I had my hair cut and coloured for the first time in 6 months the other day and I can’t believe how much better it has made me feel! Before I became a mummy I would have my hair done every 2 months. Since Bob came along it is harder to arrange time and I worry about the money more so it doesn’t happen as often. I think 6 months is some sort of record though! I have even given [click here to read on]
I never know what to buy Michael for Christmas! His birthday is at the end of November and any ideas that I have are used for birthday presents. I try and get some ideas from him and sometimes just ask him outright what he would like but he can never think of anything. How on earth am I supposed to think of anything then! When I was contacted by The Book Of Everyone asking if I would like to review [click here to read on]
The New Year is a time to tighten the purse strings and recover from the spending spree of Christmas. However, sometimes it is important to get away and escape the January blues. Luckily, you don’t have to spend a fortune to have a great New Years break.

Fostering provides the same amount of care as adoption but in a lot of cases for shorter time scales and does not involve the wholesale legal changes which are brought about [click here to read on]
I can’t believe how cold it has turned and how quickly! I know I shouldn’t complain as we have been very lucky with the weather. We had some glorious sunny days in November. These icy winds are a shock to my system though. As a family we enjoy spending time outdoors and Sally wouldn’t let us stay inside. She needs her walks! This weather makes it harder to find our get up and go. Luckily Mountain Warehouse have kitted us [click here to read on]
I like a challenge and I also like being creative so when I was asked by Mobile Mini to create a portable grotto for Santa that could fit inside a storage container I started thinking of what I could make. The example they gave was a simple idea, just to show us what sort of thing they were looking for. I wanted to think of something unusual and, as usual, I got a bit carried away. 🙂 I love the [click here to read on]
