Last weekend we took the motorhome over to Wales for a festival with a difference. While there was music, there was also a whole heap of other forms of entertainment on offer too. We learned about campfire cooking, watched how to make a wooden bow and heard all about iron forgery… so where were we? …
Oh, how rubbish I am at sticking to this meal planning lark! Out of last week’s plan I think we probably had around half of our planned meals, and I couldn’t tell you whether we ate them on the ‘right’ day or not. We did, however, manage not to have any takeaways this week which …
Easter wouldn’t be nearly as fun for us if we didn’t do a National Trust Easter Egg Hunt. This year we were in Wales over the Easter bank holiday weekend so our treasure hunt was at Cilgerran Castle just outside Cardigan. We’ve been members of the National Trust for a few years now and every …
I’ve never really been at the forefront of fashion. I wear clothes I’m comfortable in and I never spend a lot of money on clothes for myself. One of the items on my list of things to do before I’m 40 is to spend £500 in one clothes shop on clothes for myself. Coupled with …

It’s been a month since I made my new year resolutions and here I am to confess update the blog with my progress so far. First up – weight loss. In week one I joined in with Sim’s weight loss linky, Weight Loss Wednesday and was brutally honest about my current situation. I was set …
I have loads of resolutions I want to make this year and one of them is not to put so much pressure on myself. I take on lots of different things all the time: I start new projects, I agree to charity stuff, I set up new blogs … and then I get all panicked because …
Today’s prompt from Outmumbered is for us to share a moment in our day. This was taken yesterday at the beach during a rare Mummy and Rowan day. Rowan was enjoying himself immensely and it was so nice to see him that happy!
