More Delightful with Dates | Ice Cream Edition

It’s been such a pleasure to collaborate with Natural Delights on a few videos over the last six months, and I’m especially excited to tell you about the latest episode of More Delightful With Dates. Previously I have made brownies and breakfast bars using dates for natural sugar and great added nutrients too, and both recipes turned out brilliantly. However, I was slightly more apprehensive to be making… ice cream! I knew the dates would give the ice cream a delicious flavour, but I had less high hopes for my ice cream making abilities – particularly as I don’t own an ice cream maker. (more…)

Gift Guide 2022 | For the Kids

Well here we are again, Christmas is creeping up on us at an alarming speed, which can only mean one thing here – it’s Gift Guide season!

I’m keeping it simple this year and in this post you will find a selection of things that we either already own and love, or that have been highly requested by my own children this year. I have linked everything within the post, all links are in pink text so should be easy enough to spot.

Of course, all children have different interests and tastes, but I hope that you will find a glimmer of inspiration within this post. So without anymore rambling from me, let’s get into it: (more…)

This Quiet

The children are at school, the house is quiet.

For years I thought I wanted this quiet, I craved it, and I still sometimes do. When the house is loud, the mess is overwhelming, I still find myself longing for quiet. When sticky hands are everywhere, too many screens are making too many sounds and I can’t even hear my own thoughts. Quiet sounds nice. (more…)

Helpful Items for New Mums

When you enter motherhood, the list of responsibilities you need to face day to day can seem endless. As mention in this post entitled There is Nothing ‘Just’ About Being a Mum, mothers need to make a number of huge decisions for their children, including what to feed them, what to dress them in, and where to take them. Though these responsibilities can seem overwhelming, there are still ways you can make each task more manageable.

For one, if you’re expecting, it can help to sit down and take the time to identify what you need to buy for your baby. Buying the essentials before your due date will take a huge weight off your mind, and your future self will thank you for not needing to add shopping to your already packed schedule. Aside from the usual nappies, clothes, and bottles, here are some suggestions of products a new mum will need:

To the mum who has lost herself,

I hope you’re okay. I’m writing this today because I’ve been in your shoes. I’ve been in that place where I feel I’ve given everything to my children and had nothing left for myself. I’ve sat, and cried because I didn’t even know who I was anymore. But I’m here to tell you that it can get better, it does get better. (more…)

There Is Nothing ‘Just’ About Being A Mum

Whenever anyone asks me what I do I say ‘Oh, I’m just a mum’. As if there needs to be more to it than that. As if being a mum isn’t a valid use of my time and energy. Why do I do it? I don’t know, but I do know that it’s not just me. I’ve heard countless other women say it too. So this is to all of them, to me, to you, to anyone who needs to know that there is nothing ‘just’ about motherhood –
