Review: Ozeri Duo Ultra grinder
I’m a big fan of kitchen gadgets, and I think N’s taking after me in that aspect. It might just be a child thing liking cooking and gadgets, rather than something he’ll continue to want to do, but I’m all…

Book Review: The boy who ate everything
On being told the title of this book we were sent ‘The Boy who Ate Everything’, N immediately seemed interested. Why am I not surprised given he also likes eating?! So I knew it wouldn’t be long before he’d pick…
Review: Haba Tack Zap On Duty
I’m not big on DIY. Thankfully the OH’s pretty handy around the house if required and it appears that N might take after him. Or at least he’s currently enjoying any opportunity to wield a hammer or screwdriver (our recent…

Book Review: I love you, Alfie Cub
We received our latest Parragon book for review the other day, and I’ve been trying to persuade N that we should try reading it. I think he’s a bit sick of new books and keeps asking for ‘witch on the…
January books – 50 books in 2014
I’ve had a bit of a slow start to my 50 books in 2014 challenge. I’ve managed 4 books, but those were a struggle. I’ve just got too much blogging on my mind, so really must set out 30 minutes…
Review: Children’s activities with Weekend Box
With the wet weather recently, it’s been really hard to get outside and do some of our usual activities. Although I pin lots, we never really get round to indoor activities, and often if I do suggest them, N’s not…
Little treats and gems of independent boutique shops
As a mum, it’s not often that I get a chance to go shopping for myself and treat myself to something really special. A lot of the time I’m either shopping for N, or trying to rush in some shopping…
Book review: The Carrot Cake Catastrophe
The latest book we received from Parragon Books is the Carrot Cake Catastrophe. N’s always keen on anything to do with food, so although it takes him a while to accept new books, as soon as he realised this was…
What we enjoyed playing with at Christmas
We had a major fail this year when I totally forgot about the time and my intention to take N to the local Christingle service. By the time I remembered, it was too late to go, so that’ll have to…
Party idea: Pizza making at Pizza Express
I’d not come across this before (can’t believe how I missed out hearing about it!), but we went pizza making at Pizza Express for our team’s work Christmas lunch. If you’re looking for something a bit different for a party…
Parragon book review: The Night before Christmas
I love The Night before Christmas story, and N does have a copy of it. It is however, really hard to find a nice version that’s not too americanised, and that is true to the original wording. So I was…
