Following on from my kids books post yesterday, I’ve managed to catch up with the 50 books in 2013 challenge. I spotted it last year, but it was a bit late to catch up. I had totally forgotten about looking…

Favourite children’s books
N obviously takes after me in his love of books (plus of course being a typical toddler who’s sucking up all the information in them!). We tend to have to read quite a few before bedtime, although sometimes he’s quite…
Review: Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief
I’m not generally one for posh creams and skincare, preferring to use a mix of products depending on what it’s for. I don’t really find specific brands helping if I layer them up. Instead I pick and choose products that…

Merry Christmas
Just wanted to say a quick Merry Christmas to everyone. Thanks for reading my blog and hope to see you on the other side, having had a lovely day where all your wishes come true.
