Epson EcoTank ET-4550 review

Being a work from home mum is a tough business. As I have seen my blog grow and my work load increase in the last year or so investments have had to be made into some decent equipment so I can meet the needs of clients, I have my work space set up every day (good-bye dining table) and it really does help me to get in the zone and get on with the bits I need to get done. One thing my make shift home office has been missing is a printer & scanner – I always thought how…

On The Run Make-Up With The Green People & Competition

We all know the day you become a mum you say goodbye to lazy morning’s slowly getting yourself ready applying your make-up precisely and perfectly. For me each morning is now a rush against time to get three children and myself up, fed, dressed and ready to face the world whilst trying to stop them from killing each other and completely trashing my house. I like to feel at least a little put together even if it just for the school run, I have always loved make up it instantly gives me a little boost being a parent shouldn’t mean you…

Spicing up dinner with Gousto

I have worked with Gousto a number of times in the past (find the posts here and here) trying out their boxes and testing out some delicious new recipes – but each time one of their lovely boxes turns up I am still blown away by the quality of the food and the amazing dishes I (yes me!) manage to create from following their simple step by step instructions. I was sent a box to spice up our January a couple of weeks ago and it was just what I needed the January blues were in full swing and I needed something fun to get…

Fisher Price Charisma Trike Review

A few weeks ago we were asked if Lottie would like to take the Fisher Price Charisma Trike for a spin and share our thoughts on it with my readers. With Lottie getting to that age where she doesn’t like the pushchair very much anymore I thought it would be a great alternative for her so I was super excited to get it up and running when it arrived. The trike was quite easy to assemble – I must admit I hate making these sorts of things and the instructions could of done with some writing to make it a little easier…

My Skincare Routine

Me and my skin have a bit of a love hate relationship, some days it’s crystal clear and make up goes on perfectly. Others it’ll just feel and look horribly dry and dull but most of the time that is down to me, if I am keeping up a good skin care I notice such a huge difference. So I thought I would share some of my tips – as a busy working mum I don’t get to spend as much time as I’d like on my skincare routine, but I have found some products I really love that don’t…

Fireworks & Fun At The Thistle Hotel

Last week I was invited to stay at the Thistle Hotel in Poole for a fun bloggers event celebrating bonfire night and enjoying lots of delicious food. I have been for dinner at the Thistle once before so I knew I would be in for a treat. I arrived to check in at about half 5 – pouring with rain so I wasn’t holding my breath for the fireworks to be going ahead. The room was a good size, with a double bed and a separate sofa bed in the room too. The decor is a little outdated but the room itself was clean,…

A/W footwear with Matalan

Autumn has arrived, the last few weeks has seen the temperature suddenly dip and we’ve been digging out the coats and boots again from the depths of the cupboards. I was recently contacted by Matalan to see if I would like to pick out a pair of their A/W boots for me and Maisy, it was perfect timing as I was on the hunt for some tan chelsea boots for myself at the time. These these brown chelsea boots just happened to be the first pair I spotted and were exactly what I was looking for. They are so easy to wear…
