Posts for particular times of the year
I’m not a fan of New Years Resolutions, I think it’s a time for a detox, clear out and rest. Goals can just add to the weight of things we don’t achieve as Mums. What I use are ‘Life Priorities’ Life Priorities help you to organise your time, energy and money spends for the […]
I know this post is a bit late for christmas, but there is all the birthday’s next year and Christmas in 12 months time. Basically, BEWARE buying presents for people without being sure of the refunds policy, especially if it’s not a big name shop you are buying from. You may end up only being […]
It’s Christmas! But don’t panic about your weight! For a start, if you gain a few pounds, you can easily shed them quickly afterwards, so it’s really not worth stressing about. (so if that’s all you needed to hear, you are welcome to pop off and have an egg nog now!). But lets say there […]
Do you need ideas for those difficult presents? Well I have two ways of helping you in this post: Ideas and a competition for a fabulous £100 hamper. (Actually I recommend keeping the hamper or giving it to me, and buying the presents!). What I’d really like to say to the men ‘who never need […]
Do you fancy getting healthy, fit and maybe a bit slimmer? Without rubbish diets, fads, or boring exercise routines? It’s totally possible, it’s just that it wouldn’t make good TV or newspaper articles or expensive weight loss regimes if everyone knew how! I blogged all 2011 about losing weight.

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 […]
We are only just going on our first family summer holiday, so I hadn’t really faced the whole practicalities of travelling with a co-sleeping Little Dimples, and a 5yo Curly Headed Boy who still needed some form of bed guard to keep him in bed. When we have travelled with my son before, we had […]
I so look forward to the holidays, but the last half-term was a huge disaster, so much so that I couldn’t bring myself to blog about it. The big hairy northern one was away, the little irish granny I found in Tescos was ill, and I still had some work to do, despite it being […]
Today we went to the Hertfordshire County Show for the first time ever, so I thought I’d pop you guys a quick post incase you are thinking of going tomorrow or monday (or even another year!), especially if you’ve never been before like us. So here are my tips: Make sure: Go early! We got […]
Ok so I know it’s easy for me to say that ‘simple things work best for kids’, when I like simple things. It’s not so easy now a days for people who like expensive trips, toys, holidays etc and they can’t afford it. It’s all very well for people to say that we shouldn’t be […]
