I’m partial to the odd lengthy stroll or two…. Anyone who’s ever set off on an hike of any kind knows that the right equipment is absolutely essential. When you’re carrying everything you need on your back, your rucksack has to be sturdy but lightweight, and big enough to fit in the essentials without being [...]

We’re big Lego Duplo fans round these parts, so being Lego Duplo Experts obviously has its benefits! And, when I say ‘we’ I don’t just mean the children, the husband is pretty smitten too! A few days ago the postman knocked with a parcel that I knew would go down a storm with the three [...]

I’m a sensitive flower *cough*. When it comes to stepping out in the sunshine, you’re more likely to find me covered head to toe in a full body UV suit than topping up my tan in a bikini. Being as pure white as the driven snow means the sun and I aren’t exactly easy bed [...]

Grocery shopping. It’s one of those necessary evils that the ‘fairies’ take care of in our house. I remember the days BC (Before Children) when grocery shopping was decadent task. There was no need to think ahead. No menu planning to be done. We’d just eat what we fancied when fancied it, and if the [...]

Technology changes at such a fast pace these days. It seems like only yesterday the mobile phone was simply for texting and talking, and people navigated a journey using the good old fashioned A to Z. Not so much anymore. These days smart phones are causing us to completely rethink the way we use our [...]
