Reducing Food Waste with Too Good To Go

11/02/2024 Comments Off

With the cost of living rising and the price of food, bills and fuel soaring, we can all try to do our best at budgeting and living as economically as possible. If that’s by meal planning, trying to use our cars less or by turning down the heating by half a degree, it all helps the budget. One of my bugbears is food waste as we are all guilty of buying too much of something or forgetting about something in the back of the fridge and then having to throw it away.

A Spectacular Afternoon at Gandeys Circus

03/10/2021 5 Comments

What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon with family than going to the circus! We were lucky enough to be invited to Europe’s largest touring show – Gandeys Circus on the Forest Recreation Ground. This was our first indoor show since Covid and so I was a little bit nervous before and during the show. It was strange to be sitting so close to people you don’t know in an indoor setting but the amazing show took my mind off it and I really enjoyed it.

I’m not a domestic goddess. I’m not one of those people that enjoy cleaning. I try to keep our house as clean as I can but it’s a chore to me and I don’t get excited about it. Having said that, we were given the chance to try out and review the VAX ONEPWR Blade 4 Cordless Vacuum. I was so delighted and here’s why:

Aidy The Awesome – The Gramophones Theatre Company

The arts were hit hard by the pandemic. It’s been so long since we went to a theatre, cinema or music concert. Even during covid times, theatre companies have still been working on productions and last week we were lucky to be invited to see a preview of one of them. The Gramophones Theatre Company […]

Love Corn – Our Family’s New Favourite Snack

19/02/2021 69 Comments

With two hungry growing boys in the house, we are always looking for new foods to offer them. They always have their head in the pantry searching for a snack and will more often than not pull out a chocolate biscuit or a packet of crisps. Love Corn offered to send us some of their snack bags to try and I jumped at the chance to give the twins (and their Dad!) something healthier to graze on.

I’m always looking for new snacks or new treats to try. I seem to get stuck in a rut with eating the same things and so it’s great to try new foods and new flavours. I’ve been doing Veganuary again this year and trying to vary the snacks I can have has been challenging especially […]

Using Aromatherapy to get a Better Nights Sleep with Aubrey Bay

24/10/2020 15 Comments

I’m not a great sleeper, I’ve never slept well, since I was a teenager I think. I’m not a morning person. I always feel more rested when I go to bed late and wake up late. My ideal hours to keep would be bedtime at midnight and to get up at 9am. Unfortunately life doesn’t always work like that, especially when you have children and a partner who works shifts. Broken sleep is a common occurrence in our house. I need all the help I can get to help me sleep better and that’s where aromatherapy comes in.

Treads Shoes Twins Project – A Review

03/08/2020 9 Comments

Getting your children ready to start back at school is a major thing for parents in the school holidays. You are trying to enjoy the time off with them but September looms and everything you need to get ready is in the back of your mind. Uniform, P.E. kit, bag, coat and last but not least : school shoes. Getting your children’s feet measured is a big milestone and as they get older, the excitement for the kids of seeing how much they have grown makes the measuring that bit easier.
