When Shaken Udder Milkshakes asked us if we’d like to taste their milkshakes I did a little research into their ingredients lists. Thankfully, they’re not keen on beastly sweeteners either and so I agreed for the boys to try them out. Shaken Udder Milkshakes come in three kids flavours; Strawberry, Chocolate and Banana. We received …
Review: Leap Frog Learning Friends Play & Discover School Set
We have been fortunate enough to receive a Play and Discover School Set from Leap Frog Learning Friends. Rowan started school at quite a young age when he was four years and three weeks old, and I was really concerned about how he would manage. I worried about the academic side of things being too …
A night out with seven bro7hers
It isn’t very often I drink real ale of any kind, though I have been known to attend a beer festival or two in my time. I’m not one to shy away from beer-related events – I’m open minded like that – so off I went to a warehouse on an industrial estate in the …
Guest Post: Nella Milano Nail Polish Review & Giveaway
I was asked if I’d like to review a nail lacquer and I wasn’t going to say yes, because I honestly haven’t the first idea about nails. Or make up in general, actually. But then I remembered that my lovely friend Emma is completely and utterly obsessed with them and I knew she’d be perfect for …
How to make rock bugs
Last week I took the boys down to a nearby country park after school. Due to the fact that I’m not at all organised they ended up getting muddy in their school uniforms but I’m pretty sure the recklessness of it all made the outing all the more fun. As we arrived it started to …
Wild camping: would you?
I love camping, yes. I’m not sure though that I’d be comfortable doing any wild camping. It’s just that for me, I worry a lot. I worry that someone will steal our belongings if we leave the tent, I worry that the police will come along and tell us we’re not allowed to be …
Dear Kitchen
Dear Kitchen, We need to talk. I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. I’ve fallen out of love with you. Your oven refuses to fan, your fridge leaks and your freezer is just too small. You’ve served me well and for that I’m truly thankful, but there comes a time in every girls life where …
Claim your FREE Mother’s Day card from Truprint
Mother’s Day can be a bit difficult for me. My mum likes flowers every now and then but they’re not really ‘her’. She loves a good gadget more than anything else, truth be told. She does work at a computer though, so when Truprint asked me to choose what I’d buy my mum for Mothers …
Win Theatre Tickets at The Lowry
I am a long standing fan of The Lowry Theatre in Salford. I take the boys whenever I have the opportunity. We have seen quite a few different shows, and I’ve given away tickets for various shows via the blog too. Today I have a double treat for you. I have 2 tickets to giveaway …
Win a Blackspade Nightdress!
There’s something really comforting about having a long, hot bath before getting wrapped up warm and cosy in some really comfortable nightwear, curling up in front of the telly or with a good book in front of the fire, and really winding down of an evening. It can’t be any old nightwear though, it has to …
