Colds...and how to handle them!

04:14 / BY Unknown
So, it seems I've been rather neglectful over the past week with my blog. Please do forgive me good reader, as it is all the fault of the common cold. (And the weather right now too!) I have been really trying to keep us all fit as a family over the last couple of weeks and have been walking the girls to school every day, it is a two mile journey there, so I have...

Weekend Round up

03:07 / BY Unknown
I can' believe the weekend has flown by yet again! January has come and almost gone so quickly. Although I never like to think of wishing time away, I am so ready for Spring now, aren't you? I don't know what the Winter has been like for all of you, but here in Cornwall we have thankfully escaped severe flooding, but experienced so much rain and apparently this week is going to get wetter and...

Nail it! - Budget Nails

02:08 / BY Unknown
Oooh - who loves a pop of colour on their nails? I do..... and I don't. I have a love/hate relationship with nails - there are times when I fancy a change and will paint them and then I paint them and they chip.....you know what I mean, they end up looking a bit tatty but I don't seem to fit time in my day to grab polish remover.....ah silly of me really, perhaps it...

Weekend Post

02:20 / BY Unknown
I thought I would blog about our weekend. It wasn't hugely eventful, admittedly, however it was nice and we spent some quality time together as a family. Sugar rush Firstly on Saturday the girls both were invited to parties, so they were kept busy and sugar induced for the day! (there were candy floss and pop corn booths). Parties are a little out of my comfort zone (surely I'm not the only mum who feels...

Soap & Glory Product review

02:10 / BY Unknown
Ok, so I was given this as a present for Christmas. I have to be honest I didn't get very much in the way of beauty/bath time bits this year so I was quietly pleased when I found out I had been given  a Soap & Glory box of tricks! I have used their products a few times in the past and they are lovely. I am definitely more of a shower girl and this...

Free Family Fun!

13:37 / BY Unknown
So...it's Thursday which means the weekend is on the horizon...yep it is almost there....yipee! I love weekends because it means a break from the routine, a cheeky half an hour in bed, if I am lucky as my youngest always awakes at the crack of dawn.....but it is nice to slop around in pjs, have a breakfast that I can eat sitting down and generally not watch the clock and panic when 8.30 am rears...

Monthly Book Review - The Wisdom of my Grandmothers by Adriana Trigiani

02:09 / BY Unknown
I have just finished the book The Wisdom of my Grandmothers by Adriana Trigiani Since finishing my degree it is such a pleasure to be reading books that I want to read instead of books I have to read to complete an essay! Although that being said through my English degree I have stumbled upon books that I have fallen in love with that I may have never read. I tend to go for books...

Budget Beauty

02:57 / BY Unknown
I thought I would write a quick post on the make up products I use. I am a very busy mum of 2 girls and make up isn't always a high priority in my life. However, that being said I do like to have a play around with make up on occasions, and have definitely found heading into my thirties that a little bit of make up here and there doesn't go a miss. So...

Sweet Leftovers

13:50 / BY Unknown
So after Christmas Day dinner I have been living on turkey and stuffing sandwiches with the odd cheese and cracker thrown in for good measure. Not that I am complaining in any way, it was Christmas after all. Although I may have consumed all the leftovers in my fridge, what does remain is the mountains of chocolate stashed away in the tins dotted around the kitchen. So I thought, we could eat away at our...

Happy New Year 2016!

05:16 / BY Unknown
I thought that the New Year would be the perfect place to start a blog. I have been meaning to write a diary for what feels like forever, but never get around to it so I thought why not have a go a blogging instead. At least this way I can record what I get up to in picture form as well as post snippets such as recipes/shopping hauls/beauty/fashion ideas all in one place.  ...
