50 Books Challenge: May round up
It’s been a while since I did a round up, mainly because I’ve read a couple of huge books (my Kindle was telling me they’d take 8 hours each, and I’m a pretty fast reader, although only really get an…
Working with brands
Review: 360, Milton Keynes
Yesterday N and I went to 360 in Milton Keynes for a meet up with some friends. We don’t get to see them very often, what with work and family, so we like to make the most of it so…
Kelo-cote® scar reduction treatment review
Having had an unplanned c-section with N, I’ve obviously got a scar. I was lucky enough to have one of the best surgeons at doing the op in the area according to a few people I spoke to, and considering…
Creative ‘baking’ with a 3 way Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bark recipe
Ad – sponsored post I hadn’t realised when I agreed to do this Cadbury Dairy Milk post for Collective Bias®, that today was National Baking Day. My challenge was to make something creative with Cadbury Dairy Milk. Although we didn’t officially…
Review: Kiddies food kutter
N’s been proficient in using a fork since around 13 months old, but it’s hard to know when’s the right time to introduce a knife at meal times. A couple of times I’ve tried as he’ll often use a spoon…

50 books 2013 challenge: March update
I’m well into the book challenge now, having read 20 with a couple on the go at the moment. I have to admit this month I’ve struggled to get enough slots of time which allow me to get into the…
Get ready for Mother’s Day – engraved gifts
Mother’s Day is coming up (10th March for those of you with bad memories and need reminding…my brother being one!) and it’s that time to have a think about what gifts would be appropriate for your nearest and dearest. Or…
Review: Cowboy dude – Joker’s Masquerade
I think I’ve mentioned before that N’s never really seemed that fussed about fancy dress costumes. At Christmas he was happy enough wearing his shepherd outfit all afternoon for our NCT party, but take him to softplay where you’ll see…
Review and offer: BassBoomz
After review the BassBuds a while back, I’ve been sent some BassBoomz to review. N loves to listen to music and dance (although is currently into rocking to AC/DC thanks to his dad’s influence), so the BassBoomz are great to…
