Beary Adventurous Days Out – with Barny

When I signed up to the Barny Little Adventures with BritMums, I really didn’t know what I was getting myself in for. The moment the children knew about the word ‘adventure’ they wanted just that – an adventure. A walk in the park would not do for them – they wanted the whole hog. After much thinking, we decided that it would be nice to visit Bodiam Castle – it should be adventurous enough! It was a lovely day and the drive to Bodiam took about an hour.

Meals made simple with Shwartz 2in1

We have home cooked meals cooked from scratch most of the time, although I admit with 3 children,we sometimes take the easy way out and resort to frozen chips and nuggets and fish fingers, not to forget pizza.

BritMums Live 2013 – Day 1

So here goes – I was at BritMums Live 2013 and I have returned inspired, creative and ready to blog with renewed vigour. I was all set to leave and meet up with a few people at Starbucks as planned but I somehow got delayed and decided to head out straight to The Brewery.

Italian Wedding Soup – Hungry 2 Happy Challenge

  This post is an entry for BritMums’ Hungry to Happy Challenge sponsored by Richmond Mini Meatballs     BritMums asked bloggers to take on the challenge of preparing something quick with meatballs for the children to go from hungry to happy in minutes. I also needed something that would keep them happy for sometime so I could carry on with blogging, undisturbed!! So I decided to make an Italian Wedding Soup. It is actually called ‘minestra maritata’ or’ married soup’ because of the meatballs and the greens going well together. Shell pasta is traditionally used and you can use any …
