#BetterWithCake – Isn’t Everything?

by

Let’s face it – we all love cake. We can’t resist cake. And then, why should we.   Cakes make us happy and it has a scientifc theory behind it. Sugar (sucrose) increases the endorphins that boost mood and give us a ‘high’. Endorphins actually interact with cell receptors in the brain to block out pain and increase pleasure or satisfaction. There are other things that also increase endorphins but we’ll leave that for now. If you don’t know and would like to know, DM me or of course Google it. 😉 Back to cake – the reasons above obviously …

I Really Feel All-Bran New!

by

Once upon a time there lived a mum, who, like all mums was very, very busy in the mornings – packed lunches, breakfast and the school run. She would eat something very quickly or sometimes not eat anything at all for breakfast. The result – she would feel really hungry at about 10 am and then she would snack on a few biscuits. So…not good! One day, the postman delivered a parcel to her  – and her life suddenly became ‘all-bran new’. In the parcel were three boxes of Kelloggs All-Bran Cereal in the following flavours – Golden Crunch, Red …

My Kitchen Tales…

by

Kitchen Tales….If my kitchen could speak, well there would definitely be very interesting stories it would tell. Till then, you will have to make do with what my kitchen is to me…in verse form! 🙂 My kitchen – the room I love and hate, The place I slog, the place I create It is the place I sweat – and smile Where I stop to think for just a while As I look out at the tree outside –  And see where all the squirrels hide Their nuts and berries for the cold. And wonder what the future holds… If …

Mum Has A Few Tricks Up Her Sleeve With The Financial Magic App

by

As a mum I have quite a few magic tricks up my sleeve – for instance I can easily make chocolate and the iPad disappear when the children are extra spirited!! But some of my magic tricks are for me alone – to make my life easier. My top trick that I love to tell people about is to use a sheet/blanket when the children are playing with Lego. After stepping on Lego one too many times (and I can tell you this really hurts) and getting on my knees to pick up miniscule pieces that I sometimes need a …

BritMums Christmas Networking Event

by

On Monday,  it definitely felt like Christmas at the Britmums Christmas networking event sponsored by Morrisons. The moment I received the email about the event, I signed up and printed out my ticket. I know how fast tickets like this would go. I was pretty excited about the event as I knew a few bloggers who were going too and I was looking forward to meeting some bloggers with whom I had connnected with on Twitter and Facebook and wanted to meet in real life. I figured that since this was a smaller group, I would be able to catch …
