The New Hairdo with Little Princess Trust and Shrek’s Adventure

The girls have had long beautiful hair which looked lovely but was high maintenance. The washing, conditioning routine meant a good part of the evening and weekend was spent on this. I had been trying to convince them to get a haircut for some time or even a trim to lighten the weight but to no avail. And then The Little Princess Trust stepped in. When I explained the work of the Little Princess Trust, they were suddenly prepared to donate their hair for this wonderful cause. Two weeks ago, we headed off early into London to Shrek’s Adventure for …

#RealRapunzel with Little Princess Trust and Shrek’s Adventure London

Next Saturday, we’re headed to a rather unique event. My two girls are going to be donating their hair for the Little Princess Trust. So this – is going to take a good cut. The girls are thrilled at being able to do something like this and can’t stop talking about it. I wish I had not cut my hair so recently so I could have also contributed. But alas! If you want to know more about the event and register for it, here’s some more information – SHREK’S ADVENTURE! LONDON TO HOST MASS HAIR DONATION EVENT FOR THE LITTLE …

Race for Life 2015 – We Did It!

Yesterday, Jadyn and I set off for our first ever Race for Life event. You must have read my previous posts about our training (if any) and how we were preparing as well as why we were running. As I mentioned in one of my posts, there is a lot happening that took the excitement off this race but yesterday when I entered the grounds, I was awed. A sea of pink – runners, joggers, walkers, pushchairs and even dogs on leads. The atmophere was charged. The army ready to tackle the field. And Jadyn and I were part of …

Making Every Moment Count with Shooting Star Chase

We’re normally home by 3.30 as the school is a short walk from the house. The children change out of their school clothes, have a quick snack and then settle down to play. I sometimes join them before I head off to cook dinner and they do some schoolwork. 4 pm – This is our ‘play’ hour. I encourage the children to play together and have fun. And do we have fun. It is also accompanied with some after school snacks and we share our day. Like all mums, my life revolves around my children and I am really thankful …

My children have been smiling a lot lately. They have been invited to some rather lovely events and have been greeted with some amazing deliveries.

There are some children who may not be smiling as much this year with the reasons being numerous. Duracell, is a big part of Christmas as it powers toys and games on Christmas Day bringing smiles to everyone. This year Duracell is …

#SeeTheMiracle with Sightsavers

Eyesight is something I take for granted. I do wear spectacles which means that my vision is not 20/20 but the main thing is  – I can see. I can see my family, my home, my neighbourhood, enjoy a sunset –  enjoy the day to day routine without a thought to my  eyes. What would it be like to be blind? It’s a scary thought, one I don’t want to think about. My father recently had the cataract operated in both eyes and I can see how much that has changed his eyesight. Cataract Cataract is a clouding of the …

I’m Washing Away CMV…Will you?

Kimberley Walsh, Rufus Hound and Dr. Miriam have become patrons of CMV ACTION , a charity dedicated to raising awareness of and, ultimately, eradicating a killer virus that affects 1 in 1000 newborn babies in the UK each year. CMV, or Cytomegalovirus, is a common virus that can infect people of all ages. I was not really aware of the dangers of CMV but am happy that this campaign has made me wiser and I hope that by sharing this, I can raise awareness of the dangers and steps that can be taken to stop the spread. Once CMV is in a …
