Over the last few years, I’ve slipped into the bad habit of skipping breakfast. Our mornings before school can be so hectic and with so many things to remember for the children, I often forget to eat until much later on – when I suddenly realise I’m ravenous! But this year I am determined to get back into the habit of eating breakfast. It’s one of my New Years goals, and so far I am doing pretty well. Our mornings are still chaos, and I know that’s unlikely to change, so I’m finding ways to make breakfast an easy, manageable part of my routine. One of the best ways I’ve found to do this, is to prepare things which I can grab and eat on the go. I’ve been trying out various recipes, finding things which we all like, and I’m going to share one of my favourites with you now. (more…)

It can be hard to know what to buy for the adults in your life. Buying for children, especially my own, I find quite simple. But choosing gifts for adults is a whole other ball game. One thing that I think we could all do with a little more of in our lives, is mindfulness. And by that I mean taking time to slow down, looking after our own needs and indulging in little luxuries. So here I have put together a collection of gift ideas that you could give to someone this Christmas to facilitate a moment of slowing down, and enjoying small luxuries that they might not usually indulge in.

Anyone who has known me for any length of time knows that I love to bake. Some of my earliest memories are of baking in the kitchen with my mum and nana, and since having my own children, it is something that I love to share with them too. Whether that’s baking together, or whipping something by myself up for them to enjoy. Recently Natural Delights got in touch to see if I would like to collaborate with them on a YouTube video and create one of our favourite sweet treats, with a twist. Of course, I said yes, and had a great time following a recipe from the Natural Delights website. (more…)

Updating Ernie’s bedroom has been on the to do list for a very long time. There have been so many times over the last couple of years when it has nearly been the top priority, and then something else has come along and it’s slipped down the list again. But now the time has finally arrived. He’s due to start school (next week – ahhhh!!) and so it feels like the perfect time to give him a more grown up bedroom. (more…)

What is cashback?

This feels like the most obvious place to start with this post. Put simply, cashback is the term for a percentage of money you receive back when you purchase an item. The percentage can vary anywhere from less than 1% to as high as 20%, but I would say on average you are looking at around 5% from a cashback site. (more…)

Self confidence has been a battle for my whole life. I used to say that it’s only been since becoming a mother, but actually I’ve always struggled to feel confident in myself. When I was younger there was a big pressure to fit in with everyone else, to have the right clothes and go to the right places. I don’t think I ever quite grasped it, but I found a lot of confidence when I entered the working world. I liked earning my own money and providing for myself, I liked having the freedom to be who I wanted. I was finally away from the restrictions and pressures of school, college or university. And then motherhood hit me like a ton of bricks. Suddenly the financial independence was gone, my clothes didn’t fit and I didn’t have the time or the energy to do any of the things that made me feel good in myself. (more…)
