Food cupboard staples I can’t live without
Food is really important in our lives. Being a full time working mum, blogging in my free time, as well as being a mum of a growing, permanently hungry child, and wife to a farmer with a physical job, it…
Lifestyle
OK I lied!
So far, so pants at getting back to blogging. In summary, N & I have been on a road trip holiday this last week, so lots to remember to blog about, but I only had my phone with me which…
Summer sales
I’ve said it before, I’m a fan of shopping. I have to admit that I’m not keen on shopping for myself at the moment (predominantly because I’ve got loads of clothes that I can’t get into so don’t really want…
Capsule wardrobe for children – babies and toddlers
As soon as we know we’re pregnant, all we see when shopping is rows and rows of cute baby clothes. It takes a lot to not go mad and buy everything we like. But there really is no need. Babies…

You never lose your shopping knowledge
I can’t remember the last time I went shopping for me, apart from for some new work trousers, which let’s face it is more a chore than enjoyment. But being online and having a young child means you discover lots…
Salad for children?!
I mentioned a trip to Milton Keynes, but wanted to share my thoughts (read, incredulity!) at the children’s menu where we stopped for food. I decided that Jamie’s Italian might be nice to try as I’d eaten at one before…
