We all love the stories of the people who managed to succeed against all the odds, with loads of hard work; it’s the under dog effect isn’t it? At the moment I’m listening to a song whenever I go running called ‘Jimmy’ by a new band called Jon Paul Palombo who I saw performing at […]
I am soooo excited! My first every competition is going to be for the most amazing prize, a Radio Flyer from The Wagon Company. What is a Radio Flyer you might ask, and why would I want one? Well initially I just thought that it looked like a nice red trailer that my kids might like to play […]
Sally Whittle, the organiser of the MADs Blog Awards, really likes to see me look daft! I love her blog, and it brightens my day, so here is my present for her! You see, I’ve been wondering whether I should be practicing my faces for the awards ceremony in SIXTEEN DAYS TIME? Yes, I am ridiculously excited […]
So this year was our first ever summer family holiday. I know it seems weird it took us so long, but time just seemed to take over (Curly Headed boy was 5.5yrs this summer). So when we came to book for a family of four I was HORRIFIED by the price. Clearly all of us […]

Did I mention I’m a finalist for the MAD Blogger awards in their Small Business Category, LoL? Really, you didn’t hear me shouting about it and jumping up and down in an excited and bouncy way?! If not, then read here … and vote for me, and then TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW to vote for […]
Do you remember what’s it’s like to do that first independent thing purely for you after a baby, that required travel or something unusual? Or are you still at the place where your baby is too young? Well I went out yesterday, all the way into London for a Blogging conference no less. It wouldn’t […]
