A couple of years ago I went to see Andy Day (The tall skinny one with curly hair from cbeebies) and his mate Mike James in ‘The big box of bananas’, which Curly Headed Boy loved. So when we were invited to review their new show ‘The Tick Tock Time Machine’ I jumped at the […]
We love our kids, but it’s not always easy to have the amount of energy needed to keep them occupied, especially during holidays or when we are sick! So here are some tips on what to try when you are shattered, but you don’t want to turn on Cbeebies yet and you don’t want to […]
How important is it for us Mums to maintain a self of our identity after having kids do you think? How much should we be doing purely for ourselves every day or every week? Lots, a Little, or somewhere in between? I had a ‘discussion’ with a mate about it (thank goodness she is […]

I loved going to Britmumslive where I learnt loads and went to the awards ceremony. The MAD Blog Awards was wonderful. We’ve even had a couple of blogging get togethers here in St Albans and the #BlogItForBabies event. But there is something missing …. The chance to chat properly with people I’ve met […]
So I lost the bid to defend my title from last year in the Small Business Blog award for the Mums and Dads blogging awards *sad face*. Question is, does that make me a big fat loser? And therefore all the rest of the people who lost and all those who didn’t get to the […]

Guess what, I’m now a ‘Lifestyle Correspondent’ for Radio Verulam’s Drivetime show with Danny Smith. How cool is that! I’m doing a monthly tips on the third monday of every month covering everything from money to health to relationships and back again.
