Our ‘Wonderfilled’ Family Day Out at Hever Castle with Oreo

by

We love OREOS – who doesn’t? So when we were chosen to take part in a Oreo based family day out and write about it, we were thrilled. We were sent some lovely Oreo packets to enjoy during the day. These are special promotional packs and you can read more about them below – With the weather as it is, we had to be careful of where we chose to go and after much deliberation, we decided to spend a day out at Hever Castle. We’ve been wanting to visit for some time and with Ethan learning about the Tudors …

42 Days of Summer with McVites BN Biscuits

by

When the summer holidays first began, I was worried about how I would keep the children occupied. We had no holiday booked and frankly we didn’t have a budget that allowed for a holiday. I really had no need to worry. Our days have been filled with things to do. We’ve been to some amazing events and some rather interesting places And when we haven’t been visiting places, we have been spending our time playing board games and enjoying our time together.   The children have not been bored and I have managed to keep sane. I think the weather …

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 …

#Littleadventures in the big city with Barny and my 3

by

Its time for Winter Little Adventures with Barny and this time there are some new flavours to be had – apple and strawberry. Two of my…er…my children’s favourite flavours. When this was delivered we knew this called for an adventure that would remain in our minds forever! Would eating bugs qualify? I think it’s a definite yes! So how did we end up doing this? On Thursday the children and I trooped into London for a never before ( and probably never again) adventure to see if we could survive a breakfast of bugs and to look around the big …

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 …

Keep smiling – BritMums #OralBloveyourgums Challenge

by

 A smile is a curve that sets everything straight! Who doesn’t dream of having the smiles seen on television? I would love to have teeth like that. I do know that they probably spend a good amount to get teeth like that but still…one can dream and then take good care of one’s teeth so that one doesn’t have to visit the dentist too often. I never realised the importance of really looking after teeth like I did during pregnancy. I mean, yes, I brush twice a day and floss and use mouthwash. But during my pregnancy no matter what …
