We made a super simple, but lovely wreath [...]

You may recall that I mentioned we were going on our Family holiday to France a couple of months back. We were invited to go courtsey of the Alfresco Holidays Team. To be honest, though the website and brochure looked nice, we were not really sure what to expect! What a very lovely holiday we had! It [...]
Oooh guess what arrived on my doorstep this morning: Yep, that is right, a Valentine’s Treats Hamper and if you know me, you know, that “Saying you Love Someone ISN’T just for Valentines”… you should tell them ALL YEAR round. But Valentine’s really is a good time of year for the outside world to give [...]

What happens when you let an almost 2yrs old “get ready” for Halloween by themselves…
Oh my.. how delicious. Nothing quite like a fresh homemade loaf of bread… and even better. It only took “me” 5minutes to make… yes, wonders do exist and this one is called the Premium Plus Breadmaker by Morphy Richards. How lucky are we to have received this wonderful wonderful machine as part of the House [...]
As you may know, we LOVE the beach. I didn’t grow up going to the beach myself, but thought it would be nice for my children to do so themselves – I want them to experience all nature: the sea, the mountains, the woods… We don’t live close to any beaches, so we only get [...]
