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…
Review: Hotel Chocolat Open Your Heart to Me (baby!)
It’s getting close to Valentine’s Day, and thoughts obviously turn to chocolate (especially if you’d given it up for a new year’s resolution as part of a healthy eating/weight loss regime…that’d be me, then!). Never one to turn down good…
Book review: The Invisible Ones – Stef Penney
Book number 3 of my 50 book challenge was The Invisible Ones by Stef Penney; it was one that I’d probably not usually have chosen. It’s not the usual modern fast moving crime/mystery book I read a lot of, but…

I was very lucky this Christmas as I received a Kindle Paperwhite from the OH (ok so it was on my list, but I thought I might just get vouchers and have to buy it myself). So the time had…
#50Books2013
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…
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…
Review: Colgate ProClinical electric toothbrush
I’ve never used an electric toothbrush but always fancied getting one. It’s just the choice and confusion that’s always put me off actually getting round to doing anything about it. However I’ve recently been sent the new Colgate ProClinical electric…
Review: Popcorn maker
I was very excited to receive this popcorn maker to review. I sometimes fancy popcorn, go out and buy the microwave stuff, then never actually make it. But this sounded so easy and healthy with no oil used, I thought…
