Being a mom is a full-time job, only there are no sick days, no vacation days, and no time off. That is as hectic as it sounds. Anything that can make a mom’s day easier, she’ll be happy to try. Enter the Instant Pot. Moms around the world have been singing the praises of the
Post in paid partnership with HelloFresh If you’ve been following me over on Instagram, we’ve been trying to eat fresher and healthier this year. We’ve been trying to source fresh produce and eat as well as possible, plus doing lots of excercise and I feel so much better for it, as well as losing nearly
Post contains PR samples One of Violet’s FAVOURITE activities to do is to bake cakes! Baking got us through lockdown and is always a hit on a rainy day, especially if Violet gets to lick the spoon afterwards. Even though lockdown was only a few months ago, Pearl wasn’t really old enough to understand and
I’m writing this post not for any purpose really, but to document the fact I’ve reached peak lockdown cliche. I have officially made sourdough bread and am the biggest self-confessed covid clone going. I’ve moved through all the trends – gardening, Animal crossing, banana bread, painting rainbows – we’ve done them all but none of
As Mums, sitting down and eating a hot meal in peace and quiet is quite a luxury these days, so I was excited when I was recently asked to visit the Giggling Squid restaurant in Hove to review their brand new menu. Hot food, child free and uninterrupted, maybe even a glass of prosecco –
*Post written in paid partnership with Mr Kipling When you are a Mum, cake is currency. There is not one soft play meet, play date or coffee and catch up where cake isn’t mentioned, and you know what? I am totally okay with that – cake makes any day so much brighter! It’s also fair
Post written in paid partnership with ASDA Brighton Hollingbury Boo! ? I’m so excited that it’s nearly Halloween! I just love this time of year with Halloween, Bonfire Night, my birthday (the 14th Nov… just in case you wondered) and then Christmas! With the cold, crisp weather, the dark nights – there are so many
Post written in paid partnership with Organix I’ve shared a huge amount of our weaning journey with Violet on the blog, but I’ve not ever talked about our decision to raise our children as vegetarians, so I thought I’d chat about this today. This isn’t just about not eating meat but also how we always
If I could say which element of parenting I find the most stressful, I’d say anything to do with eating, for sure. Give me a full on toddler temper tantrum to deal with over a spilt bowl of macaroni cheese any day. Violet hasn’t been the easiest baby to wean – I think the combination
Last weekend I had a full day out in London – baby free! Think this was my first Saturday away from Violet in the time since she has been born, which is over 15 months now! Maybe it’s the panic that getting out and about with two will be so much harder, but I’ve been
There is one thing I love in life and thats MEXICAN FOOD! I loved it before I was pregnant, but right now the mix of spice, sour cream and cheese just seems to tick all my pregnancy craving boxes too, making it my ideal meal out. So, on a sunny Spring day, V, Violet and
As I write this, I have a mouth full of sugary sweet goodness which was delivered through my door this morning. As a serial sweet-fiend, when Treatbox got in touch and asked if I’d like to review their Treatbox Candy Lovers subscription boxes I didn’t even hesitate to reply with a huge YES. What a
