked them to send a boy flowers), are their stunning Dramatic Dozen. Flowers don’t just have to be gifts [...]

I’m always attending soirées and luncheons that require me to be groomed and gorgeous. *cough* When M&S asked me if I’d like to try one of their Secret Support Party Dresses, I thought what better way to disguise all those little lumps and bumps, and make me appear even more goddess like!

Something I’ve learnt, from losing a parent at a young age, is that you can never have too many photographs. People you love, places you’ve been, things you’ve enjoyed, it doesn’t matter what the subject is, it’s the recording of a moment that’s important. A visual clue, a snapshot insight into someone’s soul. Pictures can [...]

We all have jobs that we hate. You know, those household chores that tip you to the edge of sanity? Well, for me that task is ironing. Lucky for me, I have someone to do it for me! Noooooo, I don’t pay anyone! My husband does it, along with all the laundry. Yes, you did [...]

It was the boy’s 5th birthday a couple of weeks ago. Where did the time go?! As a priviledge of being LEGO DUPLO Experts we were sent a fabulous party pack and cake. So we invited round some of his school friends, and had a LEGO DUPLO birthday party. The pack contained: A LEGO DUPLO [...]

As parent in a digital age, there are definitely certain products that we’ve come to take for granted. In our house, the product that we wouldn’t be without is our digital baby monitor. Our youngest daughter may be 2½ now, but we still use the monitor on a nightly basis. It’s something that I’m not [...]
