*we were very kindly invited to Fforestfach Retail Parc to take part in this challenge. The items were gifted, but chosen by us* Does anyone else feel like Christmas shopping can be a bit overwhelming? I love it, don’t get me wrong – there’s nothing better than browsing the shops when it’s all festive – Read More
I don’t know about you, but I tend to chop and change beauty products quite a lot, and never stick with them long enough to see the benefits. I read about a “miracle product”, buy it and give up after a week because it hasn’t got rid of my dark circles, wrinkles, or made my skin Read More
You know how when you go to a toddler class, a birthday party or a sports group and there’s “that one child”? You know the one. The one that if you’re being kind you’d describe as free-spirited, or on the other hand you’d describe as feral? Turns out that child is ours. For months now Read More
I thought I’d write something a bit different tonight, and share our Joe Wicks inspired weekly family meal plan. If it was down to me, none of our meals would be planned in advance because I’m just not organised. It would be a case of me running to the shop every day to pick up Read More
Pumpkin picking has become a little autumn tradition of ours, and one I really look forward to. There’s nothing better than heading out as a family on a sunny autumn day, armed with my camera and the aim of choosing a load of pumpkins to decorate. The past few years we’ve tried a few different Read More
If you follow me on Facebook, you might have seen that this morning I wasn’t really feeling myself.

Yesterday, we made the most of a sunny October day to try a new family activity – we had a go at a DIY autumn treasure hunt. It was free (well, almost), got us all out of the house for something we could do together, and was a lot of fun. I love this time Read More
I’ve always felt like the end of August and the start of September is a bit like Christmas and new year. It feels like time for a fresh start, to make a few changes and get organised! It must come from the start of the new school year, and all the new notebooks and diaries Read More
Do you know what I’m guilty of? Apart from driving around for far too long with the petrol light on, eating Nutella out of the jar and never quite getting around to moving the pile of clothes from the bedroom floor to the wardrobe. I’m guilty of taking myself far too seriously. I don’t like Read More
Hello hello! And welcome back to the worst maintained blog in history! I’ve been so busy with work, looking after the boys and googling rose gold watches (a necessity) that I just haven’t had time to write anything for a week. And I’d set myself a blogging schedule too … hey ho, such is life! Read More
