I still haven’t taken the boys skiing.  It’s something I tried years ago when I stayed with a Russian friend who was studying in Finland.  But when it comes to booking a skiing holiday there is so much choice.  You really need to do your research before committing to a location. Here are some considerationsRead more

On Friday night we headed to Llandudno for a Buyagift Deluxe Gourmet Escape I had booked.  These breaks are such good value.  Priced at £149.99 we had dinner, an overnight stay at a wonderful hotel in Llandudno and breakfast included the following morning.  We picked the Belmont Llandudno, it was a gorgeous boutique hotel rightRead more

Okay I am the first to admit I have very little creative imagination when it comes to renovating our house.  Each room seems a clone of the last.  As much as I love magnolia even I am starting to find the format a little dull.  So, I have decided to search the internet for otherRead more

Last week I had a stomach bug it was no fun I can tell you.  I felt queasy all day and it involved a fair bit of vomit!  I am not sure where I caught the bug.  But it did get my thinking about the food I ate over the last couple of days.  AccordingRead more

I love it when you find a game concept that’s completely new and different!  The boys and I just had the most wonderful time playing Operation: Escape Room.  The boy’s dad has already done an escape room experience.  But the boys are currently too young so haven’t had a chance yet.  Which is a shameRead more

Oh my gosh how I would have loved a Style 4 Ever Eraser Maker from Canal Toys when I was a kid!  I used to love collecting erasers, the more the merrier.  But to have had the chance of making my own would have been a real highlight.  I think I would have squealed withRead more

There is nothing worse than seeing your child feeling unwell.  Unless you have a medical background, you can feel helpless.  We are very much reliant on the diagnosis of our doctors.  Most of the time they do a wonderful job! But occasionally they do make mistakes.  If your gut is telling you that the issueRead more

Rapidough is so much fun.  We often play it now without the kids!  I enjoy seeing what the grownups end up sculpting.  Especially when some of them have limited creative abilities!  The mind boggles when you see what they attempt.  My dad has me in stitches with his efforts.  Team games like this are hilarious. Read more
