What’s in our Christmas Eve Box?

Since the girls were born Christmas has become one of my most favourite times of the year! I was never overly big on it until they came along and now my joy comes totally from seeing their excitement leading up to the big day! As I type it’s 10am Bella is spinning around the lounge still in her pj’s (as  you should be in the holidays) singing carols and she just fell into the tree – tree is now slightly ruined but it gave us all a bloody good laugh. Tomorrow is Christmas eve and I am sure excitement levels will be…

Parenthood – why the competition?

I am usually one to read and then not reply to the ongoing breast VS bottle debate. Recently you’ll have seen your social media feeds filled with the tree of life images it made me want to  jump down from my fence and write this post. The tree of life images essentially show breast feeding muma’s doing their thing in an arty way – they look cool, they do I like them and this isn’t directed at those images personally, it is just seeing them that sparked my need to write. I am all for breast feeding out and proud. Never…

Longleat Festival Of Lights

The girls and I headed off to visit Longleat last week to experience the Festival of Lights for the first time! I had heard such great things about the event which runs throughout December we couldn’t wait to get down there. We’ve been to Longleat once before, it was when they were in the process of setting it all up since seeing that I have always been intrigued to go back and see it finished. I knew it was going to be pretty busy as tickets were sold out for the day, it was advised to leave extra time for…

No Added Sugar With Yazoo!

Last weekend the girls and I headed off on another little adventure, this time we visited Bradford on Avon to see the guys at YAZOO ahead of an exciting new product launch. We all know YAZOO it’s one of those brands we grew up with, I remember heading down to the shops on a Saturday morning for a milk shake and a bag of pick and mix. In a day where we are all a lot more health conscious and even more conscious of the foods and drinks we give to our children YAZOO have launched there new no added sugar range…

3 Ways to enjoy Little Yeos

Please tell me I am not the only one who picks up there children every day from school and is met with wails of starvation?? I get it, it’s a long day for them and it’s just so easy to give them a little biscuit or a packet of crisps to keep them going till dinner time but for my girls it just fills them up on junk and then they aren’t interested in a meal I have cooked for them. I’ve just stopped buying it out of sight out of mind but they are still hungry so I have…

Oxygen FreeJumping – Southampton

A couple of weeks ago the girls and I headed down to Oxygen FreeJumping in Southampton, after seeing so many snaps of people in these amazing indoor trampolining venues we just had to go down to our closest one and check it out. After we put on our special jumping socks and watched a quick demo video about safety we headed out into the park and got our bounce on. We went to the under 5’s sessions that they have each week days 10-12am and weekends 10-11am, it’s great that they have different sessions for different ages it means the little…

Baby-Led Weaning Cheesy Vegetable Muffins Recipe

When you’re starting out with baby-led weaning, finding snacks that are soft, nutritious, and easy for little hands to hold can feel like a challenge. That’s why I love these Cheesy Vegetable Muffins – they’re packed with hidden veg, full of flavour, and just the right texture for babies and toddlers. They’re also brilliant for older kids as a healthy after-school snack or a lunchbox filler, so the whole family can enjoy them. This makes them a real go-to recipe in our house – whether for weaning, packed lunches, or quick bites on the go. I created this recipe with…
